Full textAbstract:
In this study I will attempt to demonstrate that stylistic and compositional features and a non-traditional approach to form in the orchestral output of composer Silvestre Revueltas contributed to the development of a nationalist school in Mexico in the twentieth century. In the paper, I present a biographical sketch of Silvestre Revueltas (1899-1940), as there is little available printed information in English concerning the life and work of this composer who is acknowledged to be one of the most significant figures in the history of music in Mexico. I also address the cultural, artistic, and philosophical influences that shaped the cultural world in Mexico in the first quarter of the twentieth century, and their influence on Revueltas and his music.The heart of the paper is an overview of certain compositional and stylistic features in the music of Silvestre Revueltas, followed by observations on structural elements in two of his symphonic works: Janitzio and AlcancÃas. The document concludes with a brief summary of the influence of Revueltas on some of the contemporary composers of his time and on the musical life in Mexico and the United States in the first half of the twentieth century. I have also included in this document a chronological list of works and a substantial list of bibliographic references.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis surveys musical culture's relationship with Irish nationalism after the Irish confederacy's rebellion in 1848 until the beginning of the Northern Irish Troubles in 1972. It is the first such study to engage with a wide range of source material, including not only songs but also sources generated by political actors and organisations. It thus asks how far music and dance contributed to political movements and identities. It demonstrates that music provided propaganda, while performances created spectacles that attracted attention and asserted the strength, territorial claims, and military credentials of particular movements. Nationalists and unionists appropriated music and musical rituals from history, Britain, and one another. Appropriated British army rituals represented paramilitaries as legitimate national armies. Recycling songs made compositions easier to learn and suggested that new organisations acted as part of a continuous, historical movement. Appropriating songs and rituals from opponents asserted superiority over those opponents. Songs marked national allegiance and were therefore fought over extensively. For theorists and revivalists, defining Irish music and dance constructed notions of Irish nationhood. However, this thesis is as much about qualifying the claims often made for musical culture. One result of the failure to engage comprehensively with extra-musical source material is that studies often crudely credit music with having inspired unity among Irishmen and resistance against the colonial ruler. Music's relationship with resistance was more nuanced, and could cultivate disunity as much as the opposite. This study also problematises distinctions between British, unionist, and nationalist culture. These were not discrete categories, but overlapping soundscapes that interacted with and penetrated one another. Nor is 'traditional' music neatly distinguished from 'modern', 'commercial' music. As this study explains, traditional music's advocates demonstrated a consistent willingness to adapt and engage with modern methods. Overall, this thesis provides unprecedented insight into music's impact on nationalist politics.

Full textAbstract:
The story of Jamaican music is also one of the island's journey from independence, the rise of nationalism and changes in its political structure in the Cold War era. Reggae as a popular form, developed in the context of Jamaica's history of colonialism and slavery, as well as the island's development as an independent nation within the African Diaspora. Michael Manley's policy of democratic socialism leading to U.S. intervention to destabilize his government in the mid-1970s and the installation of the pro-American Edward Seaga, in 1980, led to considerable changes in Jamaican political culture and nationalism. Inextricable from changes in the nation's political culture, however, were changes in its popular culture, namely, the transition in popular music from reggae to what became known as "dancehall." The history of reggae and the rise of dancehall in the period from 1974 to 1984 this thesis argues, was integral to the transformation of Jamaican nationalism and politics in the decades following independence.

Full textAbstract:
La presente tesis doctoral se propone a hacer un paralelo entre el nacionalismo musical brasileño y español a través de la comparación entre el pensamiento estético de Felip Pedrell y Mário de Andrade y sus propuestas para una música nacional artística. Como guía principal para nuestra investigación nos inclinamos sobre las teorías puestas en los libros-manifiestos Por Nuestra Mú-sica y Ensaio sobre a música brasileira, de Pedrell y Andrade respectivamente, que se converti-rían en un modelo de partida para los compositores interesados en crear una obra nacional. Además del estudio de los contextos históricos y estéticos de Pedrell y Andrade, en esta tesis doctoral se hizo un estudio de sus estéticas propias y de las propuestas para la música nacional de ambos países basándose en textos de autoría de ambos protagonistas.
La investigación se plantea a demostrar las semejanzas y divergencias entre las propuestas es-téticas para la construcción de esta música con carácter nacional en España y Brasil elaboradas por Pedrell y Andrade. El paralelo entre la escuela nacionalista musical brasileña y la española se justifica por el hecho de que los compositores más relevantes no fueron los que elaboraron el contenido estético que permearía sus obras, sino que siguieron la orientación de un mismo men-tor. Por sus labores en pro de la música nacional y por su preocupación en señalar un lenguaje musical artístico, Pedrell y Andrade se transformarían en los mentores para sus compatriotas y compartirían un mismo ideal: construir y establecer una escuela musical nacional capaz de unir a los artistas y el público en favor de la valoración de la identidad cultural, perfeccionar y promover esta música artística autóctona para que alcanzase el respeto y la admiración para fuera de sus fronteras.This doctoral thesis is meant to do a parallelism between the Brazilian and the Spanish musical nationalism through the comparison between the rhetorical thinking of Felip Pedrell and Mário de Andrade and their proposals for an artistic national music. As the main guide for our investigation we tend towards the theories proposed in the books-manifestos Por nuestra música y Ensaio sobre a música brasileira, of Pedrell and Andrade respectively, who would become a prototype for composers interested in creating a national work. Besides the study of the historical and esthetic contexts of Pedrell and Andrade, in this doctoral thesis we made a study of their own esthetics and the proposals for the national music from each country, based on texts written by both protagonists. This investigation contemplates to demonstrate the similarities and differences between the esthetical proposals for the construction of this music with a national character in Spain and Brazil, made by Pedrell and Andrade. The parallelism between the Spanish and Brazilian national musical school is justified by the fact that the most relevant composers were not the ones who elaborated the esthetical content that would permeate their works, but they followed the directions from the same mentor. Thanks to their labors in support of the national music and to their preoccupation for signaling an artistic musical language, Pedrell and Andrade would become mentors to their countrymen and they would share the same ideal: to build and establish a national musical school capable of uniting the artists and the public in favor of the cultural identity appreciation, perfectioning and promoting this native artistic music to reach the respect and admiration outside the country borders.

Full textAbstract:
The life and career of American composer Elie Siegmeister (1909-1991) spanned most of the Twentieth century. His music provides a unique voice in classical music of the United States. With an acute awareness of social issues, Siegmeister desired for his music to communicate with audiences. His love of American folk music, blues, and jazz contributed to his distinct compositional style, first overtly with lyrical folksong-like melodies in the 1940s before becoming sublimated into a dissonant idiom by the 1960s. This thesis provides a survey of the change in Elie Siegmeister’s compositional style, specifically the years between 1940 and 1970. I provide an overview of Siegmeister’s entire compositional career in Chapter One. Chapter Two finds Siegmeister’s involvement with folk music coalescing into a lyrical and tonal style during the 1940s. With Chapter Three, I reveal pivotal events that urged Siegmeister to concentrate on form and thematic development during the 1950s. In Chapter Four I look at the 1960s as a synthesis of his past compositional styles.

