FADOS OF COIMBRA
Coimbra is the third largest city in Portugal and is located in the
north central par.t of the country. It is the home of the University
of Coimbra and the flavor and character of a university town is
apparent. The river Mondego runs through the city and on the banks
are groups of poplar trees (choupal ). The white and pastel houses
cling .tQ the hills over the river and the University clock tower
dominates the setting.
Old university towns are the product of the ripening experience
of successive waves of youthful vigor and Coimbra is especially
cognizant and proud of its heritage and status. Its University is the
second oldest in Europe and its moods are often expressed in the
Fados of Coimbra, those melancholy "saudades" heard on this recording.
For the listener interested in add itional singing from Coimbra, a
recording has been released of the Coimbra Orfeon (Chorus) consisting of the 80-voice all male chorus of the University of Coimbra.
