SUMMARY:

This work is a contribution to the revival of four songs by the Rio de Janeiro-born composer Ernani

Braga (1888-1948): "Saudade," "Manha," "Tristesse de la Lune," and "La Cloche Felee." The scores

for these pieces are part of the digital collection of Hermelindo Castello Branco (1922-1996), made

available by the Instituto Piano Brasileiro (IPB). Widely recognized for his harmonizations of

Brazilian folk music, which achieved international acclaim, Ernani Braga belongs to the second

generation of nationalist composers. In addition to his famous cycle of northeastern songs, Braga

composed works with texts by prominent Brazilian and foreign poets, such as Charles Baudelaire,

many of which have remained obscure despite their evident artistic quality. To revive the performance

of this repertoire, this research drew upon historical musicology, employing techniques such as

bibliographic surveys, literature reviews, and documentary research on the composer. This process

culminated in an interpretive, autoethnographic study focused on the performance of these four songs.

Furthermore, the research has an eminently practical focus, including the transcription and editing of

the scores for these songs, as well as the creation of transposed versions. The aim is to facilitate the

performance of this repertoire and to provide a modern edition that accommodates various vocal

ranges. The work also offers an interpretive analysis of the pieces, emphasizing the development of

interpretive tools to assist singers and pianists interested in performing these four songs.
