Taking, as the research problem, the lack of previous works that had established precisely which works were actually written by João de Deus de Castro Lobo (Vila Rica, 03/08/1794 – Mariana, 01/26/1832), this thesis assumed the task to catalog the possible remaining compositions of this author, located in handwritten musicographic sources belonging to the largest possible number of historical collections, which involved research in 90 collections in several Brazilian states, the description and critical analysis of more than 950 found sources, and the evaluation of the possibility level of authorship by Castro Lobo for each of the cataloged works, since the existence of autographs of this musician was not unquestionably verified, nor was an autograph, coeval or authorized list of his pieces found. The description of the musicographic works and documents was carried out in the form of a critical and thematic catalogue, based on the internationally adopted methodology for this type of work and based on the analytical study of international and Brazilian catalogues of composer’s works. Besides the applying of the most effective solutions offered by the bibliography to solve each problem of this research, a system for classifying the level of possibility of authorship of each cataloged composition was created, based on the analysis of internal (of the works) and external (of the sources) evidence, on the research of available historical information and the works already carried out on the music by this composer. Considering the impossibility of determining the works of certain authorship by João de Deus de Castro Lobo, due to the lack of supporting documents (especially the musicographic autographs and authorized lists of his works), the technical conclusions of the catalog indicate the existence of 26 works of probable authorship, 5 of possible authorship, 7 of dubious authorship, 14 of improbable authorship, two works resulting from post-mortem contrafactum and one resulting from post-mortem permutation, considering that each of the cataloged works may be a ceremonial unit (the music for a complete ceremony) or a functional unit (the music for each part of the ceremony). The musicological conclusions, however, are the smaller existence of works, documents, and evidence than the expectations that existed in the bibliography about this author, but whose study resulted in the dissolution of false certainties and the primacy of verifiable information in musicographic and administrative documentation, in a more scientific and realistic vision, of more effective application in the study of the works by this and other Brazilian composers of the past.

Resumo. Adotando como problema da pesquisa a falta de trabalhos anteriores que tenham estabelecido com precisão quais foram as obras realmente escritas por João de Deus de Castro Lobo (Vila Rica, 08/03/1794 – Mariana, 26/01/1832), esta tese assumiu a tarefa de catalogar as possíveis composições remanescentes deste autor, localizadas em fontes musicográficas manuscritas pertencentes ao maior número possível de acervos históricos, o que envolveu a pesquisa em 90 acervos em vários estados brasileiros, a descrição e análise crítica das cerca de 950 fontes localizadas e a avaliação do nível de possibilidade de autoria de Castro Lobo para cada uma das obras catalogadas, uma vez que não foi indubitavelmente constatada a existência de autógrafos deste músico e nem localizada uma relação autografa, coeva ou autorizada de suas peças. A descrição das obras e documentos musicográficos foi realizada na forma de um catálogo crítico e temático, a partir da metodologia internacionalmente adotada para esse tipo de trabalho e fundamentada no estudo analítico de catálogos internacionais e brasileiros da obra de compositores. Além da aplicação das soluções mais eficazes que a bibliografia oferece para a solução de cada problema desta pesquisa, foi criado um sistema próprio de classificação do nível de possibilidade de autoria de cada composição catalogada, a partir da análise de evidências internas (das obras) e externas (das fontes), da pesquisa das informações históricas disponíveis e dos trabalhos já realizados sobre a música deste compositor. Considerando-se a impossibilidade de determinação das obras de autoria certa de João de Deus de Castro Lobo, em função da falta de documentos probatórios (especialmente os autógrafos musicográficos e relações autorizadas de suas obras), as conclusões técnicas do catálogo indicam a existência de 26 obras de autoria provável, 5 de autoria possível, 7 de autoria duvidosa, 14 de autoria improvável, duas obras resultantes de contrafação post- mortem e uma resultante de permutação post-mortem, tendo em vista que cada uma das obras catalogadas pode tratar-se de uma unidade cerimonial (a música para uma cerimônia completa) ou de uma unidade funcional (a música para cada uma das partes da cerimônia). As conclusões musicológicas, no entanto, são a menor existência de obras, documentos e evidências do que as expectativas que existiam na bibliografia a respeito, mas cujo estudo resultou na dissolução de falsas certezas e na primazia das informações verificáveis na documentação musicográfica e administrativa, em uma visão mais científica e realista, de aplicação mais eficaz no estudo das obras deste e de outros compositores brasileiros do passado.

"The religious musical production in São Paulo and Minas Gerais, in the eighteenth and nineteenth... more "The religious musical production in São Paulo and Minas Gerais, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, has been studied under the concept that particular styles were employed according to different regions and epochs. As evidenced by musical manuscripts found in São Paulo and Minas Gerais, this work will reveal the existence of a religious repertoire produced according to the stile antico. Although the repertoire was produced and/or copied during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it kept compositional techniques of Western European Music of the Renaissance (sixteenth century). The style of these religious compositions contrasts with the techniques used in the stile moderno, which derive from operatic and secular instrumental repertoires. Based on a survey of ten different library holdings, 145 stile-antico compositions have been analyzed in order to understand their main features, and their functional role regarding the musical religious practice in São Paulo and Minas Gerais during the periods understudied. Three types of music notation were identified, as well as several types of composition for the same ceremonial function. The conclusion will show that compositions denoting stile-antico techniques, produced mainly for Holy Week celebrations, are mostly found among copies with no indication of authorship, and the employment of those techniques, either in São Paulo or Minas Gerais, was not due to mere aesthetic alternatives, but out of respect to liturgical prescriptions. The sources consulted also present copies of other stile-antico compositions produced in Europe (mainly in Portugal) prior to the eighteenth century, since their functional role in Catholic ceremonies had still survived.
A produção musical religiosa em São Paulo e Minas Gerais, nos séculos XVIII e XIX, tem sido estudada a partir da concepção de que foram empregados estilos únicos em determinadas épocas e regiões. Neste trabalho pretende-se demonstrar a existência, em acervos paulistas e mineiros de manuscritos musicais, de obras religiosas em estilo antigo, que exibem a manutenção de técnicas composicionais da música renascentista européia (século XVI), mas foram produzidas e/ou copiadas nos séculos XVIII e XIX: suas características são contrastantes com as das obras em estilo moderno do mesmo período, que utilizam técnicas originárias da ópera e da música instrumental profana. Após um levantamento em dez acervos, foram descritas e estudadas cento e quarenta e cinco composições em estilo antigo, procurando-se compreender suas principais características e sua função na prática musical religiosa paulista e mineira desse período. Além de terem sido detectados três sistemas de notação musical e vários tipos de composição para a mesma função cerimonial, concluiu-se que o estilo antigo concentra-se em cópias sem indicação de autoria, principalmente destinadas à Semana Santa, e que este não foi utilizado, em São Paulo e Minas Gerais, como mera alternativa estética, mas sim como uma forma conservadora de respeito às prescrições litúrgicas. Por ainda possuírem função nas cerimônias católicas, também foram copiadas, nessa época, composições em estilo antigo produzidas na Europa (especialmente em Portugal), em período anterior ao século XVIII."

