Orientador: Martha Herr / Banca: Celso Loureiro Chaves / Banca: Giacomo Bartoloni / Resumo: Esta pesquisa aborda a íntegra das canções para voz aguda e piano do compositor Bruno Kiefer compostas em 1957/58 e 1978, sobre poesias de Mário Quintana, Fernando Pessoa, Lara de Lemos e José Santiago Naud. O foco deste trabalho consiste em fornecer subsídios para a performance das canões, oferecendo aos cantores informações sobre o modo como o compositor tratou a relação entre música e poesia nestas obras, dentro de uma perspectiva pós-moderna. Além do objetivo principal desta pesquisa, procuramos no decorrer do trabalho contextualizar o período de criação das canções que integram o corpus da pesquisa; conhecer os tipos de relações possíveis entre música e poesia, levantando questões teóricas, críticas e metodológicas a partir das idéias de músico, poeta e estudiosos do assunto; verificar a existência de gestos musicais e poéticos recorrentes e como eles se associam; identificar os processos de colocação de texto em música por Kiefer comuns às diferentes canções, num processo de autocitação, para conhecer o estilo do compositor. A coleta de dados para a contextualização de gênese das obras, focado na interação do compositor com o meio onde compunha, foi realizada por meio da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Procedimento adotado também na abordagem histórica do desenvolvimento da relação entre música e poesia, assim como de opiniões diversas sobre o temas incluindo as de Kiefer. O processo de análise lítero-musical flundamenta-se nas idéias de autores como Steim & Spillman e La Rue, considera os parâmetros que o próprio compositor registrou em seus estudos musicológicos e recorre ao conjunto de gestos identificados e nomeados por Cardassi. / Abstract: This study deals all the songs for high voice and piano bu the composer Bruno Kiefer composed in 1957/58and 1978,with texts by Mário Quintana, Fernando Pessoa, Lara de Lemos e José Santiago Naud. The focus of the study consists in providing linformation for the performance of these songs, principaly the manner in whichthe composer dealt with the relationship between music and poetry in these works, within a post modern perspective In addition to the principal objective of this study, we seek to put in context the period of composition of these songs; to discuss the possibile relationships between music and poetry, raising theoretical, critical and methodological question based on the ideas of musicians, poets and specialistas in the matter to verify the existence or musical and poetic gestures and how they ar associated; and to identify the composer's styles and methods of placling text in music, based on his own writings. The collection of information to contextualize creation of these works, cocussing on the interactio of the composer wlith the means of composition, is the result of bibliografic research and contact with personal documents of the composer. The same process was adopted in the historical treatment of the development of tlhe relationship betwenn mlusic and poetry and diverse opinions on the theme includling thos of Kiefer. The literary/musical analytical process is based on the ideas of authors such as Steim & Spillmanand La Rue and considers parameters which the composer registered lin his musicological studies using the set of gestures indentified and listed by Cardassi. / Mestre

The objective of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of the rehearsal plan in the preparation of Brazilian art songs. This disquisition proposes a rehearsal plan model based on the concept of the class plan used in the field of education. The rehearsal plans were applied in a series of rehearsals with two singers at North Dakota State University in which we worked on four art songs composed by the Brazilian composer Francisco Mignone (1897-1986). This qualitative study adopted the autoethnography as research method. In this autoethnographic research I worked both as researcher and as pianist in the rehearsals. This disquisition relied upon two axes of theoretical framework, one musical and one educational: the musical axis was formed of studies regarding performance and preparation of art songs as developed by Katz (2009), Kimball (2006), Stein and Spillman (1996), Moore (1984), Bernac (1978), and Adler (1971). The educational axis was based on the studies of Libâneo (2006) and Coll, Pozo, Sarabia, and Valls (1998) and provided the concept, philosophical basis, structure, and applicability of the class plan. This educational axis also included studies supporting the effectiveness of the rehearsal plan in various musical contexts, such as Gorelick (2001), Brunner (1996), and Figueiredo (1990). The research data revealed that the rehearsal plan was an effective pedagogical tool in the preparation of Brazilian art songs. The rehearsal plans provided outlines of clear objectives and focused rehearsal strategies and facilitated the development and application of specific rehearsal strategies for art song performance preparation. The plans also promoted connectivity between rehearsals and a sense of accomplishment for the pianist and singers. In addition, the rehearsal plans detailed the preparation of Brazilian art songs with respect to three distinct dimensions of knowledge: conceptual, practical, and attitudinal.

