| Abstract | |
This thesis is the result of a research conducted since 2008. In 2010 was completed a Master Degree at UNICAMP, whose main theme was Gérard Grisey's reflections on musical time, presented according to ideas and concepts by the composer himself in his writings. After immersion in his compositional thinking it became necessary to check how he translated into music such structures. Thus, the main objective of this work is to investigate how the composer has built his musical structures, looking for resonances with his theoretical production. For this three pieces from Grisey¿s distinct compositional phases were chosen: Tempus ex machina (1979), Talea (1986) e Vortex Temporum (1994-96). Another objective was to find elements of the composer¿s creative process that had been influenced by prevailing theories in the 1970s, especially information theory. The methodology consisted in the study of relevant literature, and, quantification and analysis of the major structural elements of the chosen pieces. The results that can be highlighted are: 1) the development of an analysis tool by rate of entropy and information, 2) identification of the fundamental structures of the three pieces analyzed, 3) composition of original pieces based on the conceptual study. After the detailed study of the three parts it was found that the same techniques for handling the materials were preserved throughout the work of the composer. The novelty is restricted especially the way he formally organized the processes of transformation, attitude motivated by the need to introduce greater unpredictability in their music (AU) | |
