SUMMARY:

This work contributes to the revival of four songs by the composer Ernani Braga (1888-1948) from the

state of Rio de Janeiro: "Saudade," "Manhã," "Tristesse de la Lune," and "La Cloche Fêlée." The sheet

music for these works is part of the digital collection of Hermelindo Castello Branco (1922-1996),

made available by the Brazilian Piano Institute (IPB). Widely recognized for his harmonizations of

Brazilian folk music, which gained international recognition, Ernani Braga belongs to the second

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

composed songs with texts by important Brazilian and foreign poets, such as Charles Baudelaire,

many of which remained unknown despite their evident artistic quality. With the aim of reviving the

performance of this repertoire, this research relied on historical musicology, utilizing techniques such

as bibliographic surveys, literature reviews, and documentary research on the composer, culminating

in an interpretive work focused on the performance of the four songs. Furthermore, this research is

eminently practical, including the transcription and editing of the sheet music for these four songs, as

well as the creation of transposed versions, aimed at facilitating the performance of this repertoire and

offering a modern edition that accommodates varied vocal ranges. The work also provides an

interpretative analysis of the pieces, with an emphasis on creating interpretative resources that can

assist singers and pianists interested in performing these four songs.
