Recording of alcides lanza's Voo. The lyrics of this composition are primarily in Portuguese, but the composer specifically chose to play with the source material, basing lyrics on poems which appear in NO OUVIDO DO TEMPO/NO OLVIDO DO TEMPO, a remarkable book of poetry by the Brazilian poet and composer Gil Nuno Vaz. Special acknowledgement is given to the Brazilian poet Raul de Leoni (1895-1926), since Gil Nuno Vaz integrated into his own poems some lines from an unpublished book by de Leoni, No Ouvido do Tempo. As a result, the Portuguese blends into Spanish and Italian intentionally, acting as a catalyst joining the notions of Columbus, Italian explorer, departing from Spain to explore the unknown sea; Columbus, whose writings in Spanish showed strong traces of Portuguese and Italian; and the fact that Portuguese and Spanish are the prevalent languages from Mexico to Tierra del Fuego.

With all these elements, the composer "tells" the story of the opening up of a new world - struggles and religion as icons on the way to modern civilization. Voo is dedicated to the "nautas cósmicos, acústicos e intelectuales" (translated as "to the cosmic, aquatic and intellectual travelers"); that is, to the discoverers and explorers of the universe, of the seas or of the mind, to the men and women like da Vinci, Columbus, Curie, Bartolomeu de Gusmão and so many others. Voo was written for Meg Sheppard, and was premiered by her in Alicante. The composer recognizes with gratitude and admiration her contribution to this piece, thanking her for many important suggestions, for the use of her voice in the production of the tape part, and for her exceptional talents …
