Allometric models for dominant shade tree species were developed for coffee agroforestry systems in Villa Rica, Peru. The studied shade tree species were Eucalyptus saligna, Pinus tecunumanii, Pinus radiata and Prumnopitys harmsiana. The models predict total aboveground biomass volume of tree trunk and biomass volume of the commercial utilizable tree trunk based on diameter at breast height, which was identified as the best predictor, R2 > 0,98. By non-destructive method of using Field-Map technology was measured 258 individuals. From these data have been calculated volumes of 4 types of cut outs destined for the local standards for determining the commercial utilizable tree trunk. Thus prepared data was interleaved with tested models. The best-fit model was logarithmic transformation of power-law. This model was used to determine total volume and two types of cut outs for all studied species. In all cases was reached high R2 between 0.98 and 0.99. For the other two types of cut outs data the best-fit model was Gompertz.

This study of Villa-Lobos’s Bachianas Brasileiras No. 9 aims at gaining insight into the decision-making processes of translating a score into a musical performance. Chapter I presents a discussion of selected issues related to interpretative analysis. Chapter II is an overview of the approaches to recording comparison deemed relevant to the present study. Chapter III is a comparative study of the vocal and string versions of Bachianas Brasileiras No. 9, while Chapter IV offers a structural analysis of the work. Chapter V compares four recordings: the composer’s own with the Orchestre National de La Radiodiffusion Française—EMI 7243 5 66964 2 6; Odaline de la Martinez and the BBC Singers, LNT 102; Michael Tilson Thomas and the New World Symphony —RCA 09026-68538-2; and my own CD, Construção, Orquestra de Câmara Theatro São Pedro- Limited Edition (live recording made on December 11, 1995 in Bayreuth, Germany). This comparison utilizes data obtained with the software Tempo. The tabulation of these results is shown in graphs that compare how matters of tempo flexibility affect each performance. This multi-faceted study shows that although painstaking analysis can lead to insightful solutions, the fleeting nature of musical performance requires an open mind and imagination to deal with the often contradictory directives of the score.

Para isso, almejamos construir um arcabouço teórico fundamentado na semiótica existencial, no gesto musical e tópicas, tendo como fio condutor o sentimento da saudade que, ativando ou sendo ativada por esta abordagem semiótica, nos possibilite investigar aspectos e relações com o hibridismo cultural brasileiro, buscando identificar elementos e atitudes do seu processual. Assim, uma abordagem teórico analítica plural permite nos debruçarmos sobre suas danças em ambiente orquestral, com o objetivo de identificar tais atitudes e seus desdobramentos, evidenciando aspectos do seu compor na tentativa de melhor entender seus processos composicionais. / This research aims to distinguish Villa-Lobos’ processual elements in order to uncover attitudes, which associated with saudade (nostalgia), allows us a reconsideration about his music by the bias of existential semiotics. In this regard, we aim to build a reasoned theoretical framework in the light of existential semiotics, musical gesture, and topics, where saudade is the guideline among these points. Therefore, saudade acting or being activated by this semiotic approach allows us to investigate aspects and relations with Brazilian cultural hybridity, trying to recognize elements and attitudes of Villa-Lobos’ processual. Thus, a plural analytical theoretical approach allows us to deal with his orchestral dances in order to identify such attitudes and developments, underlining aspects of his composing in an attempt to better understand Villa-Lobos’ compositional processes.

ix, 82 p. : music / While musical styles from various parts of the world intermingled in the early twentieth century, Heitor Villa-Lobos sought to promote Brazilian music throughout the classical music world. Instead of presenting only Brazilian styles, Villa-Lobos, in an attempt to showcase the international adaptability of Brazil's musical culture, developed a style all his own, which was a combination of his classical training in the western tradition and his first-hand experience with both Brazilian popular and Native Brazilian music. Much of his music manifests these influences, but his music for solo guitar, Brazil's national instrument, also features new techniques and timbres. This thesis examines the interaction of the various styles and techniques used in his <italic>Cinq Preludes</italic> for solo guitar. / Committee in charge: Jack Boss, Chairperson; Steven Rodgers, Member; David Case, Member

