Sons de Carillhões - Joao Pernambuco (Sheet Music & Tabs)

$7.00

Sons de Carillhões or ‘Sounds of Bells’ was composed by João Pernambuco - a brilliant Brazilian composer, guitarist, and singer from the early part of the 20th century.

He composed over 100 known works and is often considered to be as influential as his fellow countryman Heitor Villa-Lobos for establishing the 'sound' of Brazilian guitar. 

I first learned this piece in the 90s as part of my first year recital for university. My teacher William Bower suggested it and I’m so glad he did!

My arrangement has complete fingering suggestions for both hands and video tutorial(s) to guide you through the piece from beginning to end.

Sons de Carrilhoes (Sound of Bells) is one of his most popular and ubiquitous pieces. In this guitar tutorial I teach the piece note by note paying special attention to the semiquaver - quaver - semiquaver rhythm that is predominant. The piece is in Ternary form - beginning in the key of D-major; moving to a key change to sub-dominant G-major in the B section.
