REFLECTIONS ON THE WORK “O CAPRÍPEDE CASTANHO” BY COMPOSER DANILO GUANAIS: new interpretative perspectives for armorial music.
Northeastern Brazilian popular culture; O Caprípede Castanho; Composition and Interpretive Practices.
This research aims to understand and approach the aesthetic, compositional and stylistic elements of the work "Caprípede Castanho", VII Movement of the III Grande Sinfonia "Ilumiara" by composer Danilo Guanais (1965), in the aesthetic of Armorial Music. The composer also uses characteristic elements of 20th century music such as Polytonality, Serialism, Minimalism, Polyrhythmia and Asymmetry. Musical genres such as Maracatu and Valsa are present in the work, as well as appropriations, rhythmic and melodic manipulations through variations. In the analysis process, stylistic and aesthetic references are searched with possible interlocutions between the work of Guanais and the present compositional elements, characteristic of Armorial Music. Methodological procedures will be based on the literature review, indication, participant observation of the rehearsals and recital of the work “Caprípede Castanho” with the participation of 13 wind and percussion players. The monitoring process will feature a logbook with the aim of observing, describing and analyzing the interpretive practice, in order to incorporate the aesthetic and stylistic aspects of Armorial Music in the interpretation.
