SKU: A0.1207621
Composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim. Arranged by Timothy Stapay. This edition: pdf, streaming. Film/TV, Jazz, Latin, Pop, Standards. Score. 7 pages. Timothy Stapay #805789. Published by Timothy Stapay (A0.1207621).
"Desafinado" is arranged in a relaxed bossa-nova improvisational style.
“Desafinado” began as a hit in Brazil before spreading to the United States. Though the popularity of Jobim’s “The Girl from Ipanema” sometimes overshadows “Desafinado,” the latter is still widely preferred among musicians when sets call for a bossa nova hit.
In 1961, “Desafinado” received a boost in popularity when “Dizzy” Gillespie performed the tune at the Monterey Jazz Festival as part of a “musical safari.”
“Desafinado” translates to “out of tune” in English. Though discord in the composition is limited to the standard blues flat fifth, the lyrics draw a parallel between a lack of harmony in music and discord in human relationships. Mendonca’s lyrics depict a man pursuing a beautiful, perfect woman, yet all his actions and advances are construed as out-of-key.
Jobim's musical roots were planted firmly in the work of Pixinguinha, the legendary musician and composer who began modern Brazilian music in the 1930s. Among his teachers were Lúcia Branco and, from 1941 on, Hans-Joachim Koellreutter, a German composer who lived in Brazil and introduced atonal and twelve-tone composition in the country. Jobim's mother established a school where Jobim would begin taking lessons on the piano; this is when he would meet Koellreutter. Jobim was also influenced by the French composers Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, and by the Brazilian composers Ary Barroso and Heitor Villa-Lobos.
