Cuatro estudios para tiple- requinto. (una aproximación a la música contemporánea para un instrumento de música tradicional andina colombiana)

Abstract

This research project aims to contribute to the inclusion of the tiple-requinto in the academic field, through the creation of Four Studies for tiple-requinto. In the composition process, the following techniques have been used: free dodecaphony, serialism, intervallic exploration, controlled random field, and minimalism, which allows an approximation of the instrument to contemporary language and establishes itself as an alternative proposal to the way the instrument has traditionally been learned. The development of this work then tries to validate the hypothesis that it is possible to learn to play a traditional musical instrument such as the tiple-requinto, starting from contemporary music. In addition, to answer the question: what is the contribution of contemporary music to the learning of a traditional musical instrument such as the tiple-requinto? The solution to the proposed question is given by achieving the general objective, which consists of establishing a process for the composition of four studies, which demonstrates the contribution of contemporary music to the learning of the tiple requinto through the use of the techniques mentioned above. In such a way that the scope of this work is oriented towards the realization of a methodological proposal of the composition process of four studies for tiple-requinto, which allows it to be systematized and the creation of four studies for the instrument. For the creation of the methodology, Polya's proposal for solving mathematical problems and Fiore's compositional approaches have been taken as a basis, resulting in a practical tool for composition, which was used successfully for the creation of the four studies. Among the conclusions are, among other aspects evidenced during the realization of this work: the verification of the hypothesis. The description of the contributions made to the learning of the tiple-requinto by contemporary music through the four studies and the contributions of the methodological proposal of heuristic composition proposed by the author.
