This research into Brazilian music in general, and choro guitar music in particular, focuses primarily on the various and contrasting ways in which the repertoire is interpreted by Brazilian choro musicians, classical guitarists and jazz guitarists. Socio-cultural traditions and conventions are also explored. An important facet of performance in the Brazilian tradition is improvisation. The appropriateness of various improvisational approaches, including those used in jazz, are discussed. The research incorporates two 60-minute recitals, one of traditional Brazilian choro and the other of different Brazilian styles played in a jazz group setting, and these are central to the following exegesis. / Thesis (M.Mus.) -- University of Adelaide, Elder Conservatorium of Music, 2008

Orientador: Tânia Regina de Luca / Banca: Zélia Lopes da Silva / Banca: Rodrigo Patto Sá Motta / Resumo: O trabalho tem como fonte e objeto o jornal Meio-Dia, que circulou durante os anos de 1939 a 1942, sob direção de Joaquim Inojosa, expoente do modernismo pernambucano. A linha editorial do periódico sofreu alterações ao longo da circulação, mas distinguiu-se por apoiar, na maior parte de sua existência, a Alemanha nazista, enquanto a quase totalidade dos órgãos da grande imprensa, então submetida ao controle do Departamento de Imprensa e Propaganda (DIP) e do Conselho Nacional de Imprensa (CNI), apoiava a causa aliada. A pesquisa teve por meta analisar sistematicamente como, no jornal Meio-Dia, exceção dentre os periódicos brasileiros de então, construíram-se representações acerca do Estado Novo e dos países participantes da Segunda Guerra Mundial, temas que dominaram editoriais e artigos de seu fundador e proprietário, Joaquim Inojosa, cujas opiniões variaram ao longo do período de publicação da folha. Assim, de uma posição de neutralidade, adotada ao longo de 1939, o jornal passou a atacar de forma impiedosa a Inglaterra e louvar a Alemanha e seu regime, postura que vigorou ao longo dos anos de 1940 e 1941. A mudança da posição do Brasil a partir de janeiro de 1942 afetou diretamente o vespertino, que mudou novamente de posição e enfrentou dificuldades crescentes, que acabaram por levar ao encerramento de suas atividades. A consulta aos arquivos do Departamento de Ordem Política e Social (DOPS) revelou indícios das conexões do jornal com a Embaixada da Alemanha e empresas germânicas, além de tornarem patente que o jornal e o seu proprietário eram observados de perto / Abstract: The work has, as its source and object, the Meio-Dia newspaper, which was published during the years 1939-1942 under the administration of Joaquim Inojosa, exponent of modernism in Pernambuco. The newspaper's opinion has changed over the years, but distinguished itself because of its support of Nazi Germany in most of its existence, while almost all the organs of the mainstream media, then under control of the Departmento de Imprensa e Propaganda (DIP) and the Conselho Nacional de Imprensa (CNI), supported the allied cause. The research goal was to systematically analyze how, in the MeioDia newspaper, exception among Brazilian journals of the time, were made representations about the Estado Novo and the participating countries in the Second World War, themes that dominated editorials and articles of its founder and owner, Joaquim Inojosa, whose opinions varied during the publication of the paper. Thus, from a position of neutrality, adopted during 1939, the newspaper went on to attack mercilessly England and praise Germany's regime, a stance that prevailed during the years 1940 and 1941. The change of Brazil's position in January 1942 directly affected the journal, which again changed side and faced increasing difficulties, which eventually led to the end of its activities. The consult of the Departamento de Ordem Política e Social's (DOPS) files revealed evidence of the newspaper's connections with the German Embassy and German companies, and make clear that the journal and its owner were closely surveilled / Mestre