With the publication of volumes 4, 5 and 6, the series Music-Archival Patrimony of Minas Gerais (... more With the publication of volumes 4, 5 and 6, the series Music-Archival Patrimony of Minas Gerais (PAMM) takes forward the project launched at the end of 2006 by the Secretaria de Estado de Cultura de Minas Gerais. This project is devoted to the publication of music by composers from the state of Minas Gerais or closely related to Minas Gerais. That is, composers who have been deceased for over seventy years and whose music can be thus considered musical patrimony of Minas Gerais, having entered public domain in accordance with current Brazilian copyright laws (Law 9.610, of February 19, 1998, revoking Law 5.988, of December 14, 1973). The focus of this series, therefore, consists of works from the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries, by composers who lived all or part of their lives in Minas Gerais or whose works are extant in manuscripts or prints held in depositories in this state. The series prioritizes compositions that either have not been published or have been published in small quantities, or produced with criteria that no longer meet current demands. This is the case of the 77 works that make up the Coleção Música Sacra Mineira (Instituto Nacional de Música, Funarte, end of the 1970’s), except for twelve of these scores that were revised and re-released by Funarte in 2000 and again in 2002.
From a methodological point of view, the present series builds upon innovations from the project Acervo da Música Brasileira (Fundação Cultural e Educacional da Arquidiocese de Mariana, Petrobras, Santa Rosa Bureau Cultural, 2001-2003), such as the description of the sources consulted, the itemization of the editorial interventions (including the use of a critical apparatus), and the explanation of the editorial criteria. The present series is based on the methodology and the editorial experience developed in this previous project, while introducing several innovations of its own:
■ The examination of as many sources from as many depositories as possible, rather than prioritizing a single source from one depository.
■ The release of all accompanying texts, scores, and vocal/instrumental parts in a CD-ROM, annexed to each of the volumes.
■ The release of all accompanying texts, scores, and vocal/instrumental parts on the internet, on the page of the Secretaria de Estado de Cultura de Minas Gerais, at http://www.cultura.mg.gov.br/pamm/site.html
■ The inclusion of English translations in the printed volumes, on the CD-ROM, and on the webpage.
■ The selection of a repertoire that is not exclusively sacred or from the colonial period.
■ The inclusion of introductory texts by guest musicologists and historians discussing the composers’ lives and works, as well as their personal and professional milieus, respectively.
The series Music-Archival Patrimony of Minas Gerais, unlike other initiatives of this type, is being undertaken by the Secretaria de Cultura do Estado de Minas Gerais who, for the first time, fully recognizes the importance of editing and promoting the music composed in this state in previous centuries. In this respect, the laurels must go to the entrepreneurial vision of former Cultural Secretary Eleonora Santa Rosa, who initiated the project in 2006. It is now important that this series be continued with the edition of new works by new composers, considering the vast amount of music that cannot reach the public without efforts of a musicological and editorial kind. More than just locating, organizing, and cataloging musical holdings, as well as, following a recent international trend, making them available on the internet in facsimile format, works of music indispensably need to be edited in order to be effectively performed and appreciated.
As a general rule, the keepers and custodians of the depositories received this project enthusiastically and cooperated fully during the field research, going so far as to contact other depositories on our behalf and even to send us important information before and after our visit. For the first three volumes of the series, sixteen depositories were visited in the states of Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo, in 2007. For volumes 4, 5, and 6, thirteen others (two overseas) were additionally consulted, in 2008: Acervo de Aluízio José Viegas (São João del-Rei - MG), Arquivo do Cabido Metropolitano do Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Biblioteca da Fundação Robert Bosch (Gardiner - Germany), Biblioteca da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (RS), Biblioteca do Palácio da Ajuda (Lisbon - Portugal), Centro de Documentação Musical de Viçosa (MG), Biblioteca do Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil (Rio de Janeiro - RJ), Corporação Musical Nossa Senhora das Dores (Itapecerica - MG), Divisão de Música e Arquivo Sonoro da Biblioteca Nacional (Rio de Janeiro - RJ), Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros da Universidade de São Paulo (SP), Museu Imperial de Petrópolis (RJ), Seção de Música do Museu de História dos Salesianos no Brasil (São Paulo - SP), and Sociedade Euterpe Musical Itabirana (Itabira - MG). Out of the total of 29 depositories visited in 2007 and 2008, the ones represented in volumes 4, 5, and 6 are alphabetically listed as follows:
1. Acervo de Aluízio José Viegas (São João del-Rei - MG)
2. Arquivo do Cabido Metropolitano do Rio de Janeiro (RJ)
3. Arquivo Histórico Monsenhor Horta do Instituto de Ciências Humanas e Sociais da Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (Mariana - MG)
4. Biblioteca da Fundação Robert Bosch (Gardiner - Germany)
5. Biblioteca da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (RS)
6. Biblioteca do Palácio da Ajuda (Lisbon - Portugal)
7. Casa de Cultura de Santa Luzia (MG)
8. Divisão de Música e Arquivo Sonoro da Biblioteca Nacional (Rio de Janeiro - RJ)
9. Museu da Inconfidência de Ouro Preto (MG)
10. Museu da Música de Mariana (MG)
11. Museu Imperial de Petrópolis (RJ)
12. Orquestra Lira Sanjoanense (São João del-Rei - MG)
13. Orquestra Ribeiro Bastos (São João del-Rei - MG)
14. Sociedade Musical Santa Cecília de Sabará (MG)
Most of the works in volumes 4, 5, and 6 have been recorded in LP or CD. This is the case of the Kyrie/Gloria (but not the Credo/Sanctus/Benedictus/Agnus Dei) from the Mass and Credo in Five Voices by Antônio dos Santos Cunha. The Christmas Matins by João de Deus de Castro Lobo also have been recorded, as well as the Concertante Duets and a portion of the songs by Gabriel Fernandes da Trindade. However, none of these works have been edited, with the exception of the Invitatory of the Christmas Matins, as well as a few songs by Gabriel Fernandes da Trindade that reappeared in 20th-century editions after their original release in the mid-19th century. There were no previous efforts to publish Trindade’s songs in a comprehensive fashion, a determining factor in our decision to edit the composer’s complete works in volume 6 of this series. Volume 6 is thus comprised of Trindade’s 21 extant songs (of a total of 32 known by him), along with his three Concertante Duets. The decision to edit Trindade’s music, despite the existence of earlier initiatives (by no means impeditive to this project), resulted from the great repercussion that his works generated in the last decades and thus from the necessity to promote them as widely as possible by means of a musicological edition.
Each volume contains a Preface by a scholar of national and international renown, as well as the present Introduction by the project coordinator, common to volumes 4, 5, and 6. Two texts specifically conceived for each volume follow: the first text, by a guest musicologist, discusses the composer’s life and works, while the second, by a guest historian, examines the composer’s socio-historical milieu (except for volume 6, since the city of Vila Rica/Ouro Preto - MG has been already addressed in volume 2). The central part of the accompanying texts, entitled Work(s) Edited, discusses textual, historical, stylistic, and liturgical issues. The Editorial Considerations follow, explaining in detail the criteria used for editing the musical texts. A section called Lyrics and Translations (except for volume 6, whose lyrics are in Portuguese, not Latin) illuminates the significance and the structure of the works from a literary and/or ceremonial point of view. The most technical item, entitled Sources, provides a thorough description of all musical manuscripts and prints examined for each and every work. A sample of the sources in facsimile fashion precedes the scores, while the Critical Apparatus, at the end of each volume, meticulously itemizes the source readings before editorial intervention. The volumes include a CD-ROM with the scores and the vocal/instrumental parts in digital form, as well as all of the accompanying texts. This material, presented in high resolution, can be visualized and printed as well. Both online and on CD-ROM, volume 6 features additionally the complete facsimiles of the Concertante Duets, as well as an alternate edition of these Duets omitting the slurs, which are particularly inconsistent in the source, so that each performer can experiment with his or her own ideas without editorial influence.
A basic guideline of the series is to edit and prepare scores that are essentially ready for performance, but also to provide a view of the source contents that is as precise as possible. All extant sources were collated so that the authoritative readings could be accurately identified. A slow and painstaking process of revision and standardization of the edited scores took place, undertaken by Marcelo Campos Hazan and Leonardo Martinelli, also benefiting from the extensive collaboration of all editors and even musicians and scholars outside the project, duly cited in the acknowledgements.
Each volume presents one or more works by a specific composer. Represented in volumes 4, 5, and 6 are three composers who were active in the first half of the 19th century. Little is known about Antônio dos Santos Cunha (volume 4). He worked for about twenty years in São João del-Rei (MG), but his place of birth or death is not known, despite a strong possibility that he was Portuguese. João de Deus de Castro Lobo (volume 5), in turn, was born, worked, and died in Minas Gerais, while Gabriel Fernandes da Trindade (volume 6) was born in Ouro Preto (MG) but spent most of his life in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), where he died.

