A Guitarra Clássica de Cordame Acrescido: um lugar na contemporaneidade
AdvisorAbstract
This research project is born from my interest in guitars with more than six strings, which has been growing after many years of practice on the six-string guitar. I notice that, nowadays, many guitarists interpreters - I refer to the context of the erudite music - began to use instruments of the past, sometimes original, sometimes replicas, following the construction patterns of the time. However, few have focused on guitars with more than six strings, much explored during the 19th century and, in some cases, in the 20th century. In Portugal, despite the interest shown by some guitarists, neither a repertoire composed for guitars with more than six strings - which I here call increased cordage guitars - nor interpreters and composers who have focused on them with a view to integrating them into the contemporary space of the 21st century, are known. This emptiness is also seen in the absence of any academic work on this type of instrument. Thus, the aim of this research project is to create conditions that will provide a contemporary place for increased cordage guitars in the erudite music scene in Portugal, either through performance or through repertoire creation. I propose to contribute to the reflection and analysis on the use of historical sources as a mediating process in the reactivation of instruments from the past; to contribute to the inclusion of the increased cordage guitar in the contemporary concert itineraries; to promote the creation of an original concert and didactic repertoire for increased cordage guitars, through collaborative actions between knowledge produced by historical research (musicological) and knowledge resulting from artistic research (composition/performance).Research Group: Creation, Performance and Artistic Research
