Tal trabalho justifica-se considerando se tratar de uma compositora do sexo feminino, em plena atividade, defensora e incentivadora do folclore musical brasileiro e de nossas raízes, que ao longo da sua vida assumiu cargos relevantes nesta área e possui larga experiência como professora de música em escolas e universidades de São Paulo. Para cumprir o objetivo, além da edição das obras, foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico para conceituar e apresentar as funções direcionadas à edição de obras musicais e referendar o trabalho das mulheres nas diversas subáreas da música. Também foram efetuadas algumas entrevistas e colhidos depoimentos orais da compositora para serem incluídos no catálogo comentado das obras, além da coleta de documentos que descrevem parte da sua trajetória musical (fotos, programas de concerto, premiações, entre outros), reunidos como anexo a este trabalho. As partituras foram editadas através do software FINALE 2012 e registradas na Fundação Biblioteca Nacional (Biblioteca Nacional do Brasil). O trabalho consiste em um capítulo com um sucinto relato do trabalho musical realizado pelas mulheres brasileiras, outro descrevendo parte da trajetória da compositora e um terceiro voltado à edição de partituras. Segue-se a eles o catálogo comentado contendo, além das partituras organizadas segundo critério de instrumentação, um resumo que descreve parte deste arquivo de forma sistemática e cuja função é orientar a consulta e determinar quais são os documentos pertencentes a este instrumento de pesquisa. / The main objective of this dissertation was to edit 31 still unpublished works of the composer Adelaide Pereira da Silva, and to produce a commented catalog of these works. This work is relevant because she is a female composer in full activity, a defender and promoter of Brazilian musical folklore and its roots and who, throughout her life, has taken important positions in this area, with wide experience as a music teacher in schools and universities in São Paulo. To accomplish such objective, besides the editing of the sheet music, a bibliographical research was performed in order to conceptualize and present the functions related to the edition of musical works and to document women's work in the several subareas of music. Some interviews and oral testimonies by the composer are to be included in the commented catalog of the works, as well as the collected documents that describe part of her musical trajectory (photos, concert programs, awards, among others), which appear as annexes to this work. Sheet music was edited through FINALE 2012 software and registered at National Library Foundation (National Library of Brazil). The paper includes a chapter presenting a concise history of the musical work of Brazilian women composers, followed by a chapter partially describing the trajectory of Adelaide Pereira da Silva, and a third one, dedicated to the edition of sheet music. The commented catalog contains the sheet music, organized according to the criteria of instrumentation; a summary, intended to describe part of this file in a systematic way and whose function is to guide the consultation and determine which are the documents belonging to this research instrument.

This monograph provides an in-depth examination of the background, musical, and performance issues related to Duke Ellington’s wordless melodies, as well as epigrammatic biographies of Ellington and three female vocalists whose voices he employed as instruments: Adelaide Hall, Kay Davis, and Alice Babs. As early as the twenties, Ellington innovatively used the voice as a wordless instrumental color—an idea he extended into both his secular and sacred works. His iconoclastic instrumentalization of the soprano voice in compositions such as “Creole Love Call”, “Minnehaha”, “Transblucency”, “On a Turquoise Cloud”, and “T.G.G.T.” merits consideration by scholars and performers alike; these artistically complex melodies offer valuable insights into Ellington’s organic and collaborative compositional process. Although Ellington’s wordless melodies for the soprano voice have fallen on the periphery of discussions on twentieth-century American music, perhaps out of sheer obscurity, the need for alternative teaching and performance materials gives rise to a host of topics for further study regarding these pieces. Assimilating Ellington’s programmatic and mood pieces for the instrumentalized soprano voice into the canon of chamber repertoire opens a new arena of scholarly and artistic endeavor for the trained singer. Therefore, central to this study are the following considerations: context, pedagogical challenges (range, tessitura, vowels, phrase length, etc.) nature of accompaniment and instrumentation, form, and the nature of Ellington’s vocal writing as it pertains to the wordless obbligato and concert works featuring the wordless voice including, “Minnehaha,” “Transblucency,” “On A Turquoise Cloud,” and “T.G.T.T.” aka “Too Good To Title.” This study evaluates Ellington’s technique of casting the wordless female voice in unique musical contexts via musical analysis, as well as pedagogical and interpretive assessments of selected Ellington pieces,. The resultant amalgam of musical identities, both instrumental and vocal, fostered creative polyphony and epitomized the coined “Ellington Effect.” The following analysis centers on a chronological survey of Ellington’s wordless melodies performed and recorded by Adelaide Hall, Kay Davis, and Alice Babs. The goal of this project is to present a study in historical context and significance, style, device, and pedagogical/performance considerations of those works that employ the flexibility, technique, and aural training of the studied singer with instrumental jazz idioms in a cross-genre context.
