Claudio Bertoni Lemus, nacido en 1946, poeta, fotógrafo y artista visual, chileno, aún vivo y residente en Concón.

También debe hacerse cargo, ya en Chile decididamente, de su inestabilidad siquiátrica y de las fuertes crisis que le sobrevienen. En 1993 recibe la beca Guggenheim. Ha traducido poemas del escritor Charles Bukowski.

Claudio Ambrosini’s (b. 1948) unpublished work for unaccompanied flute, A guisa di un arcier presto soriano (1981), although virtually unknown to the musical public and to connoisseurs alike, represents one of the most dazzling and impressive displays of extended techniques in the repertoire of solo flute music. The title, A guisa di un arcier presto soriano, comes from the seventh line of a sonnet by the Italian medieval poet Guido Cavalcanti (ca. 1250-1300) and translates as “just like a fast Syrian archer.” The archer in question is Eros, the Greek god of love. By the composer’s own admission, the form and expression of this piece is closely linked with the form and expression of Cavalcanti’s sonnet. In particular, Ambrosini intimates three elements specifically drawn from the poem: 1) moments of tension and suspense, as Eros silently approaches his target with bow and arrow in hand; 2) moments of love, even to the point of suggesting a love song; and 3) moments that suggest the fast passage of arrows. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore these three elements in Ambrosini’s work and to trace the correlations of the same elements in Cavalcanti’s sonnet. The expression of such concrete poetic imagery in Ambrosini’s music is at times easily deciphered through clear programmatic gestures or wordless madrigalisms; and at other times the symbolism of the poetry is developed in a hidden and metaphorical manner in its musical iteration. Further, Ambrosini’s use of a particularly colorful and vast array of extended techniques serves as the impetus for the formal structure that the music embodies, and I will show that this formal structure is itself a symbolic and metaphorical representation of the poetic significance of Cavalcanti’s sonnet.

The objective of this dissertation, inspired by performance experience, was to establish the similarities in the use of recitative style in the music of Claudio Monteverdi and Giuseppe Verdi. To achieve this objective, their use of recitative style was examined through comparative analysis of four scenes from their operas: “Arianna's Lament” from L'Arianna and “Disprezzata regina” from L'incoronazione di Poppea by Monteverdi, and “Condotta ell'era in ceppi” from Il trovatore and “Judgment Scene” from Aida by Verdi. The examination of the similarities included a discussion of the following: (a) the historical influences and cultural backgrounds of the composers; (b) general similarities in their compositional approaches to recitative style; (c) comparable characteristics of the dramatic recitative style in the early Baroque monody and in Verdi's operas; (d) similarities in musical characterization and expression of affective and emotional content through stylistic musical devices; (e) similarities in the composers' approaches to vocal and acting issues with special emphasis on the problems of diction; and (f) some related performance-practice issues. A discussion of the poetic lament and the influence of its form and content on musical setting was also a part of this research. The comparative research revealed numerous similarities in the historical circumstances influencing Monteverdi's and Verdi's choice of musical styles; their motivation; formal and stylistic characteristics of their dramatic recitative scenes; their choice of libretto; their use of the elements of lament; their musical treatment of emotional content of the text; and their prerogatives in vocal and acting issues. Numerous similar characteristics were also established regarding vibrato, tempo, rhythm, and ornamentation in the performance practice of the early Baroque recitative soliloquy and Verdi's dramatic recitative scenes. The similarities of the four scenes' functions, topics, form, and characterization through devices of musical style indicated a fundamental continuity in the development of Italian opera from its inception to the end of the nineteenth century.

Este trabalho focaliza as Canções de Amor de Cláudio Santoro, ciclo composto entre 1957 e 1960, sobre poemas de Vinícius de Moraes. Serão abordados os processos composicionais mais característicos dessas obras em análises individuais, bem como identificadas as relações dessas peças com a produção musical brasileira dos anos em que foram escritas. Nesse contexto, incluem-se possíveis aproximações com a linguagem da bossa-nova. / This work focuses on Claudio Santoros Canções de Amor (Love Songs), a cycle composed between 1957 and 1960 over poems by Vinícius de Moraes. The compositional procedures which are most common to these works will be studied through individual analysis, as well as the connections between such works and the musical production in Brazil during the years they were written. In this context, possible approaches to the Bossa Nova style will be included.

The selected corpus concentrates on twenty-eight of the one hundred sonnets of the volume Obras. To do so a characterization of this time and period poetry is required as also of the time that the author lived in. Both the historical characterizations of the time as of the poetry are essential to understand what elements or representations were pertinent at the time. Considering it we can better perceive the elements to read Cláudio’s poetry. To better understand his style we consulted some literary history works such as Alfredo Bosi (2015), Afrânio Coutinho (2007), Antonio Candido (2014) and José Guilherme Merquior (2014). To describe the classical style some texts were consulted, such as Roland Barthes’ article: Existe uma escrita poética? O grau zero da escrita: seguido de novos ensaios críticos (2004) and Introdução à Poética Clássica de Segismundo Spina (1967). Regarding the Brazillian History context Inconfidência Mineira’s books were used: Kenneth Maxwell (2010), Augusto de Lima Junior (1968) e João Pinto Furtado (2002). The material selected for analysis had two criteria. The first one consist in selecting those sonnets in which the nature is more prominent and the second one is the role nature has on the poem. The analysis concentrates in the nature and its role aiming the kind of representation it has: according to the bucolic genre, if the nature has a passive role or an active one, if it has human traces, etc / O presente trabalho objetiva investigar, por meio de leituras de poemas, as representações da Natureza em Cláudio Manuel da Costa. O corpus selecionado se concentra em vinte e oito dos cem sonetos do volume Obras. Para tanto, se fez necessária tanto uma caracterização da poesia dessa época quanto do contexto no qual estava inserido o poeta para entendermos quais elementos ou representações podem ser pertinentes à leitura dos poemas do autor, aos quais nos concentramos nessa dissertação. A fim de caracterizarmos o estilo de Cláudio Manuel da Costa tomamos as histórias da literatura de Alfredo Bosi (2015), Afrânio Coutinho (2007), Antonio Candido (2014) e José Guilherme Merquior (2014); e na caracterização do estilo clássico consultamos obras de crítica, como o texto de Roland Barthes sobre a poética clássica: Existe uma escrita poética? Contido em O grau zero da escrita: seguido de novos ensaios críticos (2004) e Introdução à Poética Clássica de Segismundo Spina (1967). Na contextualização histórica consultamos obras especializadas na história do Brasil colonial e da época da Inconfidência Mineira: Kenneth Maxwell (2010), Augusto de Lima Junior (1968) e João Pinto Furtado (2002). O corpus selecionado para análise se constitui daqueles poemas cuja natureza se apresenta no corpo do soneto e que nos permitem analisar sua representação e sua importância na ação do poema. A leitura se concentra o quanto possível na Natureza, em seu papel e em qual tipo de representação ela apresenta, de acordo com o gênero bucólico, se é uma natureza passiva ou ativa, se é humanizada etc
