A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE on MUSICA POPULAR a Thesis A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ON MUSICA POPULAR A thesis submitted to the faculty of San Francisco State University 5^? ^ In partial fulfillment of > the requirements for ' ^ ^ the Degree Master of Arts In Music: Music History by Joseph Medeiros, III San Francisco, California May 8, 2018 Copyright by Joseph Medeiros, III 2018 CERTIFICATION OF APPROVAL I certify that I have read A Historical Perspective On Musica Popular, by Joseph Medeiros, III, and that in my opinion this work meets the criteria for approving a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree Master of Arts in Music: Music History at San Francisco State University. Ph.D.odirzadeh, Ph.D.odirzadeh, Professor, Music A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ON MUSICA POPULAR Joseph Medeiros, III San Francisco, California 2018 This thesis offers a multi-faceted understanding of Musica Popular, or Popular Portuguese Music, with perspectives ranging from the historical to personal, and conceptual. I take the position that three primary musical elements are responsible for the development of the Musica Popular sound - fado, folkloric, and marching band music. To demonstrate this, important artists and pieces within the genre are studied, along with a musical autoethnography of the production process of my own music, as a Musica Popular artist. This thesis concludes with a research model for popular music studies in general, and Musica Popular in particular, emphasizing hybridization as a force that appears to contribute to further development of this vital cultural music. I certify that the Abstract is a correct representation of the content of this thesis. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my parents/family for all the support they have given me throughout the years with my music. Also, my profound appreciation goes to Dr. Hafez Modirzadeh, for his invaluable encouragement and support over these last few years, as well as Dr. Paul Ellison, and Dr. Benjamin Sabey, for being on my committee. I would also like to thank Jorge Ferreira, Ricardo Farias, Anabela Silva, Jose Luis da Silva, and Helio Beirao, for their permission to be interviewed and for giving such generous insight and advice. Lastly, I would like to thank God for giving me such a love for music and for granting me the opportunity to advance Portuguese culture, language, and music. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter One - Introduction....................................................................................................1 The Historical Perspective - Genres and Artists......................................................1 The Personal Perspective - A Musical Autoethnography...................................... 4 The Conceptual Perspective - A Research Model.................................................. 5 Chapter Two - A Brief History of Musica Popular.............................................................7 Fado............................................................................................................................ 8 Folkloric Traditions..................................................................................................11 Marching Band Music............................................................................................. 17 Chapter Three - Artistic Development.............................................................................. 21 Amalia Rodrigues.................................................................................................... 21 Roberto Leal.............................................................................................................24 Jorge Ferreira...........................................................................................................26 Tiro Liro Comparison of Artists’ Renditions........................................................ 29 Marching Band Influence........................................................................................34 Chapter Four - A Musical Autoethnography.....................................................................37 Personal Preface...................................................................................................... 37 Production Process..................................................................................................42 Production Practice for Bailinho and Vira............................................................ 43 Production Practice for Marcha............................................................................. 46 Lyrical Content........................................................................................................ 47 TABLE OF CONTENTS CONTINUED Chapter Five - Conclusion..................................................................................................48 Research Model....................................................................................................... 50 Final Thoughts on Hybridization........................................................................... 52 Bibliography......................................................................................................................... 56 LIST OF FIGURES 1.

Having been brought up in a mixed household, speaking both Portuguese and English, I found both traditional and popular Portuguese music to always be present at home. Whether my enthusiastic ears were absorbing my father’s band rehearsals in the garage, or the blaring sounds of Portuguese radio on weekends when all our windows were open for our “Saturday Morning Housecleaning,” Portuguese Popular music (referred to from here on as Musica Popular) has been a staple presence for my family, as well as probably most every other Portuguese family in America. Being introduced to these sounds at such a young age made me discover a passion that has truly sparked a desire to maintain these sounds and enhance them for a modem era. Musica Popular, for the purposes of this study then, is to be considered from three interrelated perspectives: historical, personal, and conceptual. The Historical Perspective - Genres and Artists Musica Popular has been an intrinsic part of Portuguese communities for decades, with different generations expanding the genre and allowing for new musical artists to enter and broadcast their own sound. I believe this unique style of music to be rooted in three traditional sub-genres within Portugal: fado, marching band, and folkloric music, along with an additional external influence of modem pop music. \ 2 Chapter Two involves an in-depth look into the history of these three musical styles, which on their own, are still widely admired, having stood the test of time. What I am proposing here though, is that fado, marching band, and folkloric music, although independent of each other, are the most important elements which, together, make what we are accustomed to hearing in Musica Popular today. For instance, fado contains some of the same melismas that both old and new Musica Popular artists continually use. Likewise, the melodic style of Portuguese folkloric music is commonplace, originating from a traditional instrumentation that includes the concertina, cavaquinho, castanets, and acoustic guitars. These traditional sounds, along with the powerful horn parts from marching band music, are taken from their roots and incorporated with modem instrumentation and rhythmic patterns to form the Musica Popular sound. The essence of Musica Popular is in the simplicity of its catchy melodies, infectious dance rhythms, and lyrical storytelling. Compositions

