| Abstract [eng] |
“Seréstas” of h. villa-lobos: between tradition and modernity the research is aimed to reveal the composition and performance features of “serestas” (1926-1943) by h. villa-lobos, which attracts little attention of the musicologists, except n. marun and n. sanchez. analysis of “serestas” revealed the composer’s approach to the form, melody, vocal part, harmony and rhythm, showed, that relationships between of poetic text and music are different in the songs: harmonious or independent (parallel plans in terms of meaning and content). among the general tasks for the singer the researcher highlights the numerous repetitions in the vocal part; non-academic methods of sound production – glissando and microglissando; the complexity of the harmonic basis and rhythm; the need to diversify identical phrases, a static melodic line. the performance versions of licio bruno (baritone, bass-baritone) and maria lucia godoy (soprano) showed two ways of interpreting “serestas”: more theatrical, saturated with a wide palette of emotional shades of contrasts; and lyrical, intimate. |
