ESPELHO – This CD was sponsored by Petrobras and released in 2006/2007. Most arrangements were produced collectively, but we asked Fernando Carvalhaes to help research the medieval repertoire and its performance, and write some of the arrangements. As singer, medievalist, professor, and composer, Fernando took part throughout the ESPELHO project at several meetings, working with us and offering arrangements for medieval pieces he proposed for this CD; indeed he was very much involved throughout the process. Fernando died in the city of São Paulo on 23 August, a few days after the master CD was sent for pressing. Not only the members of ANIMA, but music in general, and particularly medieval music, lost its "alter - ego", who set a great example with his guidance, and was a great friend of many years to Valeria Bittar and Luiz Fiaminghi. The ESPELHO CD was dedicated to Fernando Carvalhaes.
