The Four Portuguese Songs I were made as part of Vasco Alves musical project titled d'Roda no Ar. The scores of these songs are gathered in this book to serve as a basic reference for musical interpretation and pedagogy. For this purpose, these musical arrangements include musical elements such as form, melody, harmony, other musical elements and the lyrics of each song. The first song has the title of "Contigo ao Pé de Mim" and represents a romance situation on a summer night. "A Minha Vida" is the second musical arrangement that portrays the young spirit in a summer setting. Contrasting with previous songs, "Lembranças" refers to the melancholy of a past love. Finally, "Não Quero Saber" is a critical reflection on the bad feelings that move the actions of certain people.
