Abstract

This paper presents the 20th century first half orchestral scores gathered in the Fundação Gregório de Mattos’ archives in Salvador, Bahia. Furthermore, critical analysis of some orchestral scores in its historical context helps us to demonstrate about the importance of the orchestral business activity in the city of Salvador at that time.
