Medley: Bésame Mucho with One Note Samba (Samba De Uma Nota Só) by Antonio Carlos Jobim TTBB - Digital Sheet Music
By Antonio Carlos JobimTwo of the most beloved songs in the Latin songbook, separated by two decades and two countries, turn out to share a philosophical soul: both are about the irreducible power of a single, essential thing — a kiss, a note, a person you keep returning to. Consuelo Velázquez wrote Bésame Mucho in Mexico City in 1941, reportedly before she had ever been kissed; it became one of the most recorded songs of the twentieth century. Antonio Carlos Jobim and Newton Mendonça composed One Note Samba in Rio in 1961 as both a bossa nova manifesto and a love poem disguised as music theory. This arrangement moves seamlessly between the two worlds: a lush, chromatic bossa nova bésame gives way, at a brighter samba pulse, to the wordplay and wit of Jobim's one-note philosophy — before the two songs converge in a shared resolution. Sophisticated, warm, and genuinely witty. Ideal for the second half of any concert program.davidmaddux.com
