This is another must-know in Brazilian Guitar repertoire: "Abyss of Roses" or, in good Portuguese, "Abismo de Rosas". It's a romantic waltz from the great Americo Jacomino and one of my personal favorites. It draws heavily from Portugal's influence and the main melody can be righteously linked to Fado music.
This piece is very friendly to arrangements for various instruments and can be used as a canvas for experimentation in that regard, being often used in conservatory courses on that subject. In this rendition I have not tried to stay very confined to the original version, but do believe that the essence of the content was kept intact.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
