Chiquinha Gonzaga, Brazilian Musical Trailblazer A CHIQUINHA GONZAGA, BRAZILIAN MUSICAL TRAILBLAZER A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS by Silvanio Reis May 2019 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Joyce Lindorff, Advisory Chair, Department of Keyboard Studies Dr. Charles Abramovic, Department of Keyboard Studies Dr. Cynthia Folio, Department of Music Studies Dr. Lindsay Weightman, External Reader, Department of Music Studies ii © Copyright 2019 by Silvanio Reis All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Previous literature on the life and music of the Brazilian composer Francisca Edwiges Neves Gonzaga (1847-1935) reveals her as a historical figure of cultural and musical significance. Her contributions to society include political leadership in Brazilian campaigns for the abolition of slavery and artistic copyright. She also became the first female conductor in Brazil and shaped the music of Carnaval as it is known today in Brazil. However, her music is not well-known outside of Brazil, and her piano music has not received the attention that it merits. In addition to a closer look at her compositions for piano, this monograph offers biographical and musical details of Gonzaga’s unique career, including her role as a female composer amidst a patriarchal society; her pioneering synthesis of traditional Brazilian and European classical style, and a discussion of her place among her better-known Brazilian contemporaries, Ernesto Nazareth and Heitor Villa-Lobos. The last chapter presents interviews with living musicians—a pianist, a traditional folk artist and a musicologist—who have each continued the traditions of Gonzaga’s music to the present day. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost I would like to thank God, who have always provided everything I need to continue my journey. I would like to express my deep appreciation to my advisor, Dr. Joyce Lindorff, who has mentored me. She has supported and encouraged me during this dissertation, as well as my growth as a music scholar. Her astonishing musical craftsmanship has influenced and shaped the way that I approach music profoundly. Her advice on both research and career has been invaluable. I gratefully acknowledge my dissertation committee members, Drs. Charles Abramovic, Cynthia Folio and Lindsay Weightman for serving as my committee. Their insightful comments and suggestions made my defense a very enjoyable experience. I am particularly grateful to Dr. Charles Abramovic, whose musicianship and teaching have inspired me every day. His extraordinary musical talent as well as his love and respect for music have had a deep impact on me. I would like to express my gratitude to Professor Maria Del Pico Taylor who has been a wonderful mentor. I appreciate her encouragement, teaching, prayers and genuine friendship throughout my studies at Temple University. Her incomparable musical gift, love for teaching and compassion to everyone around her influenced me immensely. I would like to thank all my previous piano professors who offered their best during my early musical education: Drs. Sergio Gallo and Mauricy Martin, Prof. Phillip Thomson, Ms. Rosana Bertan, Ms. Regina Barbosa Marques and Ms. Roberta Ferreira. A special thanks to Dr. Evandro Domingues, Dr. Helga Engel Domingues, Ms. Elizabeth Bergner, Mr. Tato Fischer, Mr. Celso Egreja, Mr. Olair de Almeida and his v wife, Ms. Rosali Luzia Ferrari. I would not have accomplished what I have if it were not for your love and support during my childhood and adolescence in Brazil. A very special thanks to my family: My father, Gumercindo dos Reis; my mother, Lúcia Maria dos Santos Reis; my siblings Marilene, Rosângela, Wagner, Rosirene, and Edna; my nieces and nephews Grasielly, Camila, Bianca, Rodrigo and João Pedro. Their unconditional love and ceaseless support encourage me every day. I would like to extend my gratitude to the Branovacki, Elliot, LaMastra, Keiter, Locken and Das families. I am sincerely thankful for all their love and support throughout the past ten years. Finally, I would like to thank the Boyer College of Music and Dance and the music faculty for providing a wonderful educational support system. In addition, I would like to thank all my dear friends and students who have shared their lives with me and inspire me every day. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT……………………………………………………………………………...iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS………………………………………………………………iv LIST OF TABLES………………………………..…………………………………….viii LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS…..……………..…………………………………………..ix LIST OF EXAMPLES…………………………………………………………………….x CHAPTER 1.