Neste trabalho, analiso o Segundo Concerto para Piano e Orquestra (1946) de Camargo Guarnieri (1907-1993) tendo como pano de fundo uma contextualização sobre o nacionalismo e o neoclassicismo na obra de Guarnieri. Se, por um lado, o nacionalismo oriundo dos movimentos modernistas vinculava-se a uma proposta de "normalização dos caracteres étnicos permanentes da musicalidade brasileira" (Neves, 1981), também visava à inserção do país em um contexto mundial (Travassos, 1999), proposta refletida na adoção de uma estética musical neoclássica. Em minha análise, identifico no Segundo Concerto reflexos do ideário formado em torno desse nacionalismo e vinculações estéticas com as tendências da música produzida internacionalmente.In this work, I present an analysis of Camargo Guarnieri's Segundo Concerto para Piano e Orquestra (1946) taking into account the manifestations of the nationalistic and neoclassical trends in the work of this composer. If, on the one hand, the nationalism steemed from Brazilian early twentieth-century modernists movements aimed to "normalize the permanent ethnical characteristics of the brazilian musicality" (Neves, 1981), on the other hand it also aspired to integrate the country in a global context (Travassos, 1999), a goal which can be detected in the influence of neoclassical aesthetics. In my analysis of the Segundo Concerto, elements which can be traced to the ideas and proposals of the nacionalismo modernista are identified, as well as aesthetical links with the international music trends.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that Symphony No. 1 in F major, Op.
17, by Zdeněk Fibich embodies musical style features associated with both Czech and
German composers of the nineteenth century. The identification of these style features is
accomplished by comparing and contrasting Fibich's Symphony No. 1 in F major with
works by other prominent Czech and German composers whose music was performed
and well-known at the time. Particular emphasis is placed on the aural similarities
between Fibich's first symphony and that of other composers' works in an effort to show
Fibich's unique hybrid compositional style.
A second area of focus is the rise in European nationalism during the latter half of
the nineteenth century. Due to Fibich's mixed Czech and German heritage, nationalism is
explored in order to ascertain what effect, if any, nationalistic bias might have had on the
overall reception of Fibich's music and the composer's ability to have his music
performed during his lifetime.

Destacam-se na biografia de Villa-Lobos, as viagens que fez pelo Brasil, a recolha de música tradicional que empreendeu, depois assumida como fonte de inspiração e fomento para a criação da sua própria obra. Num Brasil em profundas transformações políticas e sociais, Villa-Lobos surge conotado com o regime ditatorial de Getúlio Vargas, o que lhe permitiu implementar o seu projeto de educação musical do país, tema deste trabalho
; ### ABSTRACT:
This essay concerns the analysis of Heitor Villa-Lobos’ role in Brazil’s music education at school level in the first half of the twentieth century. It aims at the understanding of his ideals and accomplishments regarding the transformation of his country in that matter. The historical, social and political context, of which we find evidence in his writings and patriotic songs, helps one towards a better comprehension of his objectives, reasonings and the achieved results, with special focus on the contemporary nationalistic ideology.
From Villa-Lobos’ biography it is germane to highlight his travels throughout Brazil, from where he gathered folk music that later inspired the composer in the creation of his own work. In a scenario of profound political and social changes, Villa-Lobos’ is seen to be close to Getúlio Vargas’ dictatorial regime, a situation that allowed the composer to implement his music education project and that this essay refers to.

Este trabalho tem como objetos de estudo a terceira fase estética do compositor César Guerra-Peixe, fase nacional (1949-1993) e a obra para piano nela inserida. Buscou-se estabelecer relações entre esta fase estética e as obras nela situadas com a busca pela renovação do nacionalismo musical pelo compositor Guerra- Peixe. No estabelecimento dessas relações o ponto de partida foi a divisão da fase nacional em períodos, aos quais foram relacionadas uma ou mais obras para piano. Tendo como referencial teórico o pensamento do próprio Guerra-Peixe, cada período foi descrito dentro de um contexto histórico e musical, e buscou-se a identificação de características da estética de Guerra-Peixe, bem como de sua linguagem composicional em constante renovação. As características levantadas subsidiaram a análise das obras selecionadas para cada período. Através da análise estabeleceu-se a relação entre os períodos da fase nacional, suas respectivas obras e linguagem composicional e a busca pela renovação do nacionalismo musical pelo compositor Guerra-Peixe.This dissertation aims to study the piano works present in the third aesthetic phase (1949-1993) of Brazilian composer Cesar Guerra-Peixe. The study established links between Guerra-Peixe\'s search for renewal of musical nationalism, his third aesthetic compositional phase and the piano works composed during this time. In establishing these relationships, the starting point was the division of the national phase in periods, which were related to one or more piano works. Each period has been described in a historical and musical context, having Guerra-Peixe\'s personal thoughts as the basis for theoretical reference. The features of Guerra-Peixe\'s aesthetics, as well as his compositional language, were identified and supported the analysis of the works selected for each period. The dissertation established the relationship between the periods of the national compositional phase, the corresponding piano works, Guerra-Peixes\'s musical language, and the search for renewal of musical nationalism undertaken by the composer.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis investigates the impact of western art music ('classical') upon the construction of Greek-European identity in the 19th century. Through the examination of institutions such as the Theatre of Athens that hosted the Italian opera for the better part of the 19th century, the Conservatory of Athens (1873), the Conservatory of Thessaloniki (1914), various 19th century literary societies, press content, scores, publications on music, and state regulations on education, the thesis utilizes both musical, as well as extra-musical material to construct a cultural and social history of Greece's understanding of the 'European' in relation to local Greek society through music between 1840 and 1914. At the same time, it highlights the importance of transnational institutional and interpersonal musical networks between Greece and Europe (mainly England, France, and Germany), to demonstrate how political and aesthetic preferences influenced long-term policy, cultural practice, and musical tradition. While examining the 19th century diplomatic, political, and cultural practices of the expanding 19th century Greek Kingdom, the thesis traces the development of western musical taste and practice in Balkan Greece in relation to the local modernizing society. It highlights the importance of local and European artistic agents and networks, identifies the tension between the projection of European identity and raw acoustic divergence, argues for about the contribution of music to the construction of Greek-European identity, and examines the cultural and political negotiations about the conflicting relationship between Byzantine-Hellenic-European-Modern Greek, as expressed through music and debates on music. The last part of the thesis assembles the 19th century material to explain the relationship between nationalism and musical practice at the turn of the 20th century, and as such the long-term influence of western art music upon the construction of Greek-European national identity.

