Aspectos da aplicação do conceito de gesto na composição da peça "Os Homenzinhos (Die Wichtelmänner)".

Abstract

This monograph aims to conceptually and practically address the term gesture in music, with a specific focus on gesture in the compositional process. Based on bibliographical research and practical experiences with compositional gestures, as well as the structuring and analysis of the Grimm Brothers' tale "The Elves and the Shoemaker," I discuss the compositional methodology and processes I used to develop musical gestures. These gestures perform a subjective transformation between text, music, and imagery (mental images), coherently and linearly accompanying the events of the text. Finally, as the result of this final undergraduate project (TCC II), and as a product of research and reflections on the subject, I explore aspects of the application of the concept of gesture in the composition of the piece Os Homenzinhos (Die Wichtelmänner) for string orchestra.
