Resumen
The Orchestra Macolla of bamboo musical instruments created and directed by
Schuberth Ganchozo, is a reference of the traditional music of the Ecuadorian
coast, presents a different proposal in terms of its musical and sound
development. These are instruments, which, due to their construction material,
can easily be elaborated, giving an alternative in the formation of varied formats
of musical ensembles. The elaboration of this work is based on an
organological classificatory study of each of the musical instruments of the First
Orchestra Macolla, based on the Hornbostel-Sachs classification system, which
groups each instrument by family, category and subcategories. In order to cover
the study of the orchestra and the subject matter of its study, this thesis is
structured in three chapters. The first chapter deals with the organology, the
sound worldview and the classificatory proposal of Hornbostel-Sachs, the
second chapter introduces brief information about the creator of the orchestra, -
Schubert Ganchozo- and the characteristics of the Macolla orchestra, having as
antecedent the montubio and its particular and musical characteristics, and in
this way it is intended to constitute a look at the sound worldview of said
creator, embodied in the bamboo orchestra. Finally, the third chapter presents
the instruments of the Orquesta Macolla, classified according to the proposed
organological theories and an elaboration of technical files for each of their
instruments, accompanied by an audio that exemplifies the sound of each of the
instruments studied.