In this thesis I explain how Western art music gained a political, social and cultural role in Colombia during the decades that spanned from 1848 to 1910. This analysis engages the different attributes that Colombian political and cultural leaders of the time ascribed to art music in order to integrate it as part of their projects of Nation and confronts them with what is known about traditional music practices. In doing so, I explain discourses and social practices that developed around and because of the integration of art music to urban life in Colombia during the period of research. The purpose of this analysis is to elucidate the processes and contradictions that characterized the social practice of art music in Colombia as well as the limitations of the implementation of art music as an inclusive practice during the second half of the nineteenth century. This last notion underlies cultural policies implemented during present times and highlights the contradiction between art music as an exclusive social practice and the political discourse about art music as a space for learning democratic republican values.

A presente tese tem por objeto a produção para violão solo de Mozart Camargo Guarnieri (1907 - 1993), que consiste em seis peças: Três Estudos, um Ponteio e duas Valsaschoro. Essas peças, escritas entre 1944 e 1986, são pouco executadas, apesar de terem partido da pena de um compositor central na história da música erudita brasileira. Dessa contradição, deriva a hipótese de que essas obras não teriam relevância dentro da produção do compositor e dentro do repertório violonístico brasileiro. Por esse motivo, a presente tese estuda essas seis peças de Guarnieri com objetivo de compreendê-las dentro do universo estético e da produção do compositor e também em relação ao repertório violonístico brasileiro. A metodologia empregada consistiu na análise estrutural das obras e no confronto dos dados obtidos em tal análise, com os dados encontrados na bibliografia específica a respeito do compositor e do repertório violonístico Brasileiro. Os resultados podem ser resumidos na constatação de que essa pequena produção possui notável elaboração técnica e é representante, no repertório violonístico, de uma das principais correntes estéticas da música erudita brasileira, sendo sua execução, preterida por questões idiomáticas e pela complexidade do discurso guarnieriano.The object of this thesis focuses on a production of six works for guitar solo of Mozart Camargo Guarnieri (1907 - 1993): \"Três Estudos\", one \"Ponteio\" and two \"Valsas-choro\". These pieces, written between 1944 and 1986, are rarely performed, although belongs to a central composer in Brazilian classical music history. This contradiction derives the hypothesis that these works would not have its relevance within the composer´s production or within the Brazilian guitar repertoire. For this reason, the present thesis studies the six works of Guarnieri in order to relate these pieces into the aesthetic universe, the composer´s production and also into the Brazilian guitar repertoire. The methodology applied consists in the structural analysis of these works and the confrontation between the data obtained in such analysis with the material available in the specific bibliography toward the composer and Brazilian guitar repertoire. Results can be summarized in the fact that this small production has remarkable technical drafting in the guitar repertoire and represents one of a major aesthetic movements of Brazilian classical music however it execution was deprecated due to idiomatic aspects and also due to the complexity of the Guarnieri\'s musical language

Different spheres concerning musical creation, consumption and reception will be covered and put in relation in order to have a complex and an in-depth understanding of regionalism and Basque opera within the context of the negotiation of Spanish music. These spheres include: the formation of collective identities (regional and/or national), Franco-Basque/Spanish cultural transfers, social aspects regarding musical practices during the turn-of-the-century period, as well as ideological interferences and aesthetic and identity issues concerning the making of Spanish music. This set of inter-connected topics may help to know the place that Basque opera occupied within the changing environment of Spanish music at the dawn of 20th century.

Resumo: Este trabalho propõe um estudo do nacionalismo musical a partir de uma perspectiva comparativa. As trajetórias e as obras de dois grandes ícones da música do século XX, Heitor Villa-Lobos e Manuel de Falla, identificados como os maiores expoentes do nacionalismo em seus países, dão fundamento a esta comparação. Em primeiro lugar, estudamos como algumas "constâncias" identificadas pelos estudiosos do fenômeno do nacionalismo se manifestaram no Brasil e na Espanha. Em seguida, a partir das trajetórias de nossas duas personagens principais, observamos como os ideais nacionalistas se desenvolvem nesses países, e quais foram as soluções propostas em cada caso para os problemas da criação de uma identidade musical nacional. Nesse sentido, observamos como, à medida em que os ideais nacionalistas ganham contornos mais nítidos, as trajetórias de Villa-Lobos e Falla, que haviam partido de um início de carreira semelhante e que tiveram Paris como uma primeira rota de fuga, vão progressivamente se distanciando. Se Falla, por um lado, para concretizar o seu projeto nacionalista, prefere a reclusão e a atuação nos bastidores do meio musical espanhol, Villa-Lobos, por outro, insere-se no aparato público, comandando um grande programa disciplinador das massas através da doutrina do canto orfeônico. A apreciação musical das obras também nos ajudam a entender as respostas musicais dadas por esses compositores ao problema da criação de uma identidade nacional. Ao longo de suas trajetórias, estas obras ganham novos contornos que finalmente acabam por servir de parâmetros para as gerações seguintes de músicos brasileiros e espanhóis
Abstract: This work comprises a study of musical nationalism from a comparative perspective founded in the careers and works of two icons of 20th-century music, Heitor Villa-Lobos and Manuel de Falla, who are considered the greatest exponents of musical nationalism in their countries. First, it considers how "continuities" of nationalism, as identified by scholars, have manifested themselves in Brazil and Spain. Later, from the career paths of both musicians, it observes how nationalistic ideals developed in the two countries, and what solutions were proposed for the problems put forward by the creation of a national musical identity in each case. In this sense, it notes how, as the nationalistic ideals gained clearer definition, the paths of Villa-Lobos and Falla, who faced similar beginnings to their careers and shared Paris as their first escape, progressed. Whereas Falla, achieved his nationalistic project in reclusion, preferring to remain behind the scenes of the Spanish musical environment, Villa-Lobos inserted himself in the governmental machine, commanding a huge program to discipline the masses through the doctrine of Orpheonic singing. The musical appreciation of their works also helps us understand the musical answers given by those composers to the problem of creating a national identity. Finally, through their careers, these works acquire other features that are useful as parameters for subsequent generations of Brazilian and Spanish musicians

