Um repertório prístino e seus potenciais genuínos: visões sobre a criação de canções musicopedagógicas infantis brasileiras

Abstract

This research, written within the scope of the Master's Degree in Music Education at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), is part of the works’ set from the Research Group Musicopedagogical Proposal Sing and Dance with Us (PropMpCDG), under the leadership of the Teacher Dr. Helena de Souza Nunes, from the period of 2020 to the present. Motivated by the importance of song composition for, by and with children, this investigation has as its general objective "To identify aspects that trigger new and renewing perspectives, referring to the production of Brazilian musicopedagogical repertoire for children". To this end, three specific objectives were created: "To distinguish aspects of the original repertoire of Brazilian children's songs highlighted in music streaming; To explain differentiated and/or singular aspects of the CDG Songs repertoire; and To contrast in discussion the two previous sets of characteristics". A particularly creative musical period was applied in two distinct contexts: in the popular media repertoire, 30 years before the new millennium, and in the first CDG songs, between the end of the 1980s and the same final date. Although the years of their respective beginnings are not exactly the same, both periods reflect equal "spirit of the time", marked by desires and searches for musical innovation connected to the children. It is understood that this challenge is still far from being overcome. Then, this research explores preferences, systematizing indicators for future directions regarding the educational focus on children's composition. It is an epistemological effort. The methodology used is the Literature and Discography Review, properly verified in the PRISMA Protocol. Data collection and discussion are guided by the topics of the Composition Sheet and the CDG Analysis. The authors train two distinct groups: those belonging to the PropMpCDG Research Group and those who are among the prominent references in the area of specific Music Education Composition. The researchs’ nature is qualitative, with a basic strategic purpose, a general exploratory objective and consistently articulates scientific procedures with each specific objective, all under a large structure of seven chapters. The reached conclusion by comparing two types of repertoire that are different in their contexts but similar in purpose is: the compositional topics found in the pristine repertoire studied, when associated with the permanent attention to the concepts of child and childhood, are aspects that trigger new and renewing visions on the production of Brazilian children's musicpedagogical repertoire.
