Jag har länge tyckt att soundet från en stråke är häftigt. Det finns inspelningar med jazzstråk, men det är inte jättevanligt och jag undrade varför. Är det för att det finns för många svårigheter att hantera med stråken? Eller var det kanske så att det fanns massor med möjligheter som inte många tog vara på? Syftet i mitt arbete har varit att ta reda på vad det finns för möjligheter och svårigheter med att spela stråke på kontrabas i jazzmusik. I arbetsprocessen har jag valt ut låtar och spelat in dessa låtar med ett band bestående av trummor, el-gitarr, tenor saxofon och viola. Sedan har jag skickat låtarna till verksamma stråkbassister så att de kan kommentera och ge tips. Utifrån kommentarerna, tipsen och min egna analys av låtarna har jag gjort övningar som har gjort att jag på bättre sätt har kunnat ta vara på möjligheterna och hantera svårigheterna. De tankar jag hade i början av arbetet angående vad som skulle vara möjligheterna med stråken och vad som skulle vara svårigheterna har visat sig i vissa fall inte stämma alls, i vissa fall stämma delvis och i vissa fall stämde de helt. Ett exempel är att jag tänkte i början av arbetet att få till bra rytmer skulle vara en svårighet, dock visade sig rytmer även vara en möjlighet då man kan ha större rytmisk variation med stråken än med fingrarna eftersom man kan hålla ut en ton längre med stråken. / For a long time I have been thinking that the sound of a bowed tone is cool. There are recordings of music with jazz bowing, but it is not very common and I wondered why. Is it because there are too many difficulties with bowplaying? Or are there a lot of opportunities that only a few bass players take advantage of? The aim of my thesis is to figure out what the difficulties and the opportunities with bow playing on the double bass are in jazz music.  In my research process I have chosen a couple of songs, rehearsed and recorded them with a band including drums, guitar, tenor saxophone and viola. After each recording session, I sended the recordings to a couple of active bow playing bass musicians, which answered with comments and advices.  Based on the advices and my own analysis of the songs, I did exercises that taught me how to handle the difficulties and how to fully use the opportunities with bow playing in jazz music.  In the beginning of the project I had some thoughts about what the opportunities and difficulties would be. Some of the thoughts came out to be, in some cases incorrect, in some cases partly correct and in some cases fully correct.  An example is that, beginning my research I thought that playing rhythms with a bow would be difficult, but as it turned out, playing rhythms could also be an opportunity. I then could use more versatile rhythms than with my finger, since the bow allows me to hold a tone for a longer time.

Part A: artistic production which includes two recitals with program related to the developed research and there are also mandatory for the conclusion of the course, and Part B: an scholar paper. The final recital has works that highlight chamber music and the Double Bass, and integrates different instrumental combinations of solo works, with emphasis on Brazilian popular music. The recital program is composed of arrangements that addresses the performance of instrument genres such as Milonga, the Chacarera and Chamamé, and other genres of Brazilian popular music like samba. The scientific article deals with the use of arrangements for chamber music with bass in popular Brazilian works. It presents alternatives for expanding the Brazilian popular chamber repertoire, through the discussion of expressive/technical resources applied to bass arrangements for various instrumental combinations. The main objective was to conduct a study on the use of arrangements for chamber groups with bass, demonstrating possibilities for increasing the repertoire and teaching materials. The methodological process was based on the literature review of the performance of the instrument in genres of popular music, particularly jazz, as well as chamber music and the main teaching methods used in the country. For that the use of technical resources from these two musical universes was discussed, applied in works of Brazilian popular music. The study sought to demonstrate that the use of arrangements of Brazilian popular music for chamber groups can serve as an alternative to expanding the repertoire and didactic material for teaching the instrument the bass. / Este trabalho é o Produto Final do curso de Mestrado em Música – Performance Musical Contrabaixo, apresentado ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Música da Universidade Federal de Goiás e, está dividido em duas partes. Parte A: produção artística, que inclui os dois recitais relacionados à pesquisa desenvolvida e que são pré-requisitos para a conclusão do curso, e Parte B: o artigo científico. O recital de defesa conta com obras que evidenciam o caráter camerístico e solista do instrumento, e integra diferentes formações instrumentais além de obras solo, com ênfase na música popular brasileira. Os arranjos que compõem o programa de defesa abordam a atuação do instrumento em gêneros fronteiriços como a Milonga, a Chacarera e o Chamamé, além de outros gêneros mais conhecidos da música popular brasileira como o samba. O artigo trata da utilização de arranjos para grupos camerísticos com contrabaixo em obras populares brasileiras. Para isso apresenta alternativas para a ampliação do repertório popular brasileiro em câmara e do material didático, através da discussão de recursos técnico/expressivos do contrabaixo aplicados em arranjos para formações instrumentais variadas. O objetivo central foi realizar um estudo sobre a utilização de arranjos para formações camerísticas com contrabaixo, demonstrando funcionalidades pedagógicas e de possibilidades de aumento do repertório. O processo metodológico baseouse na revisão de literatura sobre a atuação do instrumento em gêneros da música popular, em especial o jazz, bem como na música de câmara e dos principais métodos de ensino utilizados no país. Para isso discutiu-se a utilização de recursos técnicos advindo desses dois universos musicais, aplicados em obras da música popular brasileira. O trabalho procurou evidenciar que a utilização de arranjos camerísticos de obras da música popular brasileira pode servir como alternativa para a ampliação do repertório para contrabaixo e material didático para o aprendizado do instrumento.