    VIOLA BRASILEIRA, QUAL DELAS? BRAZILIAN VIOLA, WHICH ONE? André Moraes Universidade de São Paulo [email protected] Resumo No Brasil existem diversos instrumentos de cordas dedilhadas que são denominados viola, muitas vezes referindo-se ao mesmo instrumento, porém com nomes diferentes: viola caipira, viola sertaneja, viola cabocla, viola nordestina, viola de festa, viola de feira, viola de fandango, viola de folia, viola de dez cordas, viola brasileira. Para uma possível classificação hierárquica dos termos e dos instrumentos, buscamos a contribuição do campo da ciência da informação, sobretudo a terminologia. O estudo da ciência da informação nos revelou diversas possibilidades de representação e organização para um determinado domínio.

  • EAE – Programa De VIOLA DE ARAME
    ENSINO ARTÍSTICO ESPECIALIZADO PROGRAMA DE VIOLA DE ARAME UNIÃO EUROPEIA REGIÃO AUTÓNOMA DA MADEIRA Fundo Social Europeu Ensino Artístico Especializado Curso Básico e Secundário de Música Programa da disciplina de Viola de Arame INTRODUÇÃO - Cordofones Madeirenses (braguinha/machete, rajão e viola de arame) Os instrumentos musicais utilizados no arquipélago da Madeira foram, na sua maior parte, introduzidos pelos primeiros colonos. É o caso da viola de arame, da braguinha ou machete, da rabeca ou violino, da harmónica, do bombo, do reque-reque, do pandeiro ou das tréculas. No entanto, segundo alguns autores, existem instrumentos populares que podemos considerar como característicos do arquipélago da Madeira, nomeadamente as castanholas, o brinquinho, o rajão, o braguinha e a viola d'arame, que adotaram características próprias, nomeadamente a forma de construção a afinação e as técnicas de execução. Os cordofones desempenham um importante papel na música de tradição popular madeirense. Utilizados em ambas as ilhas do arquipélago, na ilha do Porto Santo ganharam maior expressão, pela sua exclusividade, já que era apenas ao som de cordofones que se tocavam as peças mais antigas daquela ilha. No entanto, na ilha da Madeira e sem comparação com a atualidade (2013), os cordofones tiveram a sua apoteose mais concretamente no séc. XIX, onde vários músicos e compositores da época se dedicaram à prática e composição nestes instrumentos. Já em meados do séc. XIX, as práticas musicais decorriam também nas ruas da cidade do Funchal, onde a música e os cordofones tradicionais se faziam ouvir, nomeadamente o braguinha/machete: Among the instruments which bear a prominent part in concerts and serenades, is the machete.

  • “Nós Pimba!”: Reflexão Em Torno Das Apropriações E Dos Juízos Sobre Um Estilo Musical Estigmatizado Tiago José Lemos M
    Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação XXXIV Congresso Brasileiro de Ciências da Comunicação – Recife, PE – 2 a 6 de setembro de 2011 “Nós pimba!”: reflexão em torno das apropriações e dos juízos sobre um estilo musical estigmatizado 1 Tiago José Lemos Monteiro2 Universidade Federal Fluminense, Niterói, RJ RESUMO Este artigo aborda uma vertente da música popular portuguesa contemporânea – o pimba – que tende a ser ignorada ou mesmo desprezada por acadêmicos, jornalistas e fatias consideráveis do público consumidor, embora constitua um objeto riquíssimo para fomentar reflexões sobre identidade, tradição e modernidade aqui ou Além-Mar. Neste paper, apresento as matrizes culturais a partir das quais o pimba se configurou, as dinâmicas de legitimação que embasam os modos pelos quais é recebido,bem como um esboço teórico-metodológico para um estudo dos usos e apropriações deste estilo ou rótulo musical. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Música Portuguesa. Música pimba. Música popular massiva. 1. Considerações iniciais Rapazes da vida airada oiçam bem com atenção Todos temos o dever de dar às nossas mulheres carinho e afeição (...) E se elas querem um abraço e um beijinho Nós pimba, nós pimba (“Pimba, pimba”, Emanuel) Em 2008, um filme português com duração aproximada de duas horas e meia, metade documentário metalinguístico, metade ficção improvisada, e na qual os respectivos protagonistas só aparecem em definitivo por volta dos 90 minutos de projeção conseguiu arrebanhar cerca de 20 mil espectadores3 em seu país de origem durante os meses em que permaneceu em cartaz, marca admirável em se tratando de uma obra cinematográfica sem pretensões de se converter em blockbuster.

