Análise da estrutura rítmica e melódica do coco de trupé na construção do processo composicional

Abstract

This paper deals with the study of the samba de coco musical genre, which is practiced in Arcoverde, a town located in the backlands of the state of Pernambuco - Brazil. It aims to guide an investigation of the rhythmic beat and the melodic aspects performed in the sound of the coco de trupé, which is a subgenus of coco. Based on the musical characteristics produced, specifically by the group Samba de Coco Raízes de Arcoverde, we carried data on compositional elements used in their songs that were directed, by the author of this research, to his own musical compositions, intended for the protagonism of wind instruments in the sound of the coco de trupé, which were performed through the creation of an instrumental group in the form of a chamber group, whose name was called Maycon Nasário & o Coco Instrumental de Arcoverde. The results revealed that the rhythmic and melodic structures of samba de coco de trupé favored the compositional process for wind instruments through the musical scales used in some songs by the group Raízes de Arcoverde, which were identified in my compositions for the instrumental group.Thus, several traditional characteristics, typical of this genre, were maintained, which presents a wealth of musical elements that can be explored by musicians and scholars in the research area of musicology and ethnomusicology, for a greater depth of the researched topic, as well as contributing to artistic manifestations of popular Brazilian music.
