Não sou nada (2011)

These twenty-two songs were written in 2011 on excerpts from Fernando Pessoa’s poetry. Contrary to Riccardi’s Canti da Pessoa (op. 32), these songs are completely faithful to the original texts.

The song texts were drawn from fragments of these works:
Poemas de Alberto Caeiro 
Odes de Ricardo Reis
Livro do desassossego
Poemas de Alvaro de Campos

The chosen passages focus both on the emotional content of the texts and on the sounds of the words in the Portuguese language.
