This master's thesis is dedicated to the analysis of rhythmic elements in Manuel Ponce's work Concierto del Sur for guitar and orchestra. The research examines rhythmic elements from Mexican and Spanish folk and popular music traditions, which are integrated into the classical concerto form. The objectives of this work: 1.To describe the primary rhythmic elements of Mexican and Spanish music and their historical and cultural origins. 2.To analyse Manuel Ponce's musical language, with particular focus on his compositional techniques and rhythmic structures. 3.To examine the Concierto del Sur composition, identify and analyse the Mexican and Spanish rhythmic elements employed. The work consists of three chapters. The first examines the rhythmic elements of Mexican and Spanish music as polyrhythm, sesquialtera, clave and others, revealing their origins, functions, and the diversity of musical styles. The second provides an overview of Manuel Ponce's biography and his contribution to the classical guitar repertoire. The third presents an analysis of Concierto del Sur, identifying Mexican and Spanish rhythmic patterns within the context of a classical concerto. The research applies musicological literature analysis, listening to audio recordings, analysis of sheet music score and comparative research between, revealing that specific rhythmic models such as syncopations, changing metres, and others identified in the work reflect the musical traditions of Mexico, other Latin American countries, and Spain. |
