Meu Alentejo Tocado (Alentejo Popular Songs) derives from the title of one of the most popular Cante’s Modas, “Meu Alentejo Dourado”. This is an inspiration from the songbook, in a harmonic reinterpretation and evident adaptation of the melodic line depending on the intended performance level. All creations start from the collection of some particular interpretations that, from now on, make up the diversity of the execution of the Modas – each Cante Group and/or each geographical area makes a different interpretation of the same Modas.
The book projects a compilation of traditional
themes as a pedagogical tool which, through this edition, is also embodied in
artistic material and aims to ensure the perpetuation of this heritage which,
noted according to the forms of classical music, can be interpreted throughout
the world by fluent in this universal language that is music.
For each Moda, the performer can take care of
its origin, the lyrics and the main melodic line, with a harmonic suggestion to
accompany a harmonic instrument (such as the Viola Campaniça).
The piano accompaniment is original and is just
a suggestion by the composer, since Cante is an a cappella vocal genre.
The Modas are organized in order of difficulty,
from the easiest to the most difficult, making the interpretation transversal
to different teaching and technical-performative levels.

At Vila Compasso, preparations for Christmas festivities are underway: the metronome is set up, and the village square is illuminated in the Vila Tower. Mr. Piano, the Governor, commissions a symphony from the composer that all the instruments would play on the much-anticipated Christmas Eve. However, the music disappears, and Mr. Clarinet, the Detective, is called to solve this mystery. In this musical adventure, all the instruments in the village contribute to unravel the mystery, but can they succeed?
Vila Compasso is a book for children over the age of four and features this Christmas-adapted performance with a duration of about 60 minutes. Accompanying the narrated story, the Orchestra on stage performs the soundtrack of this tale, with illustrations serving as the backdrop.
