A Suíte popular brasileira de Heitor Villa-Lobos como expressão do ambiente do choro em seu nascimento

Abstract

Heitor Villa-Lobos frequented, in his youth, a group of musicians known as "chorões", in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Was at this time that he learned to play guitar and his name became known among the musical scene of "choro". During this period, the early twentieth century, Villa-Lobos began to develop his compositional craftsmanship, and paid tribute to the new musical genre known as choro, with a work entitled Suite Popular Brasileira. This paper presents a historical analysis, epistemological analysis, melodic and the shapes of five pieces that make up the Suite Popular Brasileira, in order to bring to light the importance of this work to the history of the guitar and to the catalog of the works of Villa-Lobos.
