Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars)

Lyrics

​

CONCERT INTRODUCTION

​

Peter Jenkins, 2018

 

Corcovado - or "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars" is a translated Portuguese Bossa Nova love song.

 

It has  been covered by Sergio Mendez, Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams and others.  Hopefully our version evokes the dreamy happy/sad reflections on love that Jobim portrays.

 

As far as the title: "Quiet Nights" - we all can understand and appreciate that.  But "Quiet Stars?"  - I have yet to hear any noisy stars. Have you? Maybe it's a Brazilian thing.....