This is the case of the 77 works that make up the Coleção Música Sacra Mineira (Instituto Nacional de Música, Funarte, end of the 1970’s), except for twelve of these scores that were revised and re-released by Funarte in 2000 and again in 2002.
From a methodological point of view, the present series builds upon innovations from the project Acervo da Música Brasileira (Fundação Cultural e Educacional da Arquidiocese de Mariana, Petrobras, Santa Rosa Bureau Cultural, 2001-2003), such as the description of the sources consulted, the itemization of the editorial interventions (including the use of a critical apparatus), and the explanation of the editorial criteria. The present series is based on the methodology and the editorial experience developed in this previous project, while introducing several innovations of its own:
■ The examination of as many sources from as many depositories as possible, rather than prioritizing a single source from one depository.
■ The release of all accompanying texts, scores, and vocal/instrumental parts in a CD-ROM, annexed to each of the volumes.
■ The release of all accompanying texts, scores, and vocal/instrumental parts on the internet, on the page of the Secretaria de Estado de Cultura de Minas Gerais, at http://www.cultura.mg.gov.br/pamm/site.html
■ The inclusion of English translations in the printed volumes, on the CD-ROM, and on the webpage.
■ The selection of a repertoire that is not exclusively sacred or from the colonial period.
■ The inclusion of introductory texts by guest musicologists and historians discussing the composers’ lives and works, as well as their personal and professional milieus, respectively.
The series Music-Archival Patrimony of Minas Gerais, unlike other initiatives of this type, is being undertaken by the Secretaria de Cultura do Estado de Minas Gerais who, for the first time, fully recognizes the importance of editing and promoting the music composed in this state in previous centuries. In this respect, the laurels must go to the entrepreneurial vision of former Cultural Secretary Eleonora Santa Rosa, who initiated the project in 2006. It is now important that this series be continued with the edition of new works by new composers, considering the vast amount of music that cannot reach the public without efforts of a musicological and editorial kind. More than just locating, organizing, and cataloging musical holdings, as well as, following a recent international trend, making them available on the internet in facsimile format, works of music indispensably need to be edited in order to be effectively performed and appreciated.
As a general rule, the keepers and custodians of the depositories received this project enthusiastically and cooperated fully during the field research, going so far as to contact other depositories on our behalf and even to send us important information before and after our visit. For the first three volumes of the series, sixteen depositories were visited in the states of Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo, in 2007. For volumes 4, 5, and 6, thirteen others (two overseas) were additionally consulted, in 2008: Acervo de Aluízio José Viegas (São João del-Rei - MG), Arquivo do Cabido Metropolitano do Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Biblioteca da Fundação Robert Bosch (Gardiner - Germany), Biblioteca da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (RS), Biblioteca do Palácio da Ajuda (Lisbon - Portugal), Centro de Documentação Musical de Viçosa (MG), Biblioteca do Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil (Rio de Janeiro - RJ), Corporação Musical Nossa Senhora das Dores (Itapecerica - MG), Divisão de Música e Arquivo Sonoro da Biblioteca Nacional (Rio de Janeiro - RJ), Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros da Universidade de São Paulo (SP), Museu Imperial de Petrópolis (RJ), Seção de Música do Museu de História dos Salesianos no Brasil (São Paulo - SP), and Sociedade Euterpe Musical Itabirana (Itabira - MG). Out of the total of 29 depositories visited in 2007 and 2008, the ones represented in volumes 4, 5, and 6 are alphabetically listed as follows:
1. Acervo de Aluízio José Viegas (São João del-Rei - MG)
2. Arquivo do Cabido Metropolitano do Rio de Janeiro (RJ)
3. Arquivo Histórico Monsenhor Horta do Instituto de Ciências Humanas e Sociais da Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (Mariana - MG)
4. Biblioteca da Fundação Robert Bosch (Gardiner - Germany)
5. Biblioteca da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (RS)
6. Biblioteca do Palácio da Ajuda (Lisbon - Portugal)
7. Casa de Cultura de Santa Luzia (MG)
8. Divisão de Música e Arquivo Sonoro da Biblioteca Nacional (Rio de Janeiro - RJ)
9. Museu da Inconfidência de Ouro Preto (MG)
10. Museu da Música de Mariana (MG)
11. Museu Imperial de Petrópolis (RJ)
12. Orquestra Lira Sanjoanense (São João del-Rei - MG)
13. Orquestra Ribeiro Bastos (São João del-Rei - MG)
14. Sociedade Musical Santa Cecília de Sabará (MG)
Most of the works in volumes 4, 5, and 6 have been recorded in LP or CD. This is the case of the Kyrie/Gloria (but not the Credo/Sanctus/Benedictus/Agnus Dei) from the Mass and Credo in Five Voices by Antônio dos Santos Cunha. The Christmas Matins by João de Deus de Castro Lobo also have been recorded, as well as the Concertante Duets and a portion of the songs by Gabriel Fernandes da Trindade. However, none of these works have been edited, with the exception of the Invitatory of the Christmas Matins, as well as a few songs by Gabriel Fernandes da Trindade that reappeared in 20th-century editions after their original release in the mid-19th century. There were no previous efforts to publish Trindade’s songs in a comprehensive fashion, a determining factor in our decision to edit the composer’s complete works in volume 6 of this series. Volume 6 is thus comprised of Trindade’s 21 extant songs (of a total of 32 known by him), along with his three Concertante Duets. The decision to edit Trindade’s music, despite the existence of earlier initiatives (by no means impeditive to this project), resulted from the great repercussion that his works generated in the last decades and thus from the necessity to promote them as widely as possible by means of a musicological edition.
Each volume contains a Preface by a scholar of national and international renown, as well as the present Introduction by the project coordinator, common to volumes 4, 5, and 6. Two texts specifically conceived for each volume follow: the first text, by a guest musicologist, discusses the composer’s life and works, while the second, by a guest historian, examines the composer’s socio-historical milieu (except for volume 6, since the city of Vila Rica/Ouro Preto - MG has been already addressed in volume 2). The central part of the accompanying texts, entitled Work(s) Edited, discusses textual, historical, stylistic, and liturgical issues. The Editorial Considerations follow, explaining in detail the criteria used for editing the musical texts. A section called Lyrics and Translations (except for volume 6, whose lyrics are in Portuguese, not Latin) illuminates the significance and the structure of the works from a literary and/or ceremonial point of view. The most technical item, entitled Sources, provides a thorough description of all musical manuscripts and prints examined for each and every work. A sample of the sources in facsimile fashion precedes the scores, while the Critical Apparatus, at the end of each volume, meticulously itemizes the source readings before editorial intervention. The volumes include a CD-ROM with the scores and the vocal/instrumental parts in digital form, as well as all of the accompanying texts. This material, presented in high resolution, can be visualized and printed as well. Both online and on CD-ROM, volume 6 features additionally the complete facsimiles of the Concertante Duets, as well as an alternate edition of these Duets omitting the slurs, which are particularly inconsistent in the source, so that each performer can experiment with his or her own ideas without editorial influence.
A basic guideline of the series is to edit and prepare scores that are essentially ready for performance, but also to provide a view of the source contents that is as precise as possible. All extant sources were collated so that the authoritative readings could be accurately identified. A slow and painstaking process of revision and standardization of the edited scores took place, undertaken by Marcelo Campos Hazan and Leonardo Martinelli, also benefiting from the extensive collaboration of all editors and even musicians and scholars outside the project, duly cited in the acknowledgements.
Each volume presents one or more works by a specific composer. Represented in volumes 4, 5, and 6 are three composers who were active in the first half of the 19th century. Little is known about Antônio dos Santos Cunha (volume 4). He ...