A presente tese analisa a emergência da modernidade musical brasileira entre os anos 1889 e 1914. Analisa os discursos que a historiografia panorâmica tradicional brasileira construiu sobre a música de concerto daquele período, e analisa os discursos produzidos na própria época. Verifica que as iniciativas de atualização técnica e estilística da música de concerto respondiam a uma política oficial de modernização das artes, que tinha a Europa como modelo de civilização. Verifica também que a cultura das elites republicanas utilizava a prática da música de concerto como um mecanismo de distinção social. Conclui que as interações entre as concepções elitistas sobre música, as teorias raciais, o evolucionismo, e o cosmopolitismo legitimavam práticas culturais excludentes, reafirmando hierarquias sociais. Tais interações resultaram no aprofundamento do abismo entre a música de concerto e o público, na afirmação de hierarquias entre gêneros musicais, na valorização da noção de autonomia da obra musical e na manutenção dos vínculos com a música europeia, impedindo o surgimento de movimentos de vanguarda musical contra hegemônicos no Brasil no início do século XX.This thesis analyzes the emergence of Brazilian musical modernity between the years 1889 and 1914. It analyzes the discourses that the Brazilian traditional panoramic historiography has elaborated about art music of that period, and analyzes the discourses produced at the time. It notes that the initiatives for the technical and stylistic art music\'s updating have risen in response to an official politics of modernization of fine arts, which had Europe as a model of civilization. It also notes that the culture of the Republican elites has used the practice of art music as a mechanism of social distinction. It concludes that the interactions between elitist conceptions about music, racial theories, evolutionism, and cosmopolitanism have legitimized exclusionary cultural practices, reaffirming social hierarchies. These interactions have resulted in a deepening gap between art music and the public, in the affirmation of hierarchies between musical genres, in the valorization of autonomy\'s notion of the musical work and in the maintenance of links with European music, preventing the emergence of vanguard movements counter-hegemonic in Brazil in the early twentieth Century.

Este trabalho trata de questões relativas à análise de proporções, de seu possível papel como elemento organizador das estruturas do discurso musical e de sua relação com a coerência deste discurso, investigando os elementos responsáveis pelo estabelecimento de coesão e coerência entre as peças do conjunto dos dez Improvisos para piano, de Camargo Guarnieri. A partir da análise da obra, buscou-se estabelecer uma relação entre a possível presença de elementos proporcionais e os processos composicionais relacionados à improvisação. As dez peças do conjunto de Improvisos foram investigadas em relação às proporções existentes entre as partes componentes dentro de uma mesma peça (intraopus) e em todas as peças do conjunto (extraopus), a partir de duas abordagens: a) diretamente da partitura (proporção espacial) e b) a partir de gravação (proporção temporal). Após análise estrutural, foi aplicado o sistema de proporções proposto por Charles Madden – em relação à Seção Áurea e Seção Áurea Secundária – e as razões de meio, terço e dois terços, propostas por Elizabeth Rangel. Como resultado, percebe-se a preferência pela organização em proporções simples (meio, terço e dois terços); nenhum dos improvisos atingiu a margem necessária de aproximação da Seção Áurea e da Seção Áurea Secundária (0,1 a 1%) e os elementos de coesão configuram-se através da distribuição e organização seqüencial das peças no conjunto e da citação e referenciação de configurações melódicas e harmônicas. Ainda como parte dos questionamentos apresentados, apresenta-se a sugestão para futuros trabalhos de que a proporcionalidade, indiretamente apreendida como forma, possa talvez estabelecer coerência na proporção a partir da estrutura formal, o que, se vier a ser confirmado, pode ajudar a compreender a proporcionalidade como origem histórica da forma, como elemento gerador do processo de organização formal e estrutural.

Full textAbstract:
À partir des années 1890, la construction de l’identité nationale américaine et d’un citoyen moderne mobilise différentes définitions de la notion de folk music, issues de différents milieux intellectuels et fondées sur une multiplication des collectes, pour culminer à la fin du New Deal en l’établissement d’un consensus sur l’existence et le contenu de base de l'American Folk Music. Compositeurs et musicologues construisent l’American Folk Music pour tenter de fonder une école de composition américaine qui rivaliserait avec les écoles européennes. Les folkloristes universitaires l’abordent en tant qu’objet d’étude, selon une approche textualiste et donc nécessairement anglo-centrée. Des anthropologues se saisissent aussi de cette notion pour l'appliquer aux musiques amérindiennes, puis à celles des Noirs-Américains. Avec les psychologues, ils y introduisent les influences des approches évolutionniste, diffusionniste, fonctionnaliste et relativiste. Éducateurs progressistes et travailleurs sociaux l’emploieront dans des projets d’ingénierie sociale, notamment en relation avec le mouvement d'américanisation. Tous ces paradigmes coexistent et s’opposent ou s’influencent jusque dans les années 1930, moment où l’institutionnalisation de l’American Folk Music au sein de l’État fédéral conduit à une rencontre et une forme de synthèse de toutes ces approches. Cette thèse explore les travaux des inventeurs de l’American Folk Music autour du parcours d’une des collectrices qui établissent la synthèse new-dealienne, Sidney RobertsonFrom the 1890's on, the construction of American national identity and of the modern citizen draws on various definitions of the notion of folk music, produced by various intellectual circles and supported by the development of field collecting, to result towards the end of the New Deal Era in a tentative consensus on the basic content and the very existence of American Folk Music. Composers and musicologists address American Folk Music as a tool to try and set up an American composition school to rival the european ones. Academic folklorists approach it as a scholarly object through a text-centered paradigm requiring its linguistic anglo-centeredness. Anthropologists apply the notion to Amerindian, then later on Black-American musics. Along with the psychologists, they introduce in its definition the new concepts and bias of the competing evolutionist, diffusionist, functionalist and relativist theoretical schools. Progressive educators and social workers use it in their social engineering programs, most importantly in the Americanization-related ones.These various paradigms coexist, compete, and influence each other until the 1930's, when the institutionalization of American Folk Music inside Federal State agencies encourages a synthesis of these different approaches. The present thesis aims to describe the works and ideas of these various contributors to the invention of the American Folk Music through the study of the life and career of one of the New Deal collectors instrumental in this synthesis, Sidney Robertson

This dissertation presents a study of Brazilian composer Ary Barroso and his role in musical nationalism in Brazil. It seeks to understand how Ary Barroso expressed his national identity in his musical compositions. To achieve this end, a reflection is carried out about the phenomenon of nationalism in its theoretical foundations, thus seeking to understand the important role of music for the nationalist ideological purposes. This is followed by a discussion of the course of nationalism in Brazilian music, in which Ary Barroso played a considerable role. This can be verified both by the repercussion his work had and continues to have, judging by the public s reception and by the exposition of the composer s biographical aspects, in which, especially because of the content of his statements, his nationalist motivations are perceptible. Finally, a musical and contextual analytical approach to his musical production is employed to identify and describe the ingredients used by the composer to express, through musical form, aspects of a nation and the national feeling

