Más que nunca is a Colombian art song for voice and piano by Jaime León Ferro (1921–2015), setting poetry by Colombian poet Maruja Vieira (1922–2023). The poem is an intimate declaration of love shaped by images of water, bells, trees, jasmine, flowers, birds, mist, and the evening landscape.
Marked Lento, León creates a reflective atmosphere through a sustained lyrical vocal line and a flowing piano accompaniment rich in triplet figures and harmonic movement. As the poem progresses, the natural landscape becomes inseparable from memory and absence, culminating in the declaration “más que nunca te amo.”
The song is an expressive example of Latin American art song, joining Colombian poetry with León’s lyrical and harmonically nuanced writing for voice and piano. This product includes the sheet music for voice and piano.