This project is devoted to the publication of music by composers from the state of Minas Gerais or closely related to Minas Gerais. That is, composers who have been deceased for over seventy years and whose music can be thus considered musical patrimony of Minas Gerais, having entered public domain in accordance with current Brazilian copyright laws (Law 9.610, of February 19, 1998, revoking Law 5.988, of December 14, 1973). The focus of this series, therefore, consists of works from the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries, by composers who lived all or part of their lives in Minas Gerais or whose works are extant in manuscripts or prints held in depositories in this state. The series prioritizes compositions that either have not been published or have been published in small quantities, or produced with criteria that no longer meet current demands.

Após uma revisão dos anuários publicados entre 1906 e 2001 e dos censos e diagnósticos culturais nacionais (pelo IBGE) e estaduais (pelo governo de Minas Gerais), o trabalho visa compreender o conteúdo, a singularidade e o significado da relação de associações artísticas e recreativas incluída no Anuário Estatístico de 1921.

Além do esclarecimento de questões históricas referentes aos documentos e às pessoas envolvidas em sua produção e preservação, foram realizadas comparações entre o conteúdo dessas obras, além do confronto com outros compêndios musicais brasileiros, considerando-se as hipóteses de Jaime Diniz, segundo as quais, a Arte de música, de 1837, seria uma redução da Arte de solfejar de Tenório; e esta, por sua vez, teria sido construída a partir de informações da Arte de solfejar (1761) de Luís Álvares Pinto (1719-ca. 1789), manuscrito da Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal (Lisboa) publicado pelo mesmo musicólogo. As análises revelaram que a obra de Francisco Januário Tenório, na realidade, foi baseada no Músico e moderno sistema para solfejar sem confusão (1776), também escrito por Luís Álvares Pinto (manuscrito que pertence aos descendentes da família imperial brasileira, Petrópolis-RJ), obra que não chegou a ser conhecida por Jaime Diniz; e que a Arte de música de 1837 pode ter sido a primeira ou segunda edição da Arte de música ou Pequena arte de música de Cantuária, possivelmente lançada em 1836, com reedições anunciadas nos jornais pernambucanos de, pelo menos, 1853 a 1916.

Abstract: This chapter is intended to understand the history, content and meaning of two small works on theoretical music written in Recife (Brazil) in the first half of the 19th century, which belong to the Archaeological, Historical and Geographical Institute of Pernambuco (IAHGP): “Arte de solfejar” (1820s), by Francisco Januário Tenório (ca. 1770-between 1831-1835), and “Arte de Música” (1837), possibly written by Tomás da Cunha Lima Cantuária (1800-1878), documents whose existence was revealed by Jaime Cavalcanti Diniz in the third volume of Músicos pernambucanos do passado (1979). Besides the clarifying of historical facts regarding the documents and the people involved in their production and preservation, comparisons were made between the content of these works, in addition to comparisons with other Brazilian musical compendia, considering the hypotheses by Jaime Diniz, according to which, the “Arte de Música” of 1837 would be a reduction of “Arte de solfejar” by Francisco Januário Tenório, and this work would have been constructed from information of the manuscript “Arte de solfejar” (1761) by Luís Álvares Pinto (1719-ca. 1789), manuscript of the National Library of Portugal (Lisbon), published by the same musicologist. The analyzes revealed that “Arte de solfejar” by Francisco Januário Tenório was actually based on “Músico e moderno sistema para solfejar sem confusão” (1776), also written by Luís Álvares Pinto (manuscript that belongs to the descendants of the Brazilian imperial family, Petrópolis-RJ, Brazil), a work that was not known by Jaime Diniz; and that “Arte de música” of 1837 may have been the first or second edition of “Arte de música” or “Pequena arte de música” by Tomás da Cunha Lima Cantuária, possibly launched in 1836, with reprints announced in Pernambuco newspapers from at least 1853 to 1916.

Para isso, foram, inicialmente, realizados o exame físico e a reprodução fotográfica do documento na instituição custodiadora (o Centro de Memória Barão Homem de Mello de Pindamonhangaba-SP), seguidos da investigação de sua gênese, a partir das informações históricas disponíveis e da comparação com outras obras do mesmo autor e com livros semelhantes em língua portuguesa. O trabalho conclui que Música e musicistas foi a mais completa obra sobre o assunto até então escrita no Brasil, sendo, ainda hoje, uma fonte significativa para a pesquisa da atividade musical no país (especialmente no estado de São Paulo), por conta da inclusão de verbetes sobre muitos compositores e intérpretes que não foram considerados em publicações similares em língua portuguesa.

