Este trabalho tem como foco de interpretação histórica a produção musical autoral dos compositores riograndinos destinada à participação em festivais de música realizados ao longo da década de 1970 na cidade do Rio Grande – RS. Neste sentido, balizando a pesquisa em uma abordagem contextual, procuro descrever como os artistas da época, desvinculados dos meios de comunicação, da indústria do disco e do mercado cultural, produziam suas canções, em um ambiente hostil, onde a censura, a repressão e a tortura, foram práticas comuns, e os festivais de música um dos poucos canais de expressão cultural da população local, ainda que sofressem a interferência direta de grupos ligados as elites políticas e econômicas que possuíam interesses bem definidos quanto aos proveitos que estes eventos poderiam reverter. / This work focuses on the historical interpretation of the musical production of composers riograndinos copyright intended participation in music festivals held throughout 1970 in Rio Grande - RS.

This thesis explores ways of adopting elements of Calabrian folk music in compositions of contemporary music beyond the mere adoption of melodies and instruments. Through this work, I aim to create a practice for contemporary improvisation and composition that is deeply imbued with elements derived from the music theory, the sonic environment and the performance practices of Calabria. The work described in this dissertation consists of two components: ethnomusicological research and a practice-based enquiry. This research focuses mainly on three aspects of Calabrian folk music: generative principles, the tuning system and processes of bagpipes, and soundscapes created by animal bells. These aspects guided both the ethnomusicological enquiry and the creative exploration. They are first described and analysed in their original context: folk music was studied in the field, amid and within the tradition bearers; research was conducted from a cultural and musicological perspective within the methodological and ethical framework of ethnomusicology. The data emerging from the ethnomusicological investigations informed the creative enquiry carried out through practice-led research. The outcomes of my investigation into Calabrian music became the core principles of my compositions of contemporary music. Generative principles were explored from the perspectives of both composition and improvisation They informed primarily a series of pieces for saxophone solo and a composition for chamber ensemble. The tuning system and processes of Calabrian bagpipes were investigated in compositions centred on pitch and extended harmonic spaces. They informed two compositions for string quartet and a piece for saxophone quartet. Soundscapes informed the composition of a piece of spatial music for goat bells that adopts indeterminacy methods for structuring the performance. The creative work, attached to this thesis as a portfolio of compositions, is analysed through self-reflective methods and in relation to the work of other contemporary music practitioners. My enquiry of the folk sources contributes to the field of ethnomusicology with new insight into Calabrian music. The creative processes and the techniques developed throughout this research also have implications for the broader field of contemporary music, as they offer a perspective on new ways of engaging creatively with folk materials.

Title: Festivalernas Intåg – Korröfestivalen- en bordunstämmas resa genom festivaliseringen The Korrö festival- The establishment of a Swedish Folk Music Festival. This thesis describes how folk music festivals have been escalating during the past few and how they have influenced Swedish folk music. To reach my results I have been studying one festival in particular which is the Korrö Folk Music Festival. This event started in the mid-eighties as a small happening that attracted almost exclusively musicians that were a part of the bordooon movement. The bordoon movement gathered a couple of days in the summer at what they called the “Korrö bordunstämma” to build instruments and play folk music. Later on the event started to attract other people through public live concerts. These concerts became more and more popular and they soon took over the original purpose of the event. This became a turning point for “Korrö bordunstämma” who now decided to change name to the Korrö Folk Music Festival. I have been studying the history of this event to see if I could find any particular circumstances that may have contributed to the popularity this event have reached over the years. I will illustrate how certain factors such as organisation, economy and alteration of visitors have affected the festival. This text will give the reader a presentation of a festival in constant change. I believe that The Korrö Folk Music Festival has been an important part of the development of modern Swedish folk music and still is.

Destined companions of the calling (compañeros del destino), huapango arribeño music practitioners often refer to each other as – a label that signifies the expressive bonding forged through the axis of encounter/engagement central to huapango arribeño’s performance. As of late, huapango arribeño, which originates in Mexico, has made its way across the border where it is performed among communities of listeners and practitioners in the U.S. This dissertation unearths the cultural dimensions of the experiences of migration particular to the immigrant communities in question with focused attention on the performative (musical/discursive) contouring of the transborder imaginary – the prism through which they live and understand their lives, make decisions, work, perform, and imagine. Attention is given to the physical and metaphysical construction of the border between the U.S. and Mexico, to its militarization and officialized discourses of the nation and citizenship that legitimate draconian policy initiatives. Huapango arribeño – as a site of conviviality and sociality –, it is argued, actively disrupts this dislocational alchemy of the borderlands, as communities themselves cultivate the linkages that shape the patterning of their multidirectional existence across borders. / text
