Abstract

This thesis consists in a sociological investigation of the Brazilian concert music created during the 1940s and 50s. The focal point is Cesar Guerra-Peixes compositional trajectory along these two decades, which serves as a guideline through his letters, writings, interviews and, above all, the music he composed during that period. Discussing Guerra-Peixes relationship with his peers, the thesis strives to shed light on how he responded compositionally to the problems and debates of his time. The investigation is approached through the complex relationship between modernity and tradition in his works. (AU)