  • A Estratégia Digital Da Rádio Pública Portuguesa / from DAB Failure To
    Observatorio (OBS*) Journal, vol.7 - nº2 (2013), 161-181 1646-5954/ERC123483/2013 161 Do insucesso do DAB à expansão online: a estratégia digital da rádio pública portuguesa From DAB failure to internet expansion: the Portuguese public service radio's digital strategy Sílvio Correia Santos* *Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal Resumo Na década de 90, poucas dúvidas pareciam existir acerca do futuro da rádio na Europa. O Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) era apresentado como o standard que iria definir o futuro digital da rádio. Porém, em Portugal, tal como noutros países europeus, o DAB foi incapaz de cumprir as expectativas que se geraram à sua volta e acabou por ser preterido. A estratégia digital de muitas estações virou- se para a internet. Este artigo analisa o caso particular da rádio de Serviço Público (SP) em Portugal, para explicar o insucesso do DAB e a aposta na expansão online. Neste contexto, são explorados os principais argumentos em torno do mais provável cenário futuro da rádio: a convivência de plataformas, incluindo a transmissão analógica. No âmbito específico do SP, são ainda abordados os desafios particulares da transição para a era digital, particularmente, a legitimidade do desenvolvimento online e a inexistência de formas de avaliação do impacto dessa expansão no mercado. No domínio da produção, este artigo destaca uma mudança de paradigma que consiste na valorização atual do conteúdo radiofónico separado do fluxo tradicional da rádio. Palavras-chave: rádio, DAB, internet, serviço público, Portugal Abstract There were no doubts about the success of Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) in the 90's. DAB seemed to be the obvious choice to replace the analogue broadcast in Europe.

  • Music, City, Ethnicity: Exploring Music Scenes in Lisbon Jorge De La Barre*
    LA BARRE, Jorge de (2010), “Music, city, ethnicity: exploring musical scenes in Lisbon”, in CÔRTE-REAL, Maria de São José (ed.), Migrações Journal - Special Issue Music and Migra- tion, October 2010, no. 7, Lisbon: ACIDI, pp. 139-156 Music, city, ethnicity: exploring music scenes in Lisbon Jorge de La Barre* Abstract This paper discusses the various ways in which music and cities interact, in a context of increased inter-connectedness betwe- en the local and the global. On the premises of the existence of a so-called ‘global culture’, cities tend to reinvent themselves by promoting various (and eventually competing) self-definitions. In the case of Lisbon, this tendency is accompanied by a seemingly increased desire to connect (or re-connect) with the Lusophone world, eventually informing Lisbon’s self-images as an inclusive and multicultural city. In this process, new forms of ethnicity may gain visibility in the marketing of Luso-world music (or world mu- sic as practiced in the Portuguese-speaking countries). At the ho- rizon of imagined cities as ‘transcultural megacities’, music tends to gain agency in the promotion of senses of place and belonging, in and to the city.

  • Estimating Employer Labour-Market Power and Its Wage Effects
    Making their own weather? Estimating employer labour-market power and its wage effects∗ Pedro S. Martinsy Queen Mary University of London & NovaSBE & IZA & GLO December 30, 2019 Abstract The subdued wage growth observed over the last years in many countries has spurred renewed interest in monopsony views of the labour market. This paper is one of the first to measure the extent and robustness of employer labour-market power and its wage implications exploiting comprehensive matched employer-employee data. We find average (employment-weighted) Herfindhal indices of 800 to 1,100; and that less than 9% of workers are exposed to concentration levels thought to raise market power concerns. However, these figures can increase significantly with different methodological choices. Finally, when controlling for both worker and firm heterogeneity and instrumenting for concentration, wages are found to be negatively affected by employer concentration, with elasticities of around -1.5%.
