THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY of AMERICA Celso Garrido-Lecca
THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Celso Garrido-Lecca: Synthesis and Syncretism in Concert Music of the Andes Area (1985-2000) A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Benjamin T. Rome School of Music Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Nelson Niño Washington, D.C. 2011 Celso Garrido-Lecca: Synthesis and Syncretism in Concert Music of the Andes Area (1985-2000) Nelson Niño, Ph.D. Director: George Grayson Wagstaff, Ph.D. The art music of the Andean region, especially the music produced in the last decades of the twentieth century, has been largely neglected by modern scholarship. This situation has generated a profound lack of research not only in relation to the works of specific composers of this area but also comprehensives research projects that allow an understanding of the aesthetics and musical currents in an important number of South American countries. Among a number of prolific composers of the Andean region, Celso Garrido-Lecca (b. 1926) has been chosen as the central focus of this dissertation. His direct contact with two different cultures of the Andean region, Peru and Chile, gave him a unique and interesting world view. Garrido-Lecca after 1985 was able to synthesize his diverse musical experiences in a very personal language. His mature compositional stage, which extends from 1985 to the present, reached its highest point in the year 2000 when the composer was awarded the “Tomás Luis de Victoria” prize. All the compositions of the period 1985-2000 are discussed in this dissertation and four representative pieces are analyzed in detail: Trío para un Nuevo Tiempo (1985), String Quartet No. -
