Dos obras de musica carranguera para quinteto de saxofones de nivel inciación (nivel2)

Abstract

This work focuses on the appropriation of traditional rural carranga music in non-traditional instrumental formats, specifically the saxophone quintet, a type of ensemble to which this repertoire is rarely adapted. Based on this, the pedagogical value of this genre is recognized due to its accessibility, structural clarity, and the recurrence of its rhythmic and harmonic patterns—aspects that favor ensemble development in educational settings. In this sense, the project aims to provide beginner and elementary students with clear, functional, and easily accessible musical resources that allow them to explore this repertoire in new formats, through arrangements that preserve the stylistic essence of carranga while simultaneously adapting to the technical capabilities of the saxophone. Likewise, it seeks to contribute to the pedagogical practice of music teachers by providing relevant teaching materials, given the limited availability of arrangements of this type for saxophone ensembles. In this way, the work not only contributes to the expansion of the repertoire but also promotes the integration of traditional Colombian music in academic contexts, strengthening both the technical development of the students and their sense of cultural identity.
