1922 Rio Nights Sheet Music Antique Roaring Twenties | Etsy
Rio Nights "The Dreamiest of Dreamy Waltzes" captivated the listeners and samba dancers of the roaring twenties "Jazz Age", and following this time period musical genres were derived from samba including the lyrical fusion of samba and jazz...the ever so beautiful "bossa nova". Samba is a Brazilian dance and musical genre originating in Bahia, Brazil, and with its roots in Rio de Janeiro it is recognized around the world as a symbol of Brazil and the Brazilian Carnival. Considered one of the most popular Brazilian cultural expressions, samba has become an icon of Brazilian national identity...and romantic "Rio Nights" take us away on a journey through time to a Brazilian paradise...or better yet, a dreamworld in which the "dreamiest of dreamy waltzes" seduces our inner passion for romance and beauty from a bygone era. ♩♪♫♬ When night has fallen down in dear old Rio, Down in dreamy old Brazil... The stars begin to shine, and one that I call mine, Just waits for me, I know she loves me still...♩♪♫♬ Making a thoughtful souvenir gift for a traveler of Brazil who spent beautiful nights in Rio, this breathtaking 1922 "Rio Nights" sheet music would look stunning framed and hanging in your tropical sunroom, bossa nova lounge, or exotic, erotic boudoir! ♩♪♫♬ Rio nights are full of silent splendor, When the tropic moon is in the sky, I keep growing fonder, Every time I wander, with a maid who is so sweet and shy... Romantic Rio weaves a spell around you...♩♪♫♬ In excellent vintage condition for its very old age this 1922 Rio Nights Dreamy Waltz sheet music, with words by Elmer Vincent and music by Fisher Thomson, amazingly shows very few signs of wear! The vibrantly colored cover has faint natural patina staining that is hardly noticeable unless closely examined in the light. There is also some light edge and corner wear which can easily be hidden once placed in a picture frame. There was once a tiny price written in pencil on the Brazilian beauty's arm on the front cover, I have since erased it and now only remnants remain which are hard to see...what is left may continue to be removable, yet fortunately it is difficult so see unless looked at closely. The back cover (seen in the second image) depicts a stunning ornate, art nouveau style framing of what looks like Brazilian goddesses in a dark navy print. This back cover has similar signs of light wear like the cover, but fortunately nothing too substantial. Inside, the sheet music pages are in great condition with mainly just edge wear and some faint areas of creasing to the corners as well as tiny rips in the page edges...this is not very noticeable and can easily go unseen once framed. The binding of this antique sheet music has held up nicely over the years and is still quite sturdy. There are some light areas of faint natural patina staining inside this piece, but also not very detectible. Lastly, you may have noticed in some of the beginning images the edges look cropped out, this is only because this 1922 Rio Nights piece of sheet music was a little larger than my scanner so I was not able to get the full image...so please keep this in mind. ***Please Note: The last two images show two similar antique music sheets that are found in our shop and sister shop; the first one is titled "My Little Girl" and is a 1915 Ragtime music ballad and it can be admired further here in our sister shop Storybook Artifact (and thus is not included in this listing): https://www.etsy.com/listing/154649095/1915-ragtime-sheet-music-rare-original?ref=shop_home_active ...the last image shows a 1921 sheet music piece from our shop which can be found here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/154954316/1921-sweetheart-sheet-music-roaring?ref=shop_home_active
