Description: FRAGMENT FROM OPORTO originates from my piece Itinerário das Amoras Bravas, with its music structured as an adapted extraction from that larger work. Nonetheless, it stands as an independent and legitimate piece on its own. The text serving as the foundation for FRAGMENT FROM OPORTO is drawn from the works of Manuel Teixeira Gomes and Teixeira de Pascoaes, writers of profound poetic and philosophical depth, with a close personal connection to the city of Porto.
