Orientador: Sonia Regina Albano de Lima / Banca: Fábio Miguel / Banca: Silvia Simone Anspach / Resumo: Esta dissertação de mestrado teve como objetivo principal editar 31 obras ainda não publicadas da compositora Adelaide Pereira da Silva e produzir um catálogo comentado dessas obras. Tal trabalho justifica-se considerando se tratar de uma compositora do sexo feminino, em plena atividade, defensora e incentivadora do folclore musical brasileiro e de nossas raízes, que ao longo da sua vida assumiu cargos relevantes nesta área e possui larga experiência como professora de música em escolas e universidades de São Paulo. Para cumprir o objetivo, além da edição das obras, foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico para conceituar e apresentar as funções direcionadas à edição de obras musicais e referendar o trabalho das mulheres nas diversas subáreas da música. Também foram efetuadas algumas entrevistas e colhidos depoimentos orais da compositora para serem incluídos no catálogo comentado das obras, além da coleta de documentos que descrevem parte da sua trajetória musical (fotos, programas de concerto, premiações, entre outros), reunidos como anexo a este trabalho. As partituras foram editadas através do software FINALE 2012 e registradas na Fundação Biblioteca Nacional (Biblioteca Nacional do Brasil). O trabalho consiste em um capítulo com um sucinto relato do trabalho musical realizado pelas mulheres brasileiras, outro descrevendo parte da trajetória da compositora e um terceiro voltado à edição de partituras. Segue-se a eles o catálogo comentado contendo, além das partituras o...

This work is relevant because she is a female composer in full activity, a defender and promoter of Brazilian musical folklore and its roots and who, throughout her life, has taken important positions in this area, with wide experience as a music teacher in schools and universities in São Paulo. To accomplish such objective, besides the editing of the sheet music, a bibliographical research was performed in order to conceptualize and present the functions related to the edition of musical works and to document women's work in the several subareas of music. Some interviews and oral testimonies by the composer are to be included in the commented catalog of the works, as well as the collected documents that describe part of her musical trajectory (photos, concert programs, awards, among others), which appear as annexes to this work. Sheet music was edited through FINALE 2012 software and registered at National Library Foundation (National Library of Brazil). The paper includes a chapter presenting a concise history of the musical work of Brazilian women composers, followed by a chapter partially describing the trajectory of Adelaide Pereira da Silva, and a third one, dedicated to the edition of sheet music. The commented catalog contains the sheet music, organized according to the criteria of instrumentation;... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

The late nineteenth century was a time of great change for women's roles in music. Whereas in 1870, women played primarily harp or piano, by 1900 there were all-woman orchestras. During the late nineteenth century, women began to perform on instruments that were not standard for them, such as cornet, trombone, and saxophone. The achievements of early female saxophonists scarcely have been mentioned in accounts of saxophone history. This study gathers scattered and previously unpublished information about the careers and repertoire of American female saxophonists from 1870-1930 into one reference source.The introduction presents a brief background on women's place in music around 1900 and explains the study's organization. Chapter two presents material on saxophone history and provides an introduction to the Chautauqua, lyceum, and vaudeville circuits. Chapter three contains biographical entries for forty-four women saxophonists from 1870-1930. Then follows in Chapter four a discussion of the saxophonists' repertoire. Parlor, religious, and minstrel songs are examined, as are waltz, fox-trot, and ragtime pieces. Discussion of music of a more "classical" nature concludes this section. Two appendixes are included--the first, a complete alphabetical list of the names of early female saxophonists and the ensembles with which they played; the second, an alphabetical list of representative pieces played by the women.The results of this study indicate that a significant number of women became successful professional saxophonists between 1870-1930. Many were famous on a local level, and some toured extensively while performing on Chautauqua, lyceum, and vaudeville circuits. Some ended their performing careers after becoming wives and mothers, but some continued to perform with all-woman swing bands during the 1930s and 40s.The musical repertoire played by women saxophonists from 1870-1930 reflects the dichotomy of cultivated and vernacular music. Some acts chose to use popular music as a drawing card by performing ragtime, fox-trot, waltz, and other dance styles. Other acts presented music from the more cultivated classical tradition, such as opera transcriptions or original French works for saxophone (by composers such as Claude Debussy). Most women, however, performed a mixture of light classics, along with crowd-pleasing popular songs. / School of Music
