He was a pianist, flutist and conductor. Very active in the popular music scene when he was a teenager, he played flute in choro groups and conducted orchestras. When working on popular music he used the pseudonym of Chico Bororo. After graduating in Brazil he studied in Italy for nine years. He wrote for piano, voice, chamber groups, choirs and orchestras. His compositions are generally divided into three phases: First phase-Italian influenced, second phase-nationalist, and third phase-eclectic, including polytonal and atonal elements. Congada is part of his second phase in which the Brazilian folklore was the source of inspiration. Congada is a dance/processional/dramatic presentation that narrates the story of an African Kingdom in a war to convert non-Christians. In the war the Prince dies and is resurrected. This processional/drama was generally presented by slaves on the streets and used as a way of catechism by the slave owners. For the slaves, it was a way to feel valued and important and an outlet for the expression of their African heritage. Machado in her text, “An Examination of Selected Piano Works by Francisco Mignone, Lorenzo Fernandez and Marlos Nobre Using the Corresponding Brazilian Dances as a Guide to Their Performance” suggests that we think of the piece as divided in 5 parts: 1-the first part in C Major corresponding to a description of the African kingdom, 2-the second part in Ab Major, corresponding to the crossing of the border, 3-the third part in E Major, corresponding to the conflict, 4-the fourth part in G Major, corresponding to the death and resurrection of the Prince and, 5-the fifth part in C Major, corresponding to the Final celebration.

  • Canções E Modinhas: a Lecture Recital of Brazilian Art Song Repertoire Marcía Porter, Soprano and Lynn Kompass, Piano
    Canções e modinhas: A lecture recital of Brazilian art song repertoire Marcía Porter, soprano and Lynn Kompass, piano As the wealth of possibilities continues to expand for students to study the vocal music and cultures of other countries, it has become increasingly important for voice teachers and coaches to augment their knowledge of repertoire from these various other non-traditional classical music cultures. I first became interested in Brazilian art song repertoire while pursuing my doctorate at the University of Michigan. One of my degree recitals included Ernani Braga’s Cinco canções nordestinas do folclore brasileiro (Five songs of northeastern Brazilian folklore), a group of songs based on Afro-Brazilian folk melodies and themes. Since 2002, I have been studying and researching classical Brazilian song literature and have programmed the music of Brazilian composers on nearly every recital since my days at the University of Michigan; several recitals have been entirely of Brazilian music. My love for the music and culture resulted in my first trip to Brazil in 2003. I have traveled there since then, most recently as a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Universidade de São Paulo. There is an abundance of Brazilian art song repertoire generally unknown in the United States. The music reflects the influence of several cultures, among them African, European, and Amerindian. A recorded history of Brazil’s rich music tradition can be traced back to the sixteenth-century colonial period. However, prior to colonization, the Amerindians who populated Brazil had their own tradition, which included music used in rituals and in other aspects of life.

  • OS COMPOSITORES E SEU TEMPO Normando Carneiro
    Normando Carneiro OS COMPOSITORES E SEU TEMPO Normando Carneiro Natal 2018 1 Os Compositores de seu tempo Normando Carneiro Vivaldi, Antonio (1678-1741) Compositor e violinista italiano, o mais influente de sua época. Nasceu em 04/03/1678 em Veneza, estudou com seu pai, violinista na catedral de San Marcos. Ordenou-se sacerdote em 1703, chamavam-no interprete russo (o cura ruivo), e começou a ensinar no Ospedale della Pietá que era um estabelecimento para meninas órfãs. Trabalhou ali como diretor musical até 1740, como professor e compunha concertos e oratórios para os concertos semanais através dos que conseguiu uma fama internacional. A partir de 1713 Vivaldi também trabalhou como compositor e empresário de óperas em Veneza e viajava a Roma, Mantua e outras cidades para supervisionar as representações de suas óperas. Para 1740 entrou ao serviço do corte do imperador Carlos VI em Viena. Faleceu nesta cidade o 28 de julho de 1741. Composições Vivaldi escreveu mais de 500 concertos e 70 sonatas, 45 óperas, música religiosa como o oratório Judithatriumphans (1716), a Glória em re (1708), missas e motetes. Suas sonatas instrumentais são mais conservadoras que seus concertos e sua música religiosa com frequencia reflete o estilo operístico da época e a alternância de orquestra e solistas que ajudou a introduzir nos concertos. Johann SebastianBach, contemporâneo seu, embora algo mais jovem, estudou a obra de Vivaldi em seus anos de formação e de alguns dos concertos para violino e sonatas de Vivaldi só existem as transcrições (em sua maior parte para clavecín) de Bach. 2 Os Compositores de seu tempo Normando Carneiro Johann Sebastian Bach (Eisenach, 21/03/1685 — Leipzig, 28/07/1750) Compositor, cravista, Kapellmeister, regente, organista, professor violinista e violista oriundo do Sacro Império Romano-Germânico, atual Alemanha.

McGovern College of the Arts WESTERN AND BRAZILIAN SOUND IN FRANCISCO MIGNONE’S VALSAS CHÔRO An abstract of an Essay Presented to the Faculty of the Moores School of Music Kathrine G. McGovern College of the Arts University of Houston In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Piano Performance By Katharina Jackson Dann December 2018 Abstract Composer Francisco Mignone’s contribution to Brazilian musical nationalism is illustrated by his Valsas Chôro, a set of twelve waltzes for solo piano. In this project, I argue that in the Valsas Chôro Mignone fused Western form and Brazilian popular music; this procedure in turn allowed him to create a Brazilian waltz style that advanced Heitor Villa-Lobos’s adaptations of popular street music. Stylistic descriptions of the Valsas Chôro reveal how Mignone incorporates both waltz and choro styles. I show that by adapting the traditional accompaniment of the European waltz, Mignone creates his own Brazilian waltz style within the dance’s triple meter.