Em seguida, aborda-se a trajetória do nacionalismo na música brasileira, na qual Ary Barroso teve uma considerável atuação, averiguável tanto através da maneira como sua obra repercutiu e ainda repercute em sua recepção pelo público, como pela exposição de aspectos biográficos do compositor nos quais, principalmente pelo teor de suas declarações, são perceptíveis suas motivações nacionalistas. Por fim, através de uma abordagem analítica musical e contextual de sua produção musical, são identificados e descritos os ingredientes usados pelo compositor para expressar musicalmente aspectos da nação e o sentimento nacional

A partir da análise comparada do repertório de recitais para piano, apresentados em jornais da cidade de São Paulo nos anos 1925, 1935, 1945, 1955 e 1965, tentamos identificar qual era o gosto musical da época no que concerne ao piano, objetivando também qual era o espaço ocupado pelos compositores nacionais nestes recitais. Em consequência, foi possível perceber a presença de um grupo de compositores e pianistas nacionais nesses recitais tendo Mário de Andrade como mentor intelectual do grupo. Os dados levantados sugerem que a frequência desses compositores não superou em nenhum momento um terço do repertório no período, o que nos leva a conjecturar que o compositor nacional ocupava um lugar marginal na cena musical erudita da época.From the comparative analysis of the repertoire of piano recitals, found in the newspapers of the city of São Paulo during the years of 1925, 1935, 1945, 1955 and 1965, we tried to identify what was the kind of musical taste of that age, concerning the pieces for piano. We also tried to figure out what was the space occupied by national composers in these recitals. Consequently, it was possible to notice the presence of a group of composers and pianists having Mário de Andrade as the master mind of them. The collected data suggests that the frequency of these composers did not exceed, at any time, one third of the repertoire in that period, which leads us to conjecture that the national composer occupied a marginal place in the classical music scene of that epoch.

Ce travail envisage les appropriations musicales et discursives du jazz dans le monde musical savant français. Fondé sur la méthode des transferts culturels, il propose une histoire croisée de la musique savante française, de la diffusion des répertoires de jazz en Europe et de leur perception. La réflexion s’appuie sur un corpus systématique des œuvres savantes influencées le jazz et des textes que lui consacrent compositeurs et critiques. La réflexion se fonde sur l’établissement d’un corpus systématique des œuvres savantes influencées le jazz et des textes que lui consacrent compositeurs et critiques. Une analyse informée par des données issues de l’esthétique et de l’histoire culturelle montre que ces œuvres contribuèrent à différentes entreprises de redéfinition d’une identité française de la musique. Les appropriations du jazz remettent également en cause une conception de la musique populaire propre au XIXe siècle. Elles valorisent des sujets auparavant considérés comme triviaux et proposent un son nouveau, tantôt associé au modernisme mécaniste des États-Unis, tantôt à l’énergie débridée attribuée au primitivisme nègre. Enfin, elles participent à la remise au goût du jour d’un classicisme protéiforme. Ces différents aspects font l’objet d’une périodisation et d’une thématisation. Si les premiers cake-walks des années 1900 sont mis au service d’un exotisme « nègre », les emprunts au jazz à la fin des années 1910 relèvent d’un geste avant-gardiste au service d’un projet nationaliste de rétablissement de l’identité française de la musique. À partir du milieu des années 1920, suite aux efforts fructueux de Jean Wiéner pour légitimer le jazz aux yeux du monde musical savant, un discours spécialisé émerge. De nouveaux compositeurs s’y intéressent, dans la perspective d’un classicisme désormais plus cosmopolite. Tout en faisant émerger différents paradigmes de l’appropriation du jazz (cocteauiste, stravinskien, ravélien, entre autres), ce travail vise à jeter un éclairage nouveau sur la production musicale savante dans la France de l’entre-deux-guerres et sur les rencontres entre différentes traditions musicales.
This thesis deals with the musical and discursive appropriations of jazz in the French musical world. Inspired the approach of cultural transfers and crosses the history of French art music in France and the history of its diffusion and perception in Europe. To do so, it draws upon a corpus of art music pieces influenced by jazz and of texts written by composers and critics. This corpus contributes to different redefinitions of an alleged French musical identity. What is more, appropriations of jazz renew a conception of popular music that goes back to the beginning of the 19th century. They also valorize topics previously considered as trivial, and they display a new kind of sound, evoking Anglo-saxon modernism or « negro » primitivism. The different aspects mentionned above are presented in a chronological and thematic fashion. In the 1900s, the first cake-walks contribute to a tradition of « negro » exoticsm. Ten years after, borrowing to jazz has become an avant-gardist gesture, and a response to nationalist motivations. Thanks to Jean Wiéner’s efforts in order to legitimize jazz, a new group of composers and critics take an interest in it. Jazz then becomes a means to assert a more cosmopolitan classicism. This thesis identifies different paradigms of the appropriation of jazz in France. More broadly, it sheds new light on musical creation in the French art music world between 1900-1930, and on musical encounters between different musical traditions.

Este trabalho procura oferecer uma nova narrativa biográfica para o compositor de São Paulo e crítico musical do Correio Paulistano Alexandre Levy (1864-1892). Procurou-se assim atenuar a imagem construída para o compositor pelas obras tradicionais da historiografia musical brasileira, que são marcadas fortemente por uma perspectiva nacionalista. Assumiuse como pressuposto do trabalho uma clara explicitação metodológica e axiológica. Enquanto método, recorreu-se à interdisciplinaridade como recurso importante para a solução dos impasses e ambigüidades que se apresentaram. Essa tarefa foi alcançada através da aproximação concreta com a história cultural através de seus temas e reflexões. Utilizou-se como fontes primárias um conjunto de 17 artigos de Levy, assinados sob pseudônimo de Figarote. Entre as outras fontes, destacam-se ainda obras da historiografia da cultura e musicológicas. Este trabalho apresenta como resultado uma imagem de certo modo nova para Alexandre Levy. Constatou-se a modernidade do compositor, não reconhecível em trabalhos anteriores. Pode-se verificar a proximidade de Levy com os demais intelectuais da belle époque brasileira, período de engajamento intelectual, de preocupações modernizadoras, de interesse pelo instrumental cientificista, e também de perspectiva naturalista.The purpose of this dissertation is to offer a new biographical narrative for the São Paulo composer and musical critic of Correio Paulistano Alexandre Levy (1864-1892). Therefore, one attempted to attenuate the image created for the composer by the traditional works of the Brazilian musical historiography, which are strongly noticeable by a nationalist perspective. It was assumed as a premise of the paper a clear methodological and axiological explicitness. In terms of method, one resorted to interdisciplinarity as an important resource for the solution of the deadlocks and ambiguities presented. This task was reached through the concrete approximation with cultural history through its subjects and reflections. One used as primary sources an ensemble of 17 articles by Levy, signed under the pseudonym of Figarote. In addition, works of the historiography of culture and musicology were employed as sources. This paper is presented as the result of an image, in a certain way, new to Alexandre Levy. It corroborates the modernity of the composer, not identifiable in previous papers. One may conclude on Levys proximity with the other intellectuals of the Brazilian belle époque, a period of intellectual involvement, modernizing concerns, interest for the scientific instrumental and also naturalist perspective.

