Densidade textural e morfologia no planejamento das três peças do ciclo Dimensões, para orquestra de câmara.

Abstract

The main proposal of this research was to investigate the concept of density in music, to plan and to compose a cycle of three pieces for chamber orchestra titled Dimensões, which were based mainly in the textural density‟s control and in the morphological characterization. For that, we elaborated a tool to achieve the control of the textural density (Strawberry), which was developed originally in this research from a ramification of Wallace Berry‟s density calculation, arose from the author‟s theory about musical texture, presented in his book Structural Functions in Music (1987), complementing it with analytical aspects developed by Didier Guigue in the book Estética da Sonoridade (2011). Concomitantly with the delineation of the densities calculated, we elaborated compositional plans taking as reference practices or formal models used by composers in the 20th Century.