Public availability of a century-old manuscript: Música e Musicistas (1922), by José de Athayde Marcondes (1863-1924)
Abstract: The objective of this article is to present the manuscript Música e Musicistas (1922) by José de Athayde Marcondes (1863-1924), reevaluate its relevance for musicological research in contemporary times, and understand its significance within the panorama of Brazilian and Portuguese works on music published during Marcondes lifetime. To achieve this, the manuscript was first physically examined and photographed at the custodial institution (the Centro de Memória Barão Homem de Mello in Pindamonhangaba – SP). This was followed by an investigation into its origins, using available historical information and comparing it with other works by the same author and similar books in the Portuguese language. The study concludes that Música e Musicistas was the most complete work on the subject written in Brazil up to that point, and it remains a significant source for the research of the musical activity in Brazil, especially in the State of São Paulo, due to the inclusion of entries on many composers and performers not considered in similar publications in the Portuguese language.

Taking, as the research problem, the lack of previous works that had established precisely which works were actually written by João de Deus de Castro Lobo (Vila Rica, 03/08/1794 – Mariana, 01/26/1832), this thesis assumed the task to catalog the possible remaining compositions of this author, located in handwritten musicographic sources belonging to the largest possible number of historical collections, which involved research in 90 collections in several Brazilian states, the description and critical analysis of more than 950 found sources, and the evaluation of the possibility level of authorship by Castro Lobo for each of the cataloged works, since the existence of autographs of this musician was not unquestionably verified, nor was an autograph, coeval or authorized list of his pieces found. The description of the musicographic works and documents was carried out in the form of a critical and thematic catalogue, based on the internationally adopted methodology for this type of work and based on the analytical study of international and Brazilian catalogues of composer’s works. Besides the applying of the most effective solutions offered by the bibliography to solve each problem of this research, a system for classifying the level of possibility of authorship of each cataloged composition was created, based on the analysis of internal (of the works) and external (of the sources) evidence, on the research of available historical information and the works already carried out on the music by this composer. Considering the impossibility of determining the works of certain authorship by João de Deus de Castro Lobo, due to the lack of supporting documents (especially the musicographic autographs and authorized lists of his works), the technical conclusions of the catalog indicate the existence of 26 works of probable authorship, 5 of possible authorship, 7 of dubious authorship, 14 of improbable authorship, two works resulting from post-mortem contrafactum and one resulting from post-mortem permutation, considering that each of the cataloged works may be a ceremonial unit (the music for a complete ceremony) or a functional unit (the music for each part of the ceremony). The musicological conclusions, however, are the smaller existence of works, documents, and evidence than the expectations that existed in the bibliography about this author, but whose study resulted in the dissolution of false certainties and the primacy of verifiable information in musicographic and administrative documentation, in a more scientific and realistic vision, of more effective application in the study of the works by this and other Brazilian composers of the past.

Resumo. Adotando como problema da pesquisa a falta de trabalhos anteriores que tenham estabelecido com precisão quais foram as obras realmente escritas por João de Deus de Castro Lobo (Vila Rica, 08/03/1794 – Mariana, 26/01/1832), esta tese assumiu a tarefa de catalogar as possíveis composições remanescentes deste autor, localizadas em fontes musicográficas manuscritas pertencentes ao maior número possível de acervos históricos, o que envolveu a pesquisa em 90 acervos em vários estados brasileiros, a descrição e análise crítica das cerca de 950 fontes localizadas e a avaliação do nível de possibilidade de autoria de Castro Lobo para cada uma das obras catalogadas, uma vez que não foi indubitavelmente constatada a existência de autógrafos deste músico e nem localizada uma relação autografa, coeva ou autorizada de suas peças. A descrição das obras e documentos musicográficos foi realizada na forma de um catálogo crítico e temático, a partir da metodologia internacionalmente adotada para esse tipo de trabalho e fundamentada no estudo analítico de catálogos internacionais e brasileiros da obra de compositores. Além da aplicação das soluções mais eficazes que a bibliografia oferece para a solução de cada problema desta pesquisa, foi criado um sistema próprio de classificação do nível de possibilidade de autoria de cada composição catalogada, a partir da análise de evidências internas (das obras) e externas (das fontes), da pesquisa das informações históricas disponíveis e dos trabalhos já realizados sobre a música deste compositor. Considerando-se a impossibilidade de determinação das obras de autoria certa de João de Deus de Castro Lobo, em função da falta de documentos probatórios (especialmente os autógrafos musicográficos e relações autorizadas de suas obras), as conclusões técnicas do catálogo indicam a existência de 26 obras de autoria provável, 5 de autoria possível, 7 de autoria duvidosa, 14 de autoria improvável, duas obras resultantes de contrafação post- mortem e uma resultante de permutação post-mortem, tendo em vista que cada uma das obras catalogadas pode tratar-se de uma unidade cerimonial (a música para uma cerimônia completa) ou de uma unidade funcional (a música para cada uma das partes da cerimônia). As conclusões musicológicas, no entanto, são a menor existência de obras, documentos e evidências do que as expectativas que existiam na bibliografia a respeito, mas cujo estudo resultou na dissolução de falsas certezas e na primazia das informações verificáveis na documentação musicográfica e administrativa, em uma visão mais científica e realista, de aplicação mais eficaz no estudo das obras deste e de outros compositores brasileiros do passado.

As evidenced by musical manuscripts found in São Paulo and Minas Gerais, this work will reveal the existence of a religious repertoire produced according to the stile antico. Although the repertoire was produced and/or copied during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it kept compositional techniques of Western European Music of the Renaissance (sixteenth century). The style of these religious compositions contrasts with the techniques used in the stile moderno, which derive from operatic and secular instrumental repertoires. Based on a survey of ten different library holdings, 145 stile-antico compositions have been analyzed in order to understand their main features, and their functional role regarding the musical religious practice in São Paulo and Minas Gerais during the periods understudied. Three types of music notation were identified, as well as several types of composition for the same ceremonial function. The conclusion will show that compositions denoting stile-antico techniques, produced mainly for Holy Week celebrations, are mostly found among copies with no indication of authorship, and the employment of those techniques, either in São Paulo or Minas Gerais, was not due to mere aesthetic alternatives, but out of respect to liturgical prescriptions. The sources consulted also present copies of other stile-antico compositions produced in Europe (mainly in Portugal) prior to the eighteenth century, since their functional role in Catholic ceremonies had still survived.
A produção musical religiosa em São Paulo e Minas Gerais, nos séculos XVIII e XIX, tem sido estudada a partir da concepção de que foram empregados estilos únicos em determinadas épocas e regiões. Neste trabalho pretende-se demonstrar a existência, em acervos paulistas e mineiros de manuscritos musicais, de obras religiosas em estilo antigo, que exibem a manutenção de técnicas composicionais da música renascentista européia (século XVI), mas foram produzidas e/ou copiadas nos séculos XVIII e XIX: suas características são contrastantes com as das obras em estilo moderno do mesmo período, que utilizam técnicas originárias da ópera e da música instrumental profana. Após um levantamento em dez acervos, foram descritas e estudadas cento e quarenta e cinco composições em estilo antigo, procurando-se compreender suas principais características e sua função na prática musical religiosa paulista e mineira desse período. Além de terem sido detectados três sistemas de notação musical e vários tipos de composição para a mesma função cerimonial, concluiu-se que o estilo antigo concentra-se em cópias sem indicação de autoria, principalmente destinadas à Semana Santa, e que este não foi utilizado, em São Paulo e Minas Gerais, como mera alternativa estética, mas sim como uma forma conservadora de respeito às prescrições litúrgicas. Por ainda possuírem função nas cerimônias católicas, também foram copiadas, nessa época, composições em estilo antigo produzidas na Europa (especialmente em Portugal), em período anterior ao século XVIII."

