Latin American classical vocal repertoire is vast, but in the United States, we only hear a fairly limited part of this literature. Much of this repertoire blends western European classical music traditions and native folk music traditions. One example of such a Latin American vocal work that is well-known in the United States is Alberto Ginastera's frequently performed song set from 1943, Cinco canciones populares argentinas. However, another lesser-known, earlier work, Cinco canciones argentinas (1923), by fellow Argentine composer Pascual De Rogatis (1880-1980) deserves attention as well. As with Ginastera's set, De Rogatis' songs are based on Argentine folk genres, but contain stylistic features of European classical music of its time. De Rogatis' neglected songs are a significant, overlooked part of Argentine classical music history, and a full understanding of well-known works such as Ginastera's song set and of the genre as a whole, must include attention to De Rogatis' Cinco canciones argentinas. Beyond vocal repertoire, De Rogatis' songs are an important part of the development of Argentine classical music. While Western musical trends change rapidly, folk music remains largely unchanged. Both De Rogatis and Ginastera were proud of their Argentine heritage, and incorporated traditional music into their compositions. I believe that De Rogatis's composition had a direct influence on Ginastera, and that the similarities between the two sets are not coincidental.

Desenvolveremos, assim, um enfoque comparado entre esses dois países de modo que essas trajetórias sejam analisadas em consonância com paradigmas intelectuais mais amplos – inclusive internacionais - que terminaram por privilegiar determinadas formas estéticas nos diferentes períodos abordados. Acreditamos, nesta medida, que as opções artísticas de Ginastera e Guarnieri estão relacionadas ao passado musical de suas respectivas sociedades, daí a importância de se discutir a história cultural argentina e a brasileira, assim como o lugar e a força que os movimentos nacionalistas e as estéticas de vanguarda lá encontraram / From the artistic careers of composers Alberto Ginastera and Camargo Guarnieri, this essay aims to analyze the consequences of nationalism and musical ―avant-garde‖ in Argentina and Brazil from 1930 to 1960. So, we will develop a focus compared between these two countries in a way that these trajectories can be analyzed in line with broader intellectual paradigms – including international ones - that ended up favoring certain aesthetic forms in different periods covered. We believe that the artistic options of Ginastera and Guarnieri are related to the musical past of their respective societies, hence the importance of discussing the Argentine and Brazilian cultural history, as well as the place and the strength that the nationalist movements and ―avantgarde‖ aesthetics forms found there
