Análisis de un bambuco y un pasillo de Emilio Murillo, una polka y un tango brasilero de Ernesto Nazareth a la luz de una reflexión sobre el nacionalismo musical

Abstract

The time when Emilio Murillo and Ernesto Nazareth were born and lived was a time full of economic, politic and social changes when the capitalism was developed on a large scale around Latin America. While the capitalism was coming into the American continent, the nationalism was being included on the politic, economic and cultural discussions of the new born Latin American nations, this process produced diverse discussions and definitions around the nationalism. On the other hand, the unique life that each composer had and the ways in which different authors have read and interpreted their work in the context is also diverse. In consequence, regardless of whether these composers considered themselves, or were considered after their death, as nationalist composers, this monograph aims to analyze four pieces for piano (one of them for voice and piano), in the light of the context of the fifty years that comprise the change of the nineteenth century to the twentieth (1880 – 1920). From the analysis, a comparison will be done between the pieces in search of common elements that can give signs to the compositional styles of these two characters, noticing which influences or characteristics of the musical nationalism in their countries are present in their pieces and how they correlate each other.
