O Concerto dos Pampas Sul de Ruto Herrera: aspectos históricos, elementos composicionais e analítico-interpretativos no contrabaixo solista.

Abstract

Analytical and interpretative study on the First Movement of the Concerto Dos Pampas South by Rufo Herrera, an argentinean composer rooted in Brazil. Writen for three soloist instruments - bandoneon, guitar and one of the members of the orchestral strings family (double bass, cello, viola or violin, in this order) accompanied by a string orchestra, this concert illustrates the four phases of the tango history in each one of its four movements. Departing from data combining elements of musicological, analytical and performance nature, this study aims at presenting compositional and interpretative aspects of the double bass soloistic language in this still unpublished work. Besides approaching the composer-interpreter collaboration as an effective tool in the development of the idiomatic musical language and as an encouragement to the creation of new double bass works, this study also presents the composer's biography, whose musical path is still less known to most Brazilian musicologists. It also includes interviews with the composer Rufo Herrera, the electronic editions of the Concerto Dos Pampas Sul´s First Movement score and the double bass solo part, and a copy of the autographed manuscript.
