Nuno Graceliano Lino was a personality that stood out in Madeiran music, although there are few references about this musician. The few biographical data now known emanates from the ‘Madeira Daily News’ of February 16th 1929, on the news of his death. It is reported that Nuno Graceliano Lino was "a distinguished musician and distinguished piano professor and orchestra conductor." The author goes on to say "Besides being appreciated as a composer," he was "organizer of almost all the orchestras which were heard in aristocratic halls and major ceremonies of the diocese" of Funchal. One of the most important moments of Nuno Lino’s musical life happened during the visit of King D. Carlos I and Queen D. Amélia to Madeira in 1901. On this royal trip, Nuno had the honour of leading the orchestra that played in one of the most important moments of the Portuguese kings’ stay: the grand gala at Quinta Vigia. The choice of this musician to lead the orchestra in this dance is proof of the enormous prestige that the musician would then enjoy in Madeira. In this dance, according to a description of the time, the musician did not disappoint, as we can confirm from the following: "The welcome ball that continued until four o’clock in the morning, always lively and brilliant, to the sound of a magnificent orchestra lead superbly by Mr. Nuno Graceliano Lino, leaving all the guests with memories that will last for a long time, as a delicious dream, until then, never dreamed." We know that Nuno Lino was organist at the Cathedral and also know that the Symphony of St. Cecilia, a piece he composed for string orchestra with flute and organ had some prominence in the diocese of Funchal over several decades and proves his high level as a musical composer. The musician left us with a repertoire of music for piano, among which stands out the suite of waltz’s “Maderoise”, that he offered to the Queen D. Amélia, during her visit to Madeira.
