Entre el serialismo y los géneros andinos: análisis técnico con fines interpretativos de las tres piezas montañeras pa' clarinete solo de Jaime Jaramillo Arias

Abstract

This thesis analyzes the Tres Piezas Montañeras Pa' Clarinete Solo by Colombian composer Jaime Jaramillo Arias, a composition that integrates elements of traditional Andean genres such as the bambuco and the pasillo with resources characteristic of dodecaphonism and serialism. The document falls under the Creation, Direction, or Performance modality and combines a written component with a defense in which the studied pieces are presented. To this end, the analysis addresses three complementary dimensions: the contextualization of the composer and the Colombian repertoire for solo clarinet, the study of the rhythmic, melodic, and intervallic elements that shape each piece, and the formulation of technical and interpretative strategies for its performance. Within this framework, an analytical approach is taken to the serialist procedures employed by Jaramillo Arias, which include the original form and the retrograde of the initial series, as well as two of its derivatives, alongside the characteristic elements of the bambuco and the pasillo that structure the rhythmic discourse of the composition. Each chapter also incorporates study technique proposals grounded in acoustic and technical knowledge of the instrument. As a result, the thesis concludes that this composition represents a significant contribution to the contemporary Colombian clarinet repertoire, and that its adequate performance requires a dual command of serial technique and traditional Andean genres.
