Os limites do moderno na canção de câmara de Antônio Carlos Jobim e Vinícius de Moraes

Abstract

The article discusses the historical context in which it was produced the LP "Canção do Amor Demais", recorded in Rio de Janeiro in 1958, which contains songs by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes interpreted by the singer Elisete Cardoso and instrumental group featuring Joao Gilberto. Discusses the article if the LP has a modernist orientationreflexes in the execution of a cultured and refined song type, and at the same time of popular taste. We argue that the aesthetic proposal contained in this LP has been abandoned due to the projection that bossa nova reached the same age, but also in the light of the social, cultural and political events occurring in subsequent years, which interrupted the flow of ideas and caused a disorganization of the music production environment in Brazil. From these arguments, we reviewed the history of modernism in the sense of assessing whether the sound and other elements present in the LP relate to modernist design. In this way, we intend to contribute to the deepening cultural and historical processes that mark the construction and deconstruction of our musical identity.
