I'" - gam - gam - gam - gam d'a gua Pingos D'agua

Pingos D'agua was written under the spell of a misty winter evening, while listening to the monotonous falling of rain drops. This kind of "dropping effect" pervades the entire work, creating a continuous movement that is also a delicate background over which the melody is stated imitatively in the various voices. The text is based on a Brazilian proverb and refers to drops of water drilling a hole in the stone upon which they fall. The choir should develop a peculiar sonority imitating the sound of falling drops of water.

- Henrique de Curitiba

Drops of water drip water soft on Pin-gos d'a-gua pin-gam a-gua rna-Ie em peen-gahm maw-Iihm- l2fW1-gohs ~-gwah iMl-gwa Only rock hard very much hits until that bores a hole pe-dra du-ra tan-to tao ba-te a-te que fu - ra ,ia-druh doo-ruh tahn-taw tahn bah-tee- ah-lfm keh foo-ruh

Soft water drops for a long time on a hard rock and bores a hole.