Full textAbstract:
In the centuries since the colonization of the New World, the people of Cuba created a strong musical tradition. Initially, their music mirrored the European composition canons of structural, melodic and harmonic order. The eventual confluence of its distinct cultural elements (i.e. the European, African, and, to a lesser extent, Amerindian) led to the emergence of a new, distinctly Cuban musical tradition.
The wars for independence that began in the United States and Europe in the eighteenth century created a surge towards political and cultural autonomy that swept across the Latin American colonies, generating a wave of nationalism during the nineteenth century. After finally gaining its independence in 1902, Cuba sought to define itself as a nation. Cubans looked inward to their regional folklore—their indigenous and popular traditions—for the source of their national identity, a trend that became of primary interest to Cuban artists. The nationalist trend found full musical expression during the twentieth century, when composers turned to folklore for their inspiration in creating new art music (works for the concert hall) with a unique sound and vitality.
This study concerns itself with the Cuban nationalist movement and its role in the creation of art music by twentieth-century Cuban composers, most specifically that of Mario Abril. The monograph is organized into three general sections: the first section (Chapters 2 and 3) identifies the significant characteristics of nationalism, describes the manifestation of some relevant nationalist movements (e.g., in Europe and Latin America), and explores the manifestation of the nationalist movement in Cuba. The second section (Chapters 4 and 5) provides a history of Cuban art music, concluding with a biographical sketch of composer Mario Abril. The third part (Chapters 6 and 7)consists of a study of the music, beginning with a description of the pertinent characteristics of Cuban popular music, followed by an examination Mario Abril’s Fantasía (Introduction and Pachanga) for clarinet and piano. The document concludes with remarks about the characteristics that qualify the work as an example of Cuban nationalist art music with suggestions for the study and interpretation of the work.

Through the mapping of a dialogue between his musical production and his other intellectual investments, we discuss the extent to which Luciano Gallet\' musical creation accompanies or reflect the ideals of art and education that guided his life, and propose a contribution to the understanding of the transition through which his work passed such a from a Gallic aesthetic until its insertion and contribution to the crystallization of the Brazilian nationalist modernist movement in music.

Full textAbstract:
Mario Lavista (b.1943) is widely acknowledged as one of Mexico's foremost living composers. Having acquired his music education in his native Mexico and in Europe alike, he is similar to numerous other Latin composers who were building a career in the latter half of the twentieth century. During this time, composers were relying on international aspects of avant-garde techniques, and using nationalistic Latin rhythms and melodies less. Lavista embraced internationalism, and aimed to compose works devoid of identifiable elements of nationalism. This document argues that the absence of nationalistic elements in Lavista's music has affected his notoriety outside of Mexico. The role of nationalism is assessed through a brief examination of influential Mexican composers and educators prior to 1950, followed by a discussion of education and composition in the latter half of the twentieth century. These aspects are investigated with regard to Lavista's education and resulting compositional style. A theoretical analysis of Cinco Danzas Breves para quinteto de alientos (1994) serves as a representative example of Lavista's compositional style and influence. This document aims to highlight and increase exposure of Mexican composers outside of Latin America who do not compose nationalistic music.

Full textAbstract:
The career of Osvaldo Lacerda (1927-2011) spanned a critical time in the development of Brazilian nationalist music. Though he was an outspoken nationalist composer, he was also influenced by European trends and training. Even within his nationalist compositions, evidence of a shift in style that mirrors the European movements of Modernism and Postmodernism is found in his works. Among his thirty-six chamber works, three are wind quintets, written between 1962 and 1997. Although all three works warrant extended discussion, Variações e Fuga para quinteto de sopros is particularly valuable for studying Lacerda's musical language. It was originally written in 1962. However, Lacerda made significant revisions in 1994, completely rewriting and expanding it. Through comparing the 1962 and 1994 versions of Variações e Fuga and analyzing the significant differences between the two, this document aims show that even with his strong stance as a Brazilian nationalist composer, Lacerda was clearly influenced by the movements of the broader music world. Examples from his other two woodwind quintets, Quinteto de sopro and Suíte pra cinco, written in 1988 and 1997 respectively, help to support the idea that this change in his musical language was not an anomaly, but rather a true evolution of style impacted by his own culture and that of the classical music world around him.

Resumo: O presente trabalho visa debater tanto a busca pela nacionalização da música a partir de elementos folclóricos da cultura brasileira empreendida por Mário de Andrade, quanto o "Americanismo Musical" do alemão naturalizado uruguaio Franz Kurt Lange/Francisco Curt Lange que pregava uma integração cultural do continente a partir desta arte. Ambos os intelectuais lançam mão de uma extensa bibliografia e documentação onde propunham seus ideais musicais que tinham como uma das principais finalidades a emancipação cultural do brasileiro frente à Europa, para Mário, e a emancipação do cidadão americano, segundo Lange. Para tanto, os dois ocuparão cadeiras administrativas na área cultural e realizarão várias ações que convergem às suas propostas
Abstract: This work aims to discuss both the quest for nationalization of music from folk elements of Brazilian culture undertaken by Mário de Andrade, as well as the "musical americanism" of the german naturalized uruguayan Franz Kurt Lange / Francisco Curt Lange who preached a cultural integration of the continent by means of this form of art. Both intellectuals created an extensive bibliography and documentation with proposed musical ideals which had as one of the main purposes the cultural emancipation of brazilian, according to Mario, and the emancipation of the american citizen, according to Lange. To do so, both occupy administrative chairs in the cultural area and carry out various actions which converge on their proposals