With the publication of volumes 4, 5 and 6, the series Music-Archival Patrimony of Minas Gerais (... more With the publication of volumes 4, 5 and 6, the series Music-Archival Patrimony of Minas Gerais (PAMM) takes forward the project launched at the end of 2006 by the Secretaria de Estado de Cultura de Minas Gerais. This project is devoted to the publication of music by composers from the state of Minas Gerais or closely related to Minas Gerais. That is, composers who have been deceased for over seventy years and whose music can be thus considered musical patrimony of Minas Gerais, having entered public domain in accordance with current Brazilian copyright laws (Law 9.610, of February 19, 1998, revoking Law 5.988, of December 14, 1973). The focus of this series, therefore, consists of works from the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries, by composers who lived all or part of their lives in Minas Gerais or whose works are extant in manuscripts or prints held in depositories in this state. The series prioritizes compositions that either have not been published or have been published in small quantities, or produced with criteria that no longer meet current demands. This is the case of the 77 works that make up the Coleção Música Sacra Mineira (Instituto Nacional de Música, Funarte, end of the 1970’s), except for twelve of these scores that were revised and re-released by Funarte in 2000 and again in 2002.
From a methodological point of view, the present series builds upon innovations from the project Acervo da Música Brasileira (Fundação Cultural e Educacional da Arquidiocese de Mariana, Petrobras, Santa Rosa Bureau Cultural, 2001-2003), such as the description of the sources consulted, the itemization of the editorial interventions (including the use of a critical apparatus), and the explanation of the editorial criteria. The present series is based on the methodology and the editorial experience developed in this previous project, while introducing several innovations of its own:
■ The examination of as many sources from as many depositories as possible, rather than prioritizing a single source from one depository.
■ The release of all accompanying texts, scores, and vocal/instrumental parts in a CD-ROM, annexed to each of the volumes.
■ The release of all accompanying texts, scores, and vocal/instrumental parts on the internet, on the page of the Secretaria de Estado de Cultura de Minas Gerais, at http://www.cultura.mg.gov.br/pamm/site.html
■ The inclusion of English translations in the printed volumes, on the CD-ROM, and on the webpage.
■ The selection of a repertoire that is not exclusively sacred or from the colonial period.
■ The inclusion of introductory texts by guest musicologists and historians discussing the composers’ lives and works, as well as their personal and professional milieus, respectively.
The series Music-Archival Patrimony of Minas Gerais, unlike other initiatives of this type, is being undertaken by the Secretaria de Cultura do Estado de Minas Gerais who, for the first time, fully recognizes the importance of editing and promoting the music composed in this state in previous centuries. In this respect, the laurels must go to the entrepreneurial vision of former Cultural Secretary Eleonora Santa Rosa, who initiated the project in 2006. It is now important that this series be continued with the edition of new works by new composers, considering the vast amount of music that cannot reach the public without efforts of a musicological and editorial kind. More than just locating, organizing, and cataloging musical holdings, as well as, following a recent international trend, making them available on the internet in facsimile format, works of music indispensably need to be edited in order to be effectively performed and appreciated.
As a general rule, the keepers and custodians of the depositories received this project enthusiastically and cooperated fully during the field research, going so far as to contact other depositories on our behalf and even to send us important information before and after our visit. For the first three volumes of the series, sixteen depositories were visited in the states of Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo, in 2007. For volumes 4, 5, and 6, thirteen others (two overseas) were additionally consulted, in 2008: Acervo de Aluízio José Viegas (São João del-Rei - MG), Arquivo do Cabido Metropolitano do Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Biblioteca da Fundação Robert Bosch (Gardiner - Germany), Biblioteca da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (RS), Biblioteca do Palácio da Ajuda (Lisbon - Portugal), Centro de Documentação Musical de Viçosa (MG), Biblioteca do Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil (Rio de Janeiro - RJ), Corporação Musical Nossa Senhora das Dores (Itapecerica - MG), Divisão de Música e Arquivo Sonoro da Biblioteca Nacional (Rio de Janeiro - RJ), Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros da Universidade de São Paulo (SP), Museu Imperial de Petrópolis (RJ), Seção de Música do Museu de História dos Salesianos no Brasil (São Paulo - SP), and Sociedade Euterpe Musical Itabirana (Itabira - MG). Out of the total of 29 depositories visited in 2007 and 2008, the ones represented in volumes 4, 5, and 6 are alphabetically listed as follows:
1. Acervo de Aluízio José Viegas (São João del-Rei - MG)
2. Arquivo do Cabido Metropolitano do Rio de Janeiro (RJ)
3. Arquivo Histórico Monsenhor Horta do Instituto de Ciências Humanas e Sociais da Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (Mariana - MG)
4. Biblioteca da Fundação Robert Bosch (Gardiner - Germany)
5. Biblioteca da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (RS)
6. Biblioteca do Palácio da Ajuda (Lisbon - Portugal)
7. Casa de Cultura de Santa Luzia (MG)
8. Divisão de Música e Arquivo Sonoro da Biblioteca Nacional (Rio de Janeiro - RJ)
9. Museu da Inconfidência de Ouro Preto (MG)
10. Museu da Música de Mariana (MG)
11. Museu Imperial de Petrópolis (RJ)
12. Orquestra Lira Sanjoanense (São João del-Rei - MG)
13. Orquestra Ribeiro Bastos (São João del-Rei - MG)
14. Sociedade Musical Santa Cecília de Sabará (MG)
Most of the works in volumes 4, 5, and 6 have been recorded in LP or CD. This is the case of the Kyrie/Gloria (but not the Credo/Sanctus/Benedictus/Agnus Dei) from the Mass and Credo in Five Voices by Antônio dos Santos Cunha. The Christmas Matins by João de Deus de Castro Lobo also have been recorded, as well as the Concertante Duets and a portion of the songs by Gabriel Fernandes da Trindade. However, none of these works have been edited, with the exception of the Invitatory of the Christmas Matins, as well as a few songs by Gabriel Fernandes da Trindade that reappeared in 20th-century editions after their original release in the mid-19th century. There were no previous efforts to publish Trindade’s songs in a comprehensive fashion, a determining factor in our decision to edit the composer’s complete works in volume 6 of this series. Volume 6 is thus comprised of Trindade’s 21 extant songs (of a total of 32 known by him), along with his three Concertante Duets. The decision to edit Trindade’s music, despite the existence of earlier initiatives (by no means impeditive to this project), resulted from the great repercussion that his works generated in the last decades and thus from the necessity to promote them as widely as possible by means of a musicological edition.
Each volume contains a Preface by a scholar of national and international renown, as well as the present Introduction by the project coordinator, common to volumes 4, 5, and 6. Two texts specifically conceived for each volume follow: the first text, by a guest musicologist, discusses the composer’s life and works, while the second, by a guest historian, examines the composer’s socio-historical milieu (except for volume 6, since the city of Vila Rica/Ouro Preto - MG has been already addressed in volume 2). The central part of the accompanying texts, entitled Work(s) Edited, discusses textual, historical, stylistic, and liturgical issues. The Editorial Considerations follow, explaining in detail the criteria used for editing the musical texts. A section called Lyrics and Translations (except for volume 6, whose lyrics are in Portuguese, not Latin) illuminates the significance and the structure of the works from a literary and/or ceremonial point of view. The most technical item, entitled Sources, provides a thorough description of all musical manuscripts and prints examined for each and every work. A sample of the sources in facsimile fashion precedes the scores, while the Critical Apparatus, at the end of each volume, meticulously itemizes the source readings before editorial intervention. The volumes include a CD-ROM with the scores and the vocal/instrumental parts in digital form, as well as all of the accompanying texts. This material, presented in high resolution, can be visualized and printed as well. Both online and on CD-ROM, volume 6 features additionally the complete facsimiles of the Concertante Duets, as well as an alternate edition of these Duets omitting the slurs, which are particularly inconsistent in the source, so that each performer can experiment with his or her own ideas without editorial influence.
A basic guideline of the series is to edit and prepare scores that are essentially ready for performance, but also to provide a view of the source contents that is as precise as possible. All extant sources were collated so that the authoritative readings could be accurately identified. A slow and painstaking process of revision and standardization of the edited scores took place, undertaken by Marcelo Campos Hazan and Leonardo Martinelli, also benefiting from the extensive collaboration of all editors and even musicians and scholars outside the project, duly cited in the acknowledgements.
Each volume presents one or more works by a specific composer. Represented in volumes 4, 5, and 6 are three composers who were active in the first half of the 19th century. Little is known about Antônio dos Santos Cunha (volume 4). He worked for about twenty years in São João del-Rei (MG), but his place of birth or death is not known, despite a strong possibility that he was Portuguese. João de Deus de Castro Lobo (volume 5), in turn, was born, worked, and died in Minas Gerais, while Gabriel Fernandes da Trindade (volume 6) was born in Ouro Preto (MG) but spent most of his life in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), where he died.

