Coro Casa da Música, Paul Hillier
Fernando Lopes-Graça's importance for Portuguese music of the 20th century cannot be overestimated. His influence on the music of the 20th century cannot be overestimated. His study of indigenous songs and traditions has been compared to that of Bartók, and the soulful melodies of the Três canções corais are an early example of his highly effective integration of folk style into strict, historically established forms. From the reverence and purity of the carols of the Christmas cantata to the harmonic density of the Três líricas castelhanas de Camões, the powerful and often deeply moving combination of Lopes-Graça's use of classical structures with the musical heritage of his country culminates in his compositions for voices.