Full textAbstract:
Henrique Oswald (Rio de Janeiro, 1852 - idem, 1931), est l'un des plus grands compositeurs brésiliens de son temps. Doté d'un talent et d'une habilité technique exceptionnels, il est l'auteur d'une vaste production qui touche à plusieurs genres. Ce travail aborde deux aspects fondamentaux pour son étude. Le premier dénonce le préjugé imposé par la tradition musicologique de son pays, qui tendait à dévaloriser l'œuvre de compositeurs du XIXe siècle qui, tout comme Oswald, sont restés attachés à un langage à forte influence européenne. Ce procès fait à Oswald est dû à l'épanouissement du nationalisme musical, tendance qui est devenue hégémonique pendant les années 1920. Pour les nationalistes, toute forme d'art européanisée devait être rejetée en faveur d'une autre, reflétant les particularités du peuple brésilien. Ce jugement, portant sur ce compositeur est inadéquat, puisque la société brésilienne à laquelle il appartenait, était encore fortement influencée par la culture européenne. De plus, il faut souligner qu'il a vécu près de la moitié de sa vie en Italie, pays où il a complété ses études musicales. Une fois étudiée la façon dont s'est déroulée la cristallisation de ce préjugé au sein de la musicologie brésilienne, la seconde partie du travail propose une analyse, de la forme, du langage et du style du compositeur à travers son œuvre de musique de chambre avec piano, partie la plus importante de sa production. On constate alors qu’Oswald est un compositeur aux traits classiques, dont le langage et le style évoluent d'une sphère à influence allemande, proche de Mendelssohn et Schumann, vers une autre, plutôt française, dont les modèles sont Franck, Fauré et Debussy. Ce travail constitue donc une tentative de réévaluation de l'œuvre de ce compositeur, qui mérite d'être redécouvert en dehors de la perspective nationaliste imposée par la musicologie brésilienne traditionnelle.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse appréhende les processus identitaires et les transformations socioculturelles en cours au travers de l’appropriation du rap au Gabon depuis la fin des années 1980, ainsi que l’enchevêtrement de ces productions de catégories identitaires avec des rapports de pouvoir campés dans le domaine des hiérarchies entre aînés et cadets, des relations de genre, des stratifications des réseaux de la musique, ou des rapports de force avec les autorités politiques. Une investigation dans les archives du Gabon éclaire d’abord la manière dont, tout en marquant des ruptures avec la génération précédente, les rappeurs se sont inscrits dans la continuité de plusieurs décennies de pratiques de musiques dans la ville et de dialogues transnationaux avec les productions culturelles en circulation dans l’espace Atlantique. Une deuxième partie se consacre à la description des relations de genre et de la construction de la masculinité, révélant l’agentivité développée par certaines femmes des mondes de la nuit et de la musique. Enfin, une troisième partie se focalise sur les revendications identitaires et idéologiques des rappeurs et sur les nationalismes qu’ils réinventent, dans des emboîtements entre l’ethnique, le national, le panafricanisme et le transnational. Elle traite des métamorphoses de la sorcellerie dans les réseaux du rap et de la world music africaine, du spectacle de la nation, et des mobilités transnationales au travers desquelles quelques rappeurs forment de nouvelles catégories identitaires hybridesThis dissertation apprehends the identity processes and sociocultural changes taking place through the appropriation of rap music in Gabon since the end of the 80s, as well as the entanglement in power relations of those identity categories produced by young people, in the field of hierarchies between elders and youngers, of gender relations, of musical network stratifications, or towards the political authorities.An investigation in the archives of Gabon firstly highlights how, while marking ruptures with the previous generation, rappers were enrolled in the continuity of several decades of urban musical practices and transnational dialogues with some cultural productions circulating in the Atlantic space. A second part is devoted to the description of gender relations and to the construction of masculinity, revealing the agency developed by some women into the urban worlds of the night and of music. Finally, the third part focuses on rappers’ identity and ideological claims, and on the nationalisms they reinvent in negotiation between ethnic, national, transnational and panafrican levels. It deals with the transformations of witchcraft in rap music’s networks and in African world music market, with the spectacle of the nation and with transnational mobilities through which some rappers form new hybrid identity categories

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse présente un aperçu de la vie musicale beyrouthine au début du XXème siècle, tout en suivant les conséquences de l'effondrement de l'Empire ottoman et la mise en place du mandat français, ainsi que l’arrivé et l’essor de nouvelles technologies, qui changèrent et affectèrent le divertissement et les loisirs à Beyrouth. Le but est de dévoiler le type de musique qui prévalait à l'époque, les chanteurs célèbres et les lieux de productions musicales, en se focalisant sur les changements survenus sur la scène musicale dans les lieux de consommation, de socialité et de distribution de la musique conçue désormais comme une nouvelle forme de marchandise. Le travail se base également sur une étude des débats intellectuels sur la musique et la critique musicale dans la presse de l’époque, ainsi qu’une analyse des textes de plusieurs enregistrements de l’époque. Une lecture de la façon dont les transformations sociales et politiques au début du 20ème siècle à Beyrouth affecta et créa de nouvelles formes de divertissement, d'expressions et de productions musicales, nous permet de comprendre le rôle de la musique dans la création d'une identité et d'un certain discours national dans le nouvel État du Grand-LibanThis dissertation offers a glimpse into early 20th century Beirut’s musical life by unveiling the type of music that prevailed at the time, the famous singers, the places of singing. It follows the ways in which the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the arrival of the French mandate changed and affected entertainment and leisure in Beirut, by focusing on its evolving musical scene, as it manifested in changing places of consumption, sociality and the distribution of music as a new form of commodity. It does that by studying expert, lay and intellectual debates on music and music criticism in this period, as they emerged in in the press. Moreover, this dissertation looks at how new developments in technologies affected music at the beginning of the 20th century by focusing on how the evolution of the record industry imposed and produced new forms of expressions, of music, and new places of entertainment. A reading of how the social and political transformations in early 20th century Beirut affected and created new forms of entertainment, leisure, musical expressions and commodities allows us to understand the role of music in making a national identity and discourse in the newly established State of Greater Lebanon

Full textAbstract:
Le présent travail se concentre sur la documentation du maloya. En effet, il est apparu que les informations disponibles à son sujet ne remplissaient pas les attentes que l'on est en droit de formuler à l'égard d'une pratique inscrite depuis octobre 2009 sur la liste représentative du patrimoine immatériel mondial définie par l'UNESCO. Après avoir résumé les connaissances disponibles à l'égard du maloya considéré, bien que sous d'autres noms, comme la « musique des Noirs » depuis le début de la colonisation bourbonnaise, nous plongeons dans l'histoire réunionnaise des années 1960-2000. Celle-ci porte la marque de l'opposition idéologique ayant tendu à cliver les insulaires de part et d'autre de la revendication autonomiste vis-à-vis de la France. Le maloya y apparaît des plus malléables et sa contribution à la définition d'une identité réunionnaise contemporaine y est interrogée au fil d'une histoire qu'il nous donne à entendre de manière unique. À partir de notre connaissance du rôle rituel du maloya, nous proposons toutefois de renverser l'approche habituelle pour l'entendre et le penser depuis l'univers sémantique des usagers d'une musique religieuse. Dégageant une typologie des répertoires du maloya ainsi que ses différentes acceptions régionales, ce sont les tendances évolutives de ce dernier qui apparaissent dans notre analyse, démontrant ainsi son rôle dans la créolisation locale. Derrière ces usages sociaux de l'art, c'est aussi la figure du « Noir » (le « Kaf ») que l'on voit ainsi évoluer dans l'île, rappelant et son association au maloya et son caractère déterminant sur le plan culturel insulaireWhereas a reflexive chapter, focused on the progressive immersion we realised among the actors of possessions cults from afro-malagasy origins living in Reunion Island, had been primarly thought to join this thesis, the main effort consists here in the documentation of the maloya. Effectively, an overlook to what's been said of this traditionnal music requiered such a missing work attached to an element recently inscribed on the UNESCO patrimonial list. Resuming the available knowledge about the maloya, which is considered since the early moment of the colonization as the reunionese « Black music », the purpose was to reach the modern era and then underlying the importance of this esthetical practice in the definition of what could be called, under certain conditions, this « kréol identity ». The post-colonial role that played maloya during the years 1960-1970 appears newly as we emphasize his historical implications. We've also been able to relocate the common point of vue already existing of the maloya in scientifical field as well as on the public scene from the musicians and their cultual significations. Analyzing, for example, his four distincts repertories, we open to an original understanding of the past and the present of a creolized culture that had always took music as a fundement of its existence. This work makes also possible the reflexion about the place of the « Kaf » (Reunionneses of black origins) in this cultural construction, and maybe, the one of the afro-descendents and their so-called « black music » in the invention of our new globalized world