  • It Happened in Montevideo a Look at a Hoard of Rolls from Uruguay
    30 It Happened in Montevideo A look at a hoard of rolls from Uruguay As all collectors know, from time to time something crops up that is quite unexpected and different from anything you’ve seen before. This is certainly the case with a collection of rolls recently imported into the UK from Montevideo in Uruguay, a saga that took a good three years. Earlier articles looking at South America have shown it was a market where pretty well anything was imported, so the majority of rolls are from familiar American, British and German companies. Most are 88-note but with plenty of Artrio-Angelus reproducing rolls, as well as Recordo and QRS Automatic expression rolls – the latter offering more basic expression than reproducing pianos, a type of instrument rarely seen in the UK. The mixture of music, and the condition of the rolls, suggests that the collection is based around the remaining stock from a closed shop. Maybe this was the importer, and piano dealership, Vittone Hnos (Brothers) whose name appears on some box-top labels. So, what was unexpected? It was the final block of rolls made locally in Montevideo. They are on two different labels, the majority on Victor and a few on GH, the initials of their maker, Gioscia Hnos. Autumn 2010 31 Now, anybody with the slightest interest in old records or gramophones will immediately be asking whether this Victor is the famous gramophone maker, or if the name is just a coincidence. The seller actually referred to them as “RCA Victor”, which seemed so far-fetched that it was dismissed (RCA came into the frame very late in the roll-making era).

  • Chiquinha Gonzaga E O “Forrobodó”: O Choro Da Cidade Nova Eternizou-Se Na História
    18º Congresso Brasileiro de Sociologia 26 a 29 de julho de 2017 Chiquinha Gonzaga e o “Forrobodó”: o choro da Cidade Nova eternizou-se na história por Maristela Rocha Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Sociais Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora Abertura Este trabalho versa sobre a contribuição da compositora, pianista e maestrina carioca Chiquinha Gonzaga (1847/1935) para o teatro musicado no Brasil. O distanci- amento necessário a qualquer pesquisador, neste caso com o fito de contribuir com mais uma abordagem sobre a compositora, aponta desafios constantes, afinal traba- lhamos há mais de duas décadas com a divulgação da vida e obra da musicista. Nosso objetivo primordial é investigar, inclusive como diferencial perante as obras já publica- das sobre a compositora, se, realmente, sua contribuição para o teatro musicado no Brasil pode ser enaltecida no âmbito da qualidade das mesmas naquele tempo-es- paço, ou se a repercussão conquistada foi motivada pela questão de gênero. No que se refere ao enfoque sociológico, essas peças revelam humor paró- dico, repleto de críticas à política e à sociedade dos séculos XIX e XX. Ademais, as peças regionalistas espelham microcosmos de comunidades, cabíveis de investiga- ção e análise. Para este trabalho, no ano em que rememoramos 170 anos de nasci- mento da compositora, escolhemos para análise a burleta “Forrobodó” (1912), com libreto de Luiz Peixoto e Carlos Bettencourt, uma das obras mais conhecidas de Fran- cisca Gonzaga para o teatro musicado. Instiga-nos, pois, tratar da condição feminina da compositora, personagem com postura pertinente à condição de outsider (ELIAS, Norbert & SCOTSON, John L., 1995, 2000; BECKER, 2008) em um campo dominado pelo universo masculino e que, extrapolando os cânones em voga, utilizou do teatro musicado para apresentar a rea- lidade da sociedade carioca – e muito do Brasil - daquele tempo.

