Dear listers:
I have a student interested in singing some of the Villa Lobos Modinhas e Canções. I'm trying to locate a source for Portuguese lyric diction, preferably using IPA, but so far to no avail. Our good friends Caio and Doris have both pointed me to web sites dealing with Villa Lobos and Brazilian music, but although these sites are very interesting, they aren't much help in figuring out the language! Here in Vancouver, the majority of Portuguese speakers are European, and aren't able to help much with the peculiarities of sung Brazilian Portuguese. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!
Many thanks (again) Cheers Craig, Burnaby BC
