Antonio Carlos Jobim has been called the greatest of all
contemporary Brazilian songwriters. He wrote both popular and
serious music and was a gifted piano, guitar and flute player. One
of the key figures in the creation of the bossa nova style, Jobim's
music made a lasting impression worldwide, and many of his songs
are now standards of the popular music repertoire. In The Music of
Antonio Carlos Jobim, one of the first extensive musicological
analyses of the Brazilian composer, Peter Freeman examines the
music, philosophy and circumstances surrounding the creation of
Jobim's popular songs, instrumental compositions and symphonic
works. Freeman attempts to elucidate not only the many musical
influences that formed Jobim's musical output, but also the
stylistic peculiarities that were as much the product of a gifted
composer as the rich musical environment and heritage that
surrounded him.
