The Mystery of the Portuguese Waltzes (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by Running the Goat, Books & Broadsides, 2019
ISBN 10: 1927917255 ISBN 13: 9781927917251
Paperback. Condition: new. Clarke, Caroline (illustrator). Paperback. . so Tamara sat again and stretched the accordion. The bellows unfolded, wheezing a great, windy breath before she pressed the buttons. But soon her fingers were racing after notes that tangled and scattered in all directions like frightened ducks. Her hands trembled, her fingers fluttered. Tamara is struggling to find the confidence to play her accordion in front of an audience. She learns the tunes well enough, and can play them when she's alone -- but as soon as she tries to perform for others, everything falls apart. One day her father encourages her to try playing for an elderly man in the seniors' home where her grandmother lives. His name is Art Stoyles, and he is a legendary accordion player in her hometown of St. John's. He is best known of a beautiful set of tunes called "The Portuguese Waltzes." Inspired by Stoyles, and by stories of his musical friendship with a Portuguese sea captain, Tamara gains the confidence she needs to perform. This charming middle reader celebrates the interconnections that music creates -- forging bonds between young and old, reaching across cultures and oceans. It grows out of author Richard Simas's fascination with "The Portuguese Waltzes" and features colourful artwork by St. John's-based musician and artist Caroline Clarke. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Searching for the Origins of the Portuguese Waltzes is a collection of narratives depicting a six-year quest to discover the roots of a piece of traditional music played in St. John's, Newfoundland: the Portuguese Waltzes. Through interviews, research, and observations, author Richard Simas explores the relationship between Portuguese bacalhoeiros (cod fishermen) and the population of St. John's during the recent cod-fishing era (approximately 1950 to 1980). Memory, and its varying interpretation among different communities, is a major underlying theme. Above all, though, this is a book about music, shared, invented, and improvised, underscoring the power of melody to capture and conserve emotional memory across the Atlantic.