Resumo: O objeto desta dissertação é a produção musical do grupo Quarteto Novo registrada no LP homônimo lançado pela gravadora Odeon em 1967. Partindo de análises de fonogramas do disco, verificou-se que o grupo produziu uma linguagem híbrida, operando com elementos musicais regionais, principalmente aqueles identificados com a cultura sertaneja nordestina, articulados a procedimentos de outros gêneros e estilos associados a repertórios cosmopolitas. A investigação partiu de duas hipóteses: a possibilidade do ideário nacional-popular dos anos 60 ter balizado as escolhas estéticas dos músicos, orientando-os na retomada de tradições musicais brasileiras; e a de que a ruptura com o jazz, expressa nos discursos dos músicos, é relativa, uma vez que há sinais evidentes de procedimentos típicos do gênero norte-americano na construção da sonoridade característica do quarteto. O projeto artístico que orientou a produção do referido LP refletiu, na opinião dos próprios músicos, a preocupação com o "nacionalismo musical" e a busca de uma sonoridade "tipicamente brasileira". Tudo isso se traduziu em aspectos de arranjo, instrumentação e improvisação que se remetem às tradições musicais populares. A proposta do Quarteto Novo estava inserida num contexto de grande efervescência política e cultural impulsionada por artistas e intelectuais sintonizados com o que Ridenti definiu como "brasilidade revolucionária", uma construção simbólica que se constituiu numa maneira específica de auto-compreensão do Brasil naqueles anos, com forte conotação utópica. A brasilidade revolucionária serviu de parâmetro para a mobilização de uma geração de intelectuais e artistas que protagonizou uma das mais importantes experiências de arte engajada da história brasileira. Nessa conjuntura, a idealização de um autêntico "homem do povo", com raízes rurais, sertanejas, orientou boa parte da produção artística daqueles anos, da qual o disco Quarteto Novo pode ser considerado um exemplo significativo
Abstract: The object of this work is the musical production of the Brazilian group Quarteto Novo recorded on the homonymous LP released by Odeon in 1967. Based on analysis of phonograms disk has been found that the group produced a hybrid language, working with regional musical elements, especially those identified with the Brazilian Northeastern culture, articulated to techniques from other genres and styles. The investigation started with two assumptions: the possibility of national-popular ideology of the 60 Tues christened the aesthetic choices of the musicians, guiding them in the recovery of Brazilian musical traditions; and that the idea of rupture with jazz, expressed in the speeches of their own musicians, is relative, since there is very clear signs of typical procedures of jazz in the sonority of the Quarteto Novo. The aesthetic project that guides the production of that LP reflected, in the opinion of the musicians themselves, the concern with the "musical nationalism" and the search for a sound "typically Brazilian". All this has translated into aspects of arrangement, instrumentation and improvisation which refer to the popular music traditions. The proposal of the Quarteto Novo was embedded in a context of great political and cultural ferment stimulated by artists and intellectuals in tune with what Ridenti defined as "revolutionary Brazilianness," a symbolic construction that was a specific way of self-understanding of Brazil in those years, with a strong utopian connotation. The "revolutionary Brazilianness" served as a parameter to mobilize a generation of intellectuals and artists who starred in one of the most important experiences of activist art of Brazilian history. At this conjuncture, the idealization of a real "man of the people" with rural roots oriented much of the artistic production of those years, of which the disc Quarteto Novo is one of the most significant examples

Previous issue date: 2011-03-25This research analyzes the orchestration and instrumentation of four pieces that appear within the nationalist school of Brazil, looking for its external influences, creative processes, similarities, differences and particularities. The four works are: Série Brasileira (1888-1896) by Alberto Nepomuceno (1864-1920), Choros nº10 (1926) by Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959), Chôro para Violino e Orquestra by Camargo Guarnieri (1907-1993) and Maracatú do Chico-Rei (1933) by Francisco Mignone (1897-1986). The work‟s orchestration techniques and functions are analyzed through surveys and descriptions of its usages, comparison with other reference works, reflections on their differences and similarities in relation to suggestions of important treatises on the subject. We conclude that composers broke the tradition off and kept it at the same time. They assimilated the popular and classical sources to conceive an anthropophagic music, distorting and adapting the foreign traditional aesthetics and used them in an original manner. This is a Brazilian characteristic, that is pluralist and not exclusivist, a culture formed by cultural hybridism. Therefore, there is not a unique identity in the studied works, but a multiple symphonic identity, characteristic of the Brazilian nationalism.
Este estudo investiga a orquestração e a instrumentação de quatro peças que se figuram dentro da escola nacionalista brasileira, com o objetivo de conhecer as influências externas, os traços criativos, semelhanças e suas particularidades. As quatro obras são: Série Brasileira (1888-1896) de Alberto Nepomuceno (1864-1920), Choros nº10 (1926) de Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959), Chôro para Violino e Orquestra de Camargo Guarnieri (1907-1993) e Maracatú de Chico-Rei (1933) de Francisco Mignone (1897-1986). Neste estudo, as técnicas e funções da orquestração das referidas obras são analisadas por meio de levantamentos e descrições de seus usos, comparações com outras obras de referência e reflexões sobre suas divergências e convergências em relação às sugestões de importantes tratados sobre o assunto. Concluiu-se que os compositores se utilizaram, mesmo em uma única obra, das rupturas e da manutenção da tradição. Beberam de fontes populares e eruditas para gerarem uma música antropofágica, no sentido de assimilar, deformar e adaptar a estética tradicional do exterior, utilizando-a de maneira original. É uma característica do brasileiro que não é exclusivista, mas pluralista, assim como a própria cultura do país, formada por hibridismos culturais. Portanto, nas orquestrações estudadas não há uma identidade única, mas uma múltipla identidade sinfônica, característica do nacionalismo brasileiro.
