A construção de um acompanhamento para violão de sete cordas na música Rua da Frente

Abstract

This piece of research aims to create a counterpoint for a seven-chords guitar in my song Rua da Frente. For this, I have developed themes and phrases based on choro music, by inverting chords and melody succession typical of the style, to created phrases and conduct the studied piece harmony. At first, I created spontaneously a counter point which was recorded in a cell application and later copied to see how the counter point was in relation to the main melody. The strategy for observing the counter point in the piece was by analyzing Schoenberg’s motifs, as well as the system of question and answer very typical of choro music. I have concluded it is possible to create a counter point by inverting chords, diversifying the melodicline between chromaticism, arpeggios and diatonics cales to avoid monotony in relation to the main melodicline. Finally, from this work a new product has come out: a clarinet sheet music, chords and seven-chord guitar counterpoint to publicise the work and suggest creations of counterpoint for choro music.
