The purpose of this research is to present an analysis of the work Santos Football Music by Brazilian composer Gilberto Mendes (1922 - 2016), in addition to an auto-ethnographic narrative about the preparation of the work and the paths used from the conductor's perspective. The methodology of this work involves searching and researching bibliographic material about the composer and his work, as well as interviews with personalities linked to the composer. A narrative will be made of my experience as conductor of the group, which was used for the final execution of the researched work. This document is separated into four parts, the first chapter will cover the composer's biography, his compositional methods with the use of scenic and electro-acoustic elements. The second chapter will provide a detailed analysis of the work Santos Football Music. In the third we will find an autoethnographic description of the work carried out, and finally in the fourth chapter questions related to the conducting of the work.
