  • Bachianas Brasileiras No. 1 HEITOR VILLA-LOBOS
    The Dvořák Serenade for Strings always makes me think of the freshness of spring time, with feelings of optimism and amiable associations. The key of E major helps to convey the buoyancy and energy I sense so strongly in this delightful work. ERIC MCCRACKEN, NCS VIOLIN Bachianas Brasileiras No. 1 HEITOR VILLA-LOBOS BORN March 5, 1887, in Rio de Janeiro; died November 17, 1959, in Rio de Janeiro PREMIERE Composed beginning in 1930; first performance September 12, 1932, by the Philharmonia Orchestra of Rio de Janeiro, Walter Burle Marx conducting OVERVIEW Heitor Villa-Lobos was and remains Brazil’s foremost classical composer. His father, an amateur musician, taught him to play the cello and clarinet, and he taught himself to play the guitar. After his father’s death, in 1899, Villa- Lobos began making a living playing guitar and cello in cafés and movie houses. As a composer, he was also mostly self-taught. Between 1905 and 1912 he made numerous expeditions into Brazil’s hinterland to study the music and folklore of the indigenous populations, whose music eventually became the inspiration for much of his own. In this regard, his career mirrored that of European contemporaries Béla Bartók, Zoltan Kodály, and Ralph Vaughan Williams, all of whom studied and incorporated the music of their native countries. In 1918, on a South American tour, pianist Artur Rubinstein “discovered” Villa-Lobos (who was already by then well-known in his native Brazil) and encouraged him to visit Europe “to show his accomplishments.” The European trip finally took place in 1923.

    RAMOS, Marcelo. (2018) Guerra-Peixe’s Symphony No. 2 Brasília (Part 1): A Historical Background. Per Musi. Belo Horizonte: UFMG. p.1- 14. SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE Guerra-Peixe’s Symphony No. 2 Brasília (Part 1): A Historical Background Sinfonia No. 2 Brasília de Guerra-Peixe (Parte 1): Antecedentes Históricos Marcelo Ramos de Souza Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais [email protected] Abstract: This article investigates the historical circunstances that led to the composition of Symphony No. 2 Brasília, by César Guerra-Peixe, written for symphony orchestra, mixed choir and an optional narrator. The piece was originally composed for a competition organized by the Radio Station of Ministry of Education in 1960 to celebrate the inauguration of the new Brazilian capitol, originating substantial controversy, hence the first prize was not awarded and a tie was registered between three candidates in second place: Guerra-Peixe, Guerra-Vicente, and Claudio Santoro – all of them became renowned composers of Brazilian music. The Symphony Brasília by Guerra-Peixe was subject of my doctoral project in three principal fronts: production of a performance edition of the full score and parts; performance of the work in the US and Brazil, aiming to correct eventual mistakes and spread the music; and a production of historical and analytical texts. Keywords: Guerra-Peixe; Symphony No. 2 Brasília; Brazilian music; Brazilian Nationalism. Resumo: O presente artigo aborda as circunstâncias históricas que culminaram com a composição da obra Sinfonia No. 2 Brasília, de César Guerra-Peixe, escrita para orquestra sinfônica, coro misto e um narrador opcional. A obra foi originalmente composta para um concurso organizado pelo MEC em 1960 para celebrar a inauguração da nova capital do Brasil, gerando uma substancial controvérsia, pois, além de não ter sido outorgado o prêmio de primeiro lugar, houve um empate entre três candidatos no segundo lugar: Guerra-Peixe, Guerra-Vicente e Claudio Santoro – todos eles compositores consagrados da música brasileira atual.

In this document, I discuss both composers’ multi-style blend (neo-Baroque/Serialism for Dallapiccola and neo-Baroque/Nationalism for Villa-Lobos) side by side through a close examination of their biographical background and stages of evolution, followed by a theoretical analysis of these two representative works.
