Abstract
With this thesis i pretend to study the regulation and codification of a musicians social status during the New State, through the Emissora Naional Wind Quintet. This group is constituted by five musicians, with routes in philharmonic and military bands, who professionally emancipated themselves in Lisbon. In this context, the quintet circulated for various institutions which contributed to the regulation of their social status, like Conservatório Nacional de Lisboa, Emissora Nacional, Sindicato Nacional dos Músicos, and so on. The group was founded by the flutist Luis Boulton (1908-?), the oboist José dos Santos Pinto (1915-2014), the oboist Marcos Romão (1917-2000), the bassoonist Ângelo Pestana (1925-2004) and the horn player Adácio Pestana (1925-2004). Sometimes other musicians took part of the quintet, like the bassonist João Mateus (1915-1982) or the flutist Carlos Franco (1927-2011), however, i will focus my research on the founders. The quintet was in activity during 1940-1980, however i will focus my research between 1940 and 1975. 1940 is the third anniversary of Portugal independence and the year in which musicians went to Lisbon to start the professionalization. 1975, one year after the democracy implementation in Portugal, is when the musicians’s route suffers changes, because Orquestra Filarmónica de Lisboa turned Orquestra do Teatro Nacional de São Carlos, which will affect their jobs. Since 1980, the quintet just make a few concerts, through my preliminar investigation.
