A Voyage Through Time... Tradução em português abaixo
The Portuguese have fished off the coast of Newfoundland for centuries. The
White Fleet would often visit the port of St. John's to take on supplies or
to shelter from the weather. They were a welcome sight, bringing their music,
wine, soccer, language and friendship. Relationships were forged and
treasured. We shared a common bond, hand-lining cod in some of the most
dangerous waters in the world, always at the mercy of the elements, and we
opened our homes and hearts to these windswept sailors from far away.
The White Fleet Suite is a tribute to those wooden ships and Iron men from
those exotic and passionate times. It is a musical presentation highlighting
our shared culture and history, with traditional and original music, song,
and poetry from NL and Portugal, and visuals from archival sources and
private collections.
Music composed and compiled by Pamela Morgan, orchestration and production by
Duane Andrews, poetry by Agnes Walsh,
Video demo above to Overture, featuring Ó mar Salgado, by Fernando Pessoa;
and foghorns from Ihavo and Cape Spear.
Vintage footage from Maria do Mar (Portugal, 1930); Newfoundland Cod
Fishermen (Newfoundland, 1930), and NL footage courtesy of Amber Music.
Uma Viagem No Tempo...
Os portugueses pescam na costa da Terra Nova há séculos. A Frota Branca
costumava visitar o porto de St. John's para comprar suprimentos ou se
proteger do clima. Eles foram uma visão bem-vinda, trazendo sua música,
vinho, futebol, língua e amizade. Relacionamentos foram forjados e
valorizados. Compartilhamos um vínculo comum, pescando bacalhau em algumas
das águas mais perigosas do mundo, sempre à mercê dos elementos, e abrimos
nossas casas e corações para esses marinheiros varridos pelo vento de
longe.
A White Fleet Suite é uma homenagem aos navios de madeira e aos homens de
ferro daqueles tempos exóticos e apaixonantes. É uma apresentação musical
que destaca nossa cultura e história compartilhadas, com música tradicional
e original, canção e poesia de NL e Portugal,e visuais de fontes de arquivo
e coleções particulares.
Música composta e compilada por Pamela Morgan, orquestração e produção
de Duane Andrews, poesia de Agnes Walsh,
Imagens de cabeçalho cortesia de Jean Pierre Andrieux.
Vídeo demo abaixo da Abertura, com Ó mar Salgado, de Fernando Pessoa; e
sirenes de Ihavo e Cape Spear.
Imagens antigas deMaria do Mar (Portugal, 1930); Newfoundland Cod Fishermen
(Newfoundland, 1930) e filmagens de NL cortesia de Amber Music.
A White Fleet Suite é um trabalho em andamento a ser estreado no Arts and
Culture Centre, St. John's NL, em 3 e 4 de novembro de 2023. Manifestações
de interesse são bem-vindas.