The articulation of Portuguese nasalized vowels poses some articulatory problems accompanied by negative acoustic effects for the performance of Brazilian art songs. The main objective was to find strategies that permit the singer to conciliate an idiomatic pronunciation of these vowels with a well-balanced resonance, a desirable quality in classical singing. In order to devise these strategies, the author examined sources dealing with nasalized vowels from varied perspectives: acoustic properties of vowel nasalization, phonetic and phonological aspects ofBrazilian Portuguese (BP), historical views on nasality in singing, and recent vocal pedagogy research. In addition to the overall loss of sonority, the main effect of nasalization is felt mainly in the first formant (F1) region of oral vowels, due to the introduction of nasal formants and antiformants, and to shifts in the tongue posture. Several sources report the existence of a nasality contour in BP, by which a nasalized vowel starts with an oral phase and transitions gradually to a nasal phase. The author concludes that the basic approach to sing nasalized vowels in BP is (1) to find the tongue posture corresponding to the oral vowel congener (the “core vowel”), and (2) to adjust the nasality contour in such a way that the oral portion remains prominent in order to keep the resonance balance consistent during the emission of the vowel. Once the core vowel is determined, standard vowel modification choices can be made according to voice type and the musical context in which the vowel is being sung. Some challenging excerpts from Brazilian art songs are examined, with suggestions for the application of the discussed strategies.

The purpose of this study is to present a performance guide for singers on twelve selected songs in Brazilian Portuguese for voice and piano by Brazilian composer, pianist, and arranger Edmundo Villani-Côrtes (b.1930). Since 1949, Villani-Côrtes has been active in the musical scene of Brazil. He has a unique compositional style that seamlessly combines elements of both art music and popular music. Villani-Côrtes’s body of works includes over two hundred compositions for solo instrumental music, orchestral music, choral music, and art song. He has written over sixty songs in Brazilian Portuguese, including the Ciclo Cecília Meireles (1987), winner of the 1988 Prize of the Associação Paulista de Críticos de Arte (A.P.C.A.), but most of these remain unpublished. This performance guide is the result of three years of research, study and personal communication between the author, Villani-Côrtes, and poets whose words the composer used as lyrics. It offers a comprehensive body of information relevant for both the performer and voice teacher who approach this new and untraditional repertoire. It includes a concise biography of the composer, biographical information for the poets, comments on the compositional style of Villani-Côrtes, an overview of the Brazilian Portuguese International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)—with a chart of Brazilian Portuguese Sounds, IPA transcriptions with English word-by-word translations and poetic versions of all the lyrics, comments from the composer and the poets on each of the songs, and the technical information, pedagogical suggestions, and interpretative insights provided by the author.

Brazil is a country known for its cultural diversity, vastness and regional differences, specifically its music. Thus, preserving our heritage becomes a priority so as not to neglect our heritage. Given the variety of Brazilian composers research is fundamental to evaluate and maintain the musical heritage of our country. The research will focus on analyzing and drawing attention to the little known compositions of Babi de Oliveira. On the part of the researcher there is an interest in providing access to the work of BABI DE OLIVEIRA for voice and piano, becoming an incentive to pursue this research project. The research project will therefore provide a corpus of songs for voice and piano, organizing and selecting the musical scores. A survey of coauthors, performers of her songs will also be conducted. In addition, her daughters were interviewed, newspaper articles of the era were reviewed, as well as comments of the composer herself were analyzed; scholars and performances of her songs on high-density video discs (DVD), and internet research and musicology bibliography were also researched. Based on the information obtained the researcher presents the life and work of the composer from a human interest perspective. In conclusion, BABI DE OLIVEIRA s songs for voice and piano found were listed and final remarks presented. / Um país caracterizado pela diversidade cultural como o nosso, imenso, marcado pelas diferenças regionais, onde cada parte tem uma cultura específica e, mais especificamente, sua música, a preocupação com a preservação de nossa memória torna se premente, para que referências não sejam negligenciadas. Diante da variedade de compositores brasileiros, o aprofundamento das pesquisas sobre a música brasileira torna-se fundamental como forma de valorizar e preservar o patrimônio e a cultura musical do país, mais específicamente, nesta dissertação, divulgar as inúmeras composições pouco conhecidas da compositora Babi de Oliveira. O desejo de aprofundar o conhecimento em torno das composições para canto e piano de Babi de Oliveira a fim de tornar visível sua importância foi a mola propulsora desta investigação. Apresento, nesta pesquisa, o corpus de canções para canto e piano da compositora BABI DE OLIVEIRA, realizando uma proposta de organização do acervo encontrado, com a análise das partituras, levantamento dos coautores e dos intérpretes de suas canções. Com o intuito de ampliar a biografia de BABI DE OLIVEIRA, foram utilizadas as entrevistas realizadas com suas filhas, artigos de periódicos da época, a transcrição dos comentários da compositora, intérpretes e estudiosos, gravados em DVD, os dados pesquisados na Internet e a bibliografia musicológica. Com base nos dados colhidos, apresento a vida e a obra da compositora a partir de um vértice humano. Por último, exponho a catalogação das canções para canto e piano encontradas, seguida das considerações finais. / Mestre em Artes
