his site was created to make available the collection of sacred hymns of Julio de
\nOliveira (14\/05\/1908 – 15\/09\/1967).<\/p>\n

It was a joint effort of family and friends in order to disseminate valuable material that could be used for both research and personal edification. It is composed of old audios, often recorded in non-ideal conditions; scanned musical scores; original musical scores with composer notes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The story of my<\/h2>\n

grandfather<\/h2>\n

I<\/h2>\n

didn\u2019t really get to share with my grandfather that much. When he died, I was just over five. Nonetheless, despite my young age when he left us, I can\u2019t say that I didn\u2019t know him well. His legacy lingers on and is well rooted in my family\u2019s character. Faced with the task of writing of him, I balked at how to approach the assignment, at how to purvey his personality and not just describe his factual history. I wanted to bring about the aspects of his life that made him special.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1548264144314{margin-top: 40px !important;margin-bottom: 40px !important;}”]My grandfather was, indisputably, the most captivating individual of my family\u2019s forebears. What was his legacy? First of all, the best and most enthralling stories that are an integral part of the family\u2019s backbone. I\u2019ll begin with his origin.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]His grandparents, Rev. \u00c1lvaro Reis, a Presbyterian minister, and Maria Reis, didn\u2019t have children. In one of his many missionary travels, in 19XX he was acquainted with a couple, stricken by yellow fever, that had seven children. He returned to Rio with his household extended by seven. One of the siblings was Dona Sara, J\u00falio\u2019s mother. Later she had six children of her own. Rev. \u00c1lvaro and Mariquinhas (Maria\u2019s nickname) brought one home, to lessen his daughter\u2019s burden. So, it was that my grandfather was raised by his grandparents.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1548264432442{margin-top: 115px !important;}”]I was so very much impressed by this story in my early years! And this episode was just one of many. These were the stories and examples that forged us as a family. J\u00falio de Oliveira was a prolific musician and composer. Most of his original work was of sacred nature. He left us over 50 compositions on sheets, tapes and books.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1548264503254{margin-top: 40px !important;}”]His history as a composer is entwined with the history of the choir at the Presbyterian Cathedral in Rio de Janeiro (Cola Canuto R\u00e9gis), the first Presbyterian temple in Brazil. He was the congregation\u2019s organist for many years. His compositions and arrangements had a unique harmonic structure and an impressive melodic wealth that touch deep into the hearts and soul of his audience.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1548264562158{margin-top: 40px !important;}”]This site is meant to preserve his memory and legacy. I\u2019m certain he would very much appreciate the effort. It is also and foremost a tribute and acknowledgement to my mother. She has perpetuated his legacy as a pianist at the Presbyterian Cathedral for the last seventy plus years. Her chords and nuances remember J\u00falio\u2019s approach to the music he had so much passion for. As much as my grandfather was the most captivating character of the family, my mom is, by far, the most kind and special member of our clan. To her I dedicate this site. How lucky I am to be part of such a family!