Orientador : Prof. Dr. Edwin Pitre-Vásquez / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Artes, Comunicação e Design, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Música. Defesa: Curitiba, 15/02/2017 / Inclui referências : f. 205-210 / Resumo: Aquela que aparece, no catálogo oficial das obras de Villa-Lobos, como sua primeira composição para violão - a Suíte Popular Brasileira - veio a público apenas 1950, nos últimos anos da carreira do compositor. Esse conjunto de cinco peças, visto por muitos autores como uma homenagem de Villa-Lobos aos músicos populares do Rio de Janeiro, homenagem prestada no momento em que se acredita que o compositor vivia na companhia amistosa desses músicos, é observada, nessa dissertação, por outro prisma. Aqui, o lapso entre a suposta concepção da obra e sua publicação aparece como um testemunho da complexidade e da ambiguidade que permeia a relação de Villa-Lobos com a música popular e do modo como essa relação participa do sentido atribuído pelo compositor à sua vida. Observá-la por esse novo ângulo implicou em colocar em questão e análise: 1) os sustentáculos da interpretação que usualmente se faz do significado dessa obra, isto é, o lugar privilegiado que Villa-Lobos ocupa na memória musical do Brasil e os discursos musicológicos consolidados em torno dele; 2) o modo como Villa-Lobos construiu sua trajetória de vida no diálogo com a música popular e os rastros da Suíte Popular Brasileira que foram se sedimentando e adquirindo sentido ao longo de tal trajetória. As discussões e conclusões presentes nesta dissertação se baseiam numa pesquisa bibliográfica e documental acerca dos pontos mencionados; seu ponto de partida teórico pertence à Etnomusicologia, mas seu desenvolvimento não seria possível sem uma imersão em textos das ciências sociais, da história e da filosofia. Palavras-chave: Villa-Lobos. Suíte Popular Brasileira. Música popular. Música Erudita. / Abstract: The one that appears in Villa-Lobos's official catalog of works as his first composition for guitar - the Suíte Popular Brasileira - came to the public only in the 1950s, it is, in the last years of the composer's career. This set of five pieces, seen by many authors as a tribute by Villa-Lobos to the popular musicians of Rio de Janeiro, a tribute given at the time when it is believed that the composer lived in the friendly company of these musicians, is seen, in this dissertation, by another prism. Here, the gap between the supposed conception of the work and its publication appears as a testimony to the complexity and ambiguity that permeates Villa- Lobos's relationship with popular music and the way in which this relation participates in the sense attributed by the composer to his life. Observing it from this new angle implied putting into question and analysis: 1) the basis of the interpretation that is usually made of the meaning of this work, that is, the privileged place that Villa-Lobos occupies in the musical memory of Brazil and the musicological discourses consolidated around him; 2) how Villa-Lobos built his life trajectory in the dialogue with the popular music and the trails of the Suíte Popular Brasileira that were sedimenting and acquiring meaning throughout this trajectory. The discussions and conclusions present in this dissertation are based on a bibliographical and documentary research about the mentioned points. Its theoretical starting point belongs to Ethnomusicology, but its development would not be possible without an immersion in texts of the social sciences, history and philosophy. Keywords: Villa-Lobos. Suíte Popular Brasileira. Popular music. Art music.

The first chapter is an historical contextualization of the piece and consider the facts that marked Villa-Lobos’ career. The second chapter approaches the creative phases of the composer and the musical characteristics of each period. The third chapter presents an analysis of O Martírio dos Insetos and intends to point some of the compositional processes used in the piece and relate them to these creative phases. The results of this study indicate that O Martírio dos Insetos has characteristics of different creative phases, not only the one in which Villa-Lobos wrote it, but also the earlier and the later ones. / Este trabalho aborda a obra O Martírio dos Insetos, composta para violino e orquestra por Heitor Villa-Lobos entre 1917 e 1925. Esta dissertação possui três capítulos, sendo que o primeiro é uma contextualização da obra em estudo, considerando fatos que marcaram a carreira do compositor. O segundo aborda as fases criativas de Villa- Lobos e as características musicais de cada período. Já o terceiro capítulo traz considerações analíticas sobre O Martírio dos Insetos, com intenção de observar alguns dos processos composicionais empregados e relacioná-los com as fases criativas. Os resultados deste trabalho demonstram que os processos composicionais empregados na obra possuem características de fases criativas diferentes, não apenas daquela em que Villa-Lobos a escreveu, mas também da fase anterior e posterior.

The aim of this thesis was to draw up a draft layout of large three-floor single-family house in the village Příkosice. In this work, I proposed two alternative solutions of which I worked up one to the desired stage. Architectural and functional solution to the variant of the house correspond to modern requirements for living. This building is located at a specific site in the built-up area of Příkosice. In the work, basic legislative conditions for the design documentation and construction of the building are presented. There is a brief description of the construction materials and the reasons for its use. Drawing part was processed using Microstation.

Seguindo os conceitos de SCHOENBERG sobre Motivo e suas transformações, esta pesquisa pretende demonstrar quais e como as formas motívicas básicas são usadas para compor o discurso musical e de que forma elas se relacionam em níveis estruturais mais profundos. Os aspectos principais destes níveis são identificados a partir da técnica proposta por SALZER, que através do estudo das vozes condutoras elucida características referentes à estrutura. A metodologia inclui revisão bibliográfica sobre as propostas analíticas citadas e sobre aspectos técnicos e biográficos do compositor relacionados à obra e à análise. A conclusão aponta aspectos inerentes à escrita de Villa-Lobos, quanto à confecção e inter-relação entre estrutura e superfície no Nonetto, bem como clarifica de que modo essas relações interagem para configurar a coerência de seu discurso musical / Abstract: Not informed. / Mestrado / Mestre em Música
