Caninde-Ioune: repertoire of indigenous and African matrix in songbook for Orpheonic Singing classes

Abstract

The objetive of the article is to analyse the publication process and the repertoire of the songbook Guia Prático: estudo folclórico musical, de Heitor Villa-Lobos, observing how the use of elements identified in the songs of indigenous, African and European matrices, reveal musical diversity, conceptions educational and social aspects of the period that were composed.  The analysis is based on premises studied by the History of Written Culture, in terms of the production, appropiation and circulation of written culture and authors of the History of Musical Education. The analysis showed that, even with a discourse of valuing indigenous, rural and Afro-decendant culture, the European hierarchical logic was consolidated and reinforced by the hegemony of the elements of Western classical music.
