ZECA TORRES, A COMPOSER FROM ACRE: POLITICAL AND SOCIAL CONTEXT, MEMORY AND ARRANGEMENTS FOR SOLO GUITAR
Arrangement. Solo Guitar. Memory. Zeca Torres
This research reports the structuring process of four arrangements for guitar by the composer from Acre, José da Costa Torres, also called Zeca Torres. However, for a more in-depth development of this research, other themes were linked, making the arrangement process a biographical, historiographical research with notes on musical memory. In the theoretical basis of the arrangements, we used Almada (2000), Guest (1996), as well as works and academic research, from which we can better understand the universe of a musical arrangement. The themes linked to the formation of the State of Acre, as well as the cities of Xapuri and Rio Branco, in addition to other authors, rely on the writings of Bezerra (2018), Costa (2010), among others. For the author´s biography, we used the work of Nazaré (1998) containing information about the composer and news from newspapers available in Hemeroteca Digital Brasileira. In the notes on musical memory, we rely mainly on the work of Assman (2011), who seeks to demonstrate the places of memory and how they relate to the social environment.
