A REALIZAÇÃO MUSICAL DE OBRAS CROSSOVER: REFERENCIAIS DE REPERTÓRIO E ESTUDOS DE CASO

Abstract

At first, this dissertation intends to stablish the relevance or irrelevance of the dichotomy in classifying music in classic, concert or erudite, as opposed to those more popular or commercial kinds, under the perspective of distinguishing music execution methods in both fields. Secondly, out of the classification, we bring to the table the subject of realization procedures. In a first, looking at a general perspective from the repertoire, and after this, giving emphasis in a specific work, which is turned to the main subject in the study. As a parameters stablisher reference, we took the Ernani Aguiar’s Sinfonietta Seconda, a symphonic work whose music language and instrumentation was all built out of the percussiveness aspects of the famous Brazilian popular music styles from carnival festivals. We gave the name crossover to this blend of styles, a term which has been used in the unformal environment, with the purpose to nominate repertoires in which the two distinct big music fields interchange and interact under reflexive influences. To enrich the argumentation embodiements within this “new” literature, we collect different point of views from experimented conductors who have been working in this fusion. In the end, we set the music realization and execution considering the convergent or divergent aspects raised from the interviews. We analized the peculiar building process of an unique music construction, which is a medley of songs into one single work. We were determined to check, by music and textual points of view, the distinctive elements in the creation, compilation, conducting and directing of the Abertura Medley Sescanção 2011, a twenty-minute plus duration peace of music, which I was requested for conceiving and realizing it for the release of Sescanção 2011 album event. The concert was part of an event which had been happening in two years cicles in the city of Aracaju, with the porpuse of fomenting and stimulating local new and old artists creativity, in a aptempt to display a picture from the local popular music scenario. The piece, which was commited to assembly instrumentation from both classic and popular fields, should unite fragments of all the selected songs into an unity effect. All the creation and realization process of this concert needed to evoke both composition and conducting skills and habilities. In the end, we believe to be offering to the academy, a distinctive look over an equally distinctive piece, tumbling down aestetic and stylistic barriers, and opening up new music quality standarts.
