The Adagio Alentejano by Jean-Marie Raymond, dedicated to the famous guitarist Quito de Sousa Antunes, is a musical composition inspired by the beautiful region of Portugal called the Alentejo.
This region, known for its vast and wild landscapes, its vineyards and its rich musical traditions as the Canto alentejano which was recognized as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO in 2014, served as a source of inspiration for the writing of this magnificent piece.
The Alentejo, with its characteristic melodies, is a real crucible of the Portuguese soul.
The Adagio Alentejano captures the essence of this region, expressing both its peaceful beauty and emotional depth.
This beautiful music, with its melancholic character, recalls the tranquility of the wheat fields that stretch as far as the eye can see and the mild Mediterranean climate.
It transports the listener on a musical journey through the green hills and picturesque villages of the Alentejo, offering a glimpse of the cultural and natural richness of this fascinating region.
The association of the guitar, the oboe and the string orchestra gives this work a dimension with a certain evocative power.