Out of the total of 29 depositories visited in 2007 and 2008, the ones represented in volumes 4, 5, and 6 are alphabetically listed as follows:
1. Acervo de Aluízio José Viegas (São João del-Rei - MG)
2. Arquivo do Cabido Metropolitano do Rio de Janeiro (RJ)
3. Arquivo Histórico Monsenhor Horta do Instituto de Ciências Humanas e Sociais da Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (Mariana - MG)
4. Biblioteca da Fundação Robert Bosch (Gardiner - Germany)
5. Biblioteca da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (RS)
6. Biblioteca do Palácio da Ajuda (Lisbon - Portugal)
7. Casa de Cultura de Santa Luzia (MG)
8. Divisão de Música e Arquivo Sonoro da Biblioteca Nacional (Rio de Janeiro - RJ)
9. Museu da Inconfidência de Ouro Preto (MG)
10. Museu da Música de Mariana (MG)
11. Museu Imperial de Petrópolis (RJ)
12. Orquestra Lira Sanjoanense (São João del-Rei - MG)
13. Orquestra Ribeiro Bastos (São João del-Rei - MG)
14. Sociedade Musical Santa Cecília de Sabará (MG)
Most of the works in volumes 4, 5, and 6 have been recorded in LP or CD. This is the case of the Kyrie/Gloria (but not the Credo/Sanctus/Benedictus/Agnus Dei) from the Mass and Credo in Five Voices by Antônio dos Santos Cunha. The Christmas Matins by João de Deus de Castro Lobo also have been recorded, as well as the Concertante Duets and a portion of the songs by Gabriel Fernandes da Trindade. However, none of these works have been edited, with the exception of the Invitatory of the Christmas Matins, as well as a few songs by Gabriel Fernandes da Trindade that reappeared in 20th-century editions after their original release in the mid-19th century. There were no previous efforts to publish Trindade’s songs in a comprehensive fashion, a determining factor in our decision to edit the composer’s complete works in volume 6 of this series. Volume 6 is thus comprised of Trindade’s 21 extant songs (of a total of 32 known by him), along with his three Concertante Duets. The decision to edit Trindade’s music, despite the existence of earlier initiatives (by no means impeditive to this project), resulted from the great repercussion that his works generated in the last decades and thus from the necessity to promote them as widely as possible by means of a musicological edition.
Each volume contains a Preface by a scholar of national and international renown, as well as the present Introduction by the project coordinator, common to volumes 4, 5, and 6. Two texts specifically conceived for each volume follow: the first text, by a guest musicologist, discusses the composer’s life and works, while the second, by a guest historian, examines the composer’s socio-historical milieu (except for volume 6, since the city of Vila Rica/Ouro Preto - MG has been already addressed in volume 2). The central part of the accompanying texts, entitled Work(s) Edited, discusses textual, historical, stylistic, and liturgical issues. The Editorial Considerations follow, explaining in detail the criteria used for editing the musical texts. A section called Lyrics and Translations (except for volume 6, whose lyrics are in Portuguese, not Latin) illuminates the significance and the structure of the works from a literary and/or ceremonial point of view. The most technical item, entitled Sources, provides a thorough description of all musical manuscripts and prints examined for each and every work. A sample of the sources in facsimile fashion precedes the scores, while the Critical Apparatus, at the end of each volume, meticulously itemizes the source readings before editorial intervention. The volumes include a CD-ROM with the scores and the vocal/instrumental parts in digital form, as well as all of the accompanying texts. This material, presented in high resolution, can be visualized and printed as well. Both online and on CD-ROM, volume 6 features additionally the complete facsimiles of the Concertante Duets, as well as an alternate edition of these Duets omitting the slurs, which are particularly inconsistent in the source, so that each performer can experiment with his or her own ideas without editorial influence.
A basic guideline of the series is to edit and prepare scores that are essentially ready for performance, but also to provide a view of the source contents that is as precise as possible. All extant sources were collated so that the authoritative readings could be accurately identified. A slow and painstaking process of revision and standardization of the edited scores took place, undertaken by Marcelo Campos Hazan and Leonardo Martinelli, also benefiting from the extensive collaboration of all editors and even musicians and scholars outside the project, duly cited in the acknowledgements.
Each volume presents one or more works by a specific composer. Represented in volumes 4, 5, and 6 are three composers who were active in the first half of the 19th century. Little is known about Antônio dos Santos Cunha (volume 4). He worked for about twenty years in São João del-Rei (MG), but his place of birth or death is not known, despite a strong possibility that he was Portuguese. João de Deus de Castro Lobo (volume 5), in turn, was born, worked, and died in Minas Gerais, while Gabriel Fernandes da Trindade (volume 6) was born in Ouro Preto (MG) but spent most of his life in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), where he died.
With the publication of volumes 4, 5 and 6, the series Music-Archival Patrimony of Minas Gerais (... more With the publication of volumes 4, 5 and 6, the series Music-Archival Patrimony of Minas Gerais (PAMM) takes forward the project launched at the end of 2006 by the Secretaria de Estado de Cultura de Minas Gerais. This project is devoted to the publication of music by composers from the state of Minas Gerais or closely related to Minas Gerais. That is, composers who have been deceased for over seventy years and whose music can be thus considered musical patrimony of Minas Gerais, having entered public domain in accordance with current Brazilian copyright laws (Law 9.610, of February 19, 1998, revoking Law 5.988, of December 14, 1973). The focus of this series, therefore, consists of works from the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries, by composers who lived all or part of their lives in Minas Gerais or whose works are extant in manuscripts or prints held in depositories in this state. The series prioritizes compositions that either have not been published or have been published in small quantities, or produced with criteria that no longer meet current demands. This is the case of the 77 works that make up the Coleção Música Sacra Mineira (Instituto Nacional de Música, Funarte, end of the 1970’s), except for twelve of these scores that were revised and re-released by Funarte in 2000 and again in 2002.
From a methodological point of view, the present series builds upon innovations from the project Acervo da Música Brasileira (Fundação Cultural e Educacional da Arquidiocese de Mariana, Petrobras, Santa Rosa Bureau Cultural, 2001-2003), such as the description of the sources consulted, the itemization of the editorial interventions (including the use of a critical apparatus), and the explanation of the editorial criteria. The present series is based on the methodology and the editorial experience developed in this previous project, while introducing several innovations of its own:
■ The examination of as many sources from as many depositories as possible, rather than prioritizing a single source from one depository.
■ The release of all accompanying texts, scores, and vocal/instrumental parts in a CD-ROM, annexed to each of the volumes.
■ The release of all accompanying texts, scores, and vocal/instrumental parts on the internet, on the page of the Secretaria de Estado de Cultura de Minas Gerais, at http://www.cultura.mg.gov.br/pamm/site.html
■ The inclusion of English translations in the printed volumes, on the CD-ROM, and on the webpage.
■ The selection of a repertoire that is not exclusively sacred or from the colonial period.
■ The inclusion of introductory texts by guest musicologists and historians discussing the composers’ lives and works, as well as their personal and professional milieus, respectively.
The series Music-Archival Patrimony of Minas Gerais, unlike other initiatives of this type, is being undertaken by the Secretaria de Cultura do Estado de Minas Gerais who, for the first time, fully recognizes the importance of editing and promoting the music composed in this state in previous centuries. In this respect, the laurels must go to the entrepreneurial vision of former Cultural Secretary Eleonora Santa Rosa, who initiated the project in 2006. It is now important that this series be continued with the edition of new works by new composers, considering the vast amount of music that cannot reach the public without efforts of a musicological and editorial kind. More than just locating, organizing, and cataloging musical holdings, as well as, following a recent international trend, making them available on the internet in facsimile format, works of music indispensably need to be edited in order to be effectively performed and appreciated.
As a general rule, the keepers and custodians of the depositories received this project enthusiastically and cooperated fully during the field research, going so far as to contact other depositories on our behalf and even to send us important information before and after our visit. For the first three volumes of the series, sixteen depositories were visited in the states of Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo, in 2007.

