Este trabalho apresenta um estudo analítico dos elementos melódicos e gestuais presentes em Notas Soltas (1978) para flauta transversal solo e Notas Irresponsáveis (1986/87) para trio de flautas transversais de Bruno Kiefer. O livro Introduction to Post-Tonal Theory de Joseph Straus é utilizado como referencial teórico para a abordagem melódica. Buscamos identificar quais são os padrões de escrita empregados pelo compositor e procurar relações entre as duas peças. Utilizamos o catálogo de Gestos Musicais apresentados por Luciane Cardassi em A música de Bruno Kiefer : "terra", "vento", "horizonte" e a poesia de Carlos Nejar. Através dos resultados dessas análises, procuramos entender como se dá a escrita idiomática do compositor, bem como encontrar traços em comum entre repertório escolhido para essa pesquisa e obras de Kiefer investigadas por outros autores. / The purpose of this work is to present an analytical study of the melodic elements and gestures in Bruno Kiefer’s pieces entitled Notas Soltas (1978) for solo flute and Notas Irresponsáveis (1986/87) for flute trio. The theoretical framework for the melodic approach is based on Joseph Straus’ Introduction to Post-Tonal Theory. The aim has been to identify the musical patterns employed by the composer and their relationship in both works. The catalogue of Musical Gestures compiled by Luciane Cardassi in A música de Bruno Kiefer: "terra", "vento", "horizonte" e a poesia de Carlos Nejar was also used. Through the analyses of these two works it was possible to understand the idiomatic character of Kiefer’s style, while finding common traces in other works by the same composer.

The aim of this study is to identify the main differences in compositional style in selected chamber music works by Hendrik Hofmeyr (Sonata per Flauto e Pianoforte, Sonata per Clarinetto e Pianoforte and Sonata per Violoncello e Pianoforte) and Alexander Johnson (Imicabango for flute and piano, Three Incantations for flute, clarinet and piano, and Khalagari for flute and piano). After a thorough analysis of the melodic-, harmonic-, rhythmic-, and structural elements, it was clear that the two composers’ composition style is different from one another. Differences can be identified under the following main points: form structure, melodic and harmonic content, recurring motives and texture. Hofmeyr makes use of traditional form structures, such as sonata form, ternary form, and theme and variations. Johnson does not use traditional form structures and makes use of free form structures, such as: A1-A2-A3-A4-A5- A6-A7 (second movement from Khalagari), ABABC (third movement from Three Incantations), and A1-A2-B-A3-closing section (first movement from Three Incantations). The first movement from Khalagari is the only movement where references to sonata form can be found. Hofmeyr uses existing modes and scales in his works. Both his Sonata per Flauto e Pianoforte and Sonata per Violoncello e Pianoforte contain numerous examples where he makes use of the octatonic scale and the phrygian mode. Examples of the hexatonic scale can be found in the first and second movements of the Sonata per Clarinetto e Pianoforte. Hofmeyr’s chord structures are also based on these scales and modes. Alexander Johnson does not use any of the above-mentioned scales, but rather makes use of his own scale (labeled as the “Johnson-scale” in this study). His chord structures are also based on this scale. Hofmeyr does not use themes and motives from other compositions in the three works in this study. He does however combine themes from earlier movements within a composition. Examples of this can be found in the third movements from Sonata per Flauto e Pianoforte and Sonata per Clarinetto e Pianoforte. Johnson combines motives and themes from other compositions in his works. Motives from Three Incantations can be found in Khalagari. A detailed summary can be found in the conclusion of this study. / Thesis (DMus)--University of Pretoria, 2014. / tm2015 / Music / DMus / Unrestricted
