Um olhar para quatro cantigas de ninar de Paurilo Barroso pertencentes ao Acervo Hermelindo Castelo Branco

Abstract

This dissertation presents the analysis of the lullabies "Acalanto", "Dorme, dorme, filhinho...", "Ninando" and "Para ninar" by the composer Francisco Paurilo Barroso (1894-1968). The specific objectives of this research were: to understand the textual content of these four songs; from the scores analyzed, what was the composer's treatment of the musical parameters (melody, dynamics, rhythm and harmony) that characterize these lullabies, and the text-music relation, tracing the profile of the composer within this genre, to experience interpretative aspects of these works by relating them to the analysis as well as sketching a brief biography of the artist.
