Abstract

This project aims to continue the study named "Stylistic aspects and transformations of the samba-enredo from a melodic perspective" developed during an undergraduate research program at the Department of Music of ECA-USP, funded by FAPESP and awarded in 17th SIICUSP (International Undergraduate Research Symposium of USP). The new research aims to deepen important topics presented in that previous work, this time focusing on characteristic musical structures of samba-enredo.
