More than 100 years after her birth and nearly a quarter of a century after her physical departure, Amália Rodrigues is still as beloved as she is enigmatic. Her estate contains over 800 scores by different composers, of various nationalities and genders, although she repeatedly stated that she knew nothing about music and only sang because of the voice with which God had blessed her. Her house at 193 Rua de São Bento in Lisbon was well-known for its many musical and social gatherings frequented by some of the leading national and international figures from the world of music, which may be why so many musical scores are to be found at the home of someone who could not read music. The collection of scores is surprising for its diversity. The aim of this study is to present the estate from a musicological perspective. The intention is to analyse the scores according to musical style, to list the signed copies and to examine their relevance. It should also be possible to establish parallels between the scores and the biographical and artistic chronology of the fadista, thereby providing previously unpublished data for the study of Amália Rodrigues.
