O Caprípede Castanho do compositor Danilo Guanais: uma perspectiva interpretativa para música armorial

Abstract

The objective of this research is to understand compositional and stylistic elements of the work The Caprípede Castanho (2021), by composer Danilo Guanais (1965), whose characteristics suggest the environment of Armorial Music. The composer also uses characteristic elements of 20th century music such as Polytonality, Serialism, Minimalism, Polyrhythmia and Asymmetry. Aspects of manifestations of Northeastern popular culture are present in the work, such as Caboclinhos and Incelênça de Tibau do Sul, in Rio Grande do Norte, as well as Maracatu de Baque Virado, in Pernambuco. Based on a literature review, interviews, participant observation in rehearsals and recitals, with a group of 13 wind and percussion players, this work provides a description and analysis of the interpretive practice.
