João Portaro: Monteiro Lobato's Collection ( Part 2 )

Renata Cortez Sica plays five children pieces from the "Coleção Monteiro Lobato" (Monteiro Lobato's Collection - 15 pieces), by the composer João Portaro (1897 - 1963). The maestro João Portaro was also a famous piano professor and wrote interesting and funny musics for children. Here we have some of them, created about the Monteiro Lobato's characters: 1.Emília (Emily, the doll - polka)2.Dona Benta (Mrs. Benta - Brazilian song)3.Marquês de Rabicó (The Pig Short-Tail - baiao)4.No Reino das Águas Claras (In the Kingdom of Clear Waters" - berceuse)5.Conselheiro, o Burro Falante (Counsellor, the donkey - galope)About Monteiro Lobato: he is best known for a set of educational but entertaining children's books, which comprise about half of his production. Most of his children books were set in the Sítio do Picapau Amarelo ("Yellow Woodpecker Ranch"), a small farm in the countryside, and featured the elderly ranch owner Dona Benta ("Mrs. Benta"), her two grandsons — a girl, Lúcia ("Lucy") who is always referred to only by her nickname, Narizinho ("Little Nose", because she had a turned-up nose) and a boy, Pedrinho ("Pete") — and a black servant and cook, Tia Nastácia ("Aunt Anastacia"). These real characters were complemented by entities created or animated by the children's imagination: the irreverent rag doll Emília ("Emily") and the aristocratic and learned puppet made of corncob Visconde de Sabugosa (roughly "Viscount Corncob"), the cow Mocha, the donkey Conselheir("Counsellor"), the pig Rabicó ("Short-Tail") and the rhinoceros Quindim ("Candy"), Saci Pererê (a black, pipe-smoking, one-legged character of Brazilian folklore) and Cuca (an evil monster invoked by Brazilian mothers at night to convince their kids to go to bed). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M...
