Abstract

The purpose of this work is to investigate and compare compositional processes used in contemporary Brazilian music in the late XX and early XXI century. The researching period between 1985 and 2005, was chosen since it was situated after the dissolution of the main musical ideological opposition lived in the last century, the struggle nationalism versus vanguard. As a study object, will be taken parts and / or fragments of works by composers of several actual tendencies. Such works have as their common denominator the use of musical materials coming from ethnic, folk or popular expressions in Brazil. Thus, the research focuses on two points: the main compositional processes used and the ways chosen to work the cultural elements in the score's construction. The hypothesis of this project is that new forms of expression and musical conception are being developed and articulated nowadays in Brazilian music which appropriates elements ethnic, folk and popular on its architecture.
