MANHA DE CARNAVAL-Black Orpheus-Guitar solo--PDF

"Manhã de Carnaval"' became one of the first Bossa Nova compositions to gain popularity outside
Brazil. Particularly in the United States, the song is considered to be one of the most important
Brazilian Jazz/Bossa songs that helped establish the Bossa Nova movement in the late 1950s. "Manhã
de Carnaval" has become a jazz standard in the U.S.A., while it is still performed regularly by a wide
variety of musicians around the world in its vocalized version or just as an instrumental one. In the
U.S., the song is also known as "A Day in the Life of a Fool", "Carnival", "Theme from Black Orpheus",
or simply "Black Orpheus". This work appeared as a principal theme in the 1959 Portuguese language
film Orfeu Negro by French director Marcel Camus. The film's soundtrack also included
songs by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes („A felicidade“) as well as the composition by
Bonfá "Samba de Orfeu". "Manhã de Carnaval" appears in the film, including versions sung or
hummed by both the principal characters (Orfeu and Euridice), as well as an instrumental version,
so that the song has been described as the main musical theme of the film.
