Adaptación para trombón e interpretación de tres obras del "Cholo" Valderrama

Abstract

The present work comes from a concern to nourish the trombone repertoire with materials coming from the music of the Colombian-Venezuelan plains. In order to achieve this purpose, two complementary activities have been carried out. On the one hand, a contextualization has been elaborated that places the musical practices of the plains in an artistic and social environment. On the other hand, three works by the Colombian musician "Cholo" Valderrama have been transcribed and adapted in three different golpes (rhythmic-harmonic cicles): pasaje, zumba que zumba and nueva onda. As part of the process, a link has been established between the most relevant challenges of playing the melodies coming from the harp and the guitar on the trombone, with some of the most used technical methods in the academic trombone department. In this sense, it is shown how the trombone technique connects with uses in non-academic music, while contributing to the articulation between various musical styles and practices.