  • Samba, Improvisation, and Afro-Politics in 1970S Brazil
    Bocskay, S. Undesired Presences: Samba, Improvisation, and Afro-politics in 1970s Brazil. Latin American Research Review. 2017; 52(1), pp. 64- 78. DOI: https://doi.org/10.25222/larr.71 LITERATURE AND CULTURAL STUDIES Undesired Presences: Samba, Improvisation, and Afro-politics in 1970s Brazil Stephen Bocskay Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, BR [email protected] This article explores the role of the samba subgenre partido alto as a mode of resistance to modernization and the Brazilian military regime’s disfiguration of samba music in the 1970s. This resistance ultimately led a handful of samba musicians to create the Grêmio Recreativo de Arte Negra Escola de Samba Quilombo in 1975. While it is true that Quilombo nurtured Afro-Brazilian music and culture, the author demonstrates that its leader and cofounder, Antônio Candeia Filho, acted as a samba preservationist and a pioneer, referencing music of the African diaspora, but also as someone who drew the line when it came to espousing Pan-Africanism. The aversion to Pan- Africanism in Rio de Janeiro’s samba community heightened in the late 1970s, as Black Soul, among other foreign sounds and cultural presences, was perceived as a threat to the primacy of samba. Este ensaio estuda o papel do subgênero de samba partido-alto na resistência à modernização e à descaracterização do samba durante o regime militar brasileiro na década de 1970. Tal resistência estimulou um bom número de sambistas a fundar o Grêmio Recreativo de Arte Negra Escola de Samba Quilombo em 1975. Embora o Quilombo tenha alimentado a música e a cultura afro-brasileira, o autor demonstra que seu líder e cofundador, Antônio Candeia Filho, atuou como preservacionista e pioneiro do samba —inspirando-se na música da diáspora africana—, mas também como alguém que estabeleceu limites quando se tratava de desposar o pan-africanismo.

Virtually silent, the book “speaks in a low voice to a single person.” Theatre, though, addresses “the thousand or 1,500 people assembled and has its roots in the tribune and the public arena” (Dumas, fils cited in Charle, 2012: 215). The size of this estimate tells us much about the popular reach of this art form on the stages of the major European cities of the nineteenth century – Paris, London, Vienna and Berlin. As the historian Chris- tophe Charle demonstrates in Théâtres en capitales. Naissance de la société du 519, agosto, 2017 agosto, 519, – spectacle à Paris, Berlin, Londres et Vienne, the successful plays of the period spread new social representations far beyond those classes with ready access to lit- erature. Novels with print runs of around 100,000 copies only appeared towards the end of the nineteenth century. But plays performed more than a hundred times to large audiences had been frequent since the 1850s. The growing inter- est in the theatre was manifested on all sides: from the increasingly diversified public to the writers striving to make a name and some money as playwrights, accompanied by the swelling influx of would-be actors and directors.

  • As Origens Sociais Do Choro: Da Segunda Metade Do Século Xix Ao Início Do Século Xx (1870-1920)
    AS ORIGENS SOCIAIS DO CHORO: DA SEGUNDA METADE DO SÉCULO XIX AO INÍCIO DO SÉCULO XX (1870-1920) Caio Vinícius Zévola Orru Graduado em História (FIRA – Faculdades Integradas Regionais de Avaré) [email protected] RESUMO Utilizando o método do materialismo cultural de Raymond Williams, este trabalho tem por objetivo buscar as origens do Choro. Analisaremos as contradições nos campos políticos, sociais e econômicas no Brasil do século XIX até o início do XX, que determinaram os rumos da cultura brasileira, visando-se contribuir para o debate acerca da formação do Choro, situando nosso recorte entre o período de 1870 até os anos de 1920, basilar para o desenvolvimento do gênero. O seu surgimento junto à classe média baixa no Rio de Janeiro, representados pelos primeiros operários das fábricas e os pequenos comerciantes, foram decisivos na formação social do gênero musical, visto que seu processo caminha ao lado da formação do Brasil como República. Como edificador do gênero musical, Pixinguinha foi o primeiro a mesclar percussão junto as orquestras eruditas. Assim, poderemos compreender o choro como a primeira música urbana brasileira, reflexo da pressão das bases econômicas sobre a superestrutura; sua formação perpendicular aos avanços das forças produtivas no Brasil; sua gênese nas classes populares; e a estilização do gênero musical posteriormente, fato que o torna de difícil acesso para as massas e o aparta de sua formação inicial. Palavras Chave: Choro, Origens, Cultura 1.INTRODUÇÃO Choro, primeiro gênero musical brasileiro tipicamente urbano. Quando falamos no gênero, logo pensamos em Pixinguinha, Jacob do Bandolim, Waldir Azevedo, Chiquinha Gonzaga, Ernesto Nazareth. Músicas amplamente conhecidas e de presença constante na história do brasileiro, como “Tico-tico no fubá” e “Carinhoso”, são exemplos de um choro naturalmente popular, formado por uma miscelânea de gêneros musicais que acabaram por formatar um só gênero no início do século XX.
