Nocturno by João Godinho, Joana Gama
This album brings together piano and toy piano pieces that are part of Nocturno (co-created by Joana Gama and Victor Hugo Pontes), a music and dance piece inspired by the mysteries, fears and fantasies that the night represents in the children's universe. All compositions are by João Godinho (b. 1976, Portugal), except Ró-Ró, an arrangement by João Godinho for piano and melodic instrument on a traditional Portuguese melody. The Valsa do Fauno / Waltz of the Faun is a parody of Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune by Claude-Achille Debussy.
