Estratégias composicionais na obra vocal de compositores integrantes do madrigal da UFBA

Abstract

This work aims to investigate the compositional processes related to the writing of vocal music, specially from the point of view of phoneme usage as a protagonist tool in the development of compositional processes in the work of composers that were, at some point, members of the Madrigal Choir of UFBA. The use of phonetic and phonological resources, influenced by the advances in the field of linguistics, were used as tools by composers, with a great awakening in the middle of the 20th century around the world. The UFBA Music School was part of this creative context through its composers and the Madrigal, whose interpretative competence fostered a significant amount of voice compositions. However, the process of choosing phonemes as a compositional determinant has not been fully contemplated due to the unsatisfactory quantity of studies about the theme. This work, therefore, aims to give its contribution to the subject, so that we may begin to solve this gap in vocal music studies.
