Profundo clamor. Composición para tuba solista, ensamble de vientos graves y percusión

Abstract

This document presents a creation and performance project centered on the composition of Profundo Clamor, a work for solo tuba, low brass ensemble, and percussion, conceived as a symbolic response to the concept of depth, understood from both theological and timbral perspectives. Drawing from a critical assimilation of the tintinnabuli developed by Arvo Pärt, the work proposes a compositional process that articulates elements of formal simplicity, harmonic resonance, and contemplative spirituality. The theoretical framework integrates notions derived from spectromorphology, Christian symbolism, and the tintinnabuli technique. Methodologically, the project is grounded in sessions of exploratory instrumental experimentation, which enabled a creative process closely aligned with the actual capacities of the performers. In this sense, the piece contributes to the expansion of the limited soloist repertoire for tuba in Latin America, while the present document offers a comprehensive account of the compositional and interpretative process.