A section called Lyrics and Translations (except for volume 6, whose lyrics are in Portuguese, not Latin) illuminates the significance and the structure of the works from a literary and/or ceremonial point of view. The most technical item, entitled Sources, provides a thorough description of all musical manuscripts and prints examined for each and every work. A sample of the sources in facsimile fashion precedes the scores, while the Critical Apparatus, at the end of each volume, meticulously itemizes the source readings before editorial intervention. The volumes include a CD-ROM with the scores and the vocal/instrumental parts in digital form, as well as all of the accompanying texts. This material, presented in high resolution, can be visualized and printed as well. Both online and on CD-ROM, volume 6 features additionally the complete facsimiles of the Concertante Duets, as well as an alternate edition of these Duets omitting the slurs, which are particularly inconsistent in the source, so that each performer can experiment with his or her own ideas without editorial influence.
A basic guideline of the series is to edit and prepare scores that are essentially ready for performance, but also to provide a view of the source contents that is as precise as possible. All extant sources were collated so that the authoritative readings could be accurately identified. A slow and painstaking process of revision and standardization of the edited scores took place, undertaken by Marcelo Campos Hazan and Leonardo Martinelli, also benefiting from the extensive collaboration of all editors and even musicians and scholars outside the project, duly cited in the acknowledgements.
Each volume presents one or more works by a specific composer. Represented in volumes 4, 5, and 6 are three composers who were active in the first half of the 19th century. Little is known about Antônio dos Santos Cunha (volume 4). He ...

Além do esclarecimento de questões históricas referentes aos documentos e às pessoas envolvidas em sua produção e preservação, foram realizadas comparações entre o conteúdo dessas obras, além do confronto com outros compêndios musicais brasileiros, considerando-se as hipóteses de Jaime Diniz, segundo as quais, a Arte de música, de 1837, seria uma redução da Arte de solfejar de Tenório; e esta, por sua vez, teria sido construída a partir de informações da Arte de solfejar (1761) de Luís Álvares Pinto (1719-ca. 1789), manuscrito da Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal (Lisboa) publicado pelo mesmo musicólogo. As análises revelaram que a obra de Francisco Januário Tenório, na realidade, foi baseada no Músico e moderno sistema para solfejar sem confusão (1776), também escrito por Luís Álvares Pinto (manuscrito que pertence aos descendentes da família imperial brasileira, Petrópolis-RJ), obra que não chegou a ser conhecida por Jaime Diniz; e que a Arte de música de 1837 pode ter sido a primeira ou segunda edição da Arte de música ou Pequena arte de música de Cantuária, possivelmente lançada em 1836, com reedições anunciadas nos jornais pernambucanos de, pelo menos, 1853 a 1916.

Title. The permanence of Luís Álvares Pinto’s (1719-ca. 1789) heptachordal solfeggio in two 19th century Pernambuco music “arts”
Abstract: This chapter is intended to understand the history, content and meaning of two small works on theoretical music written in Recife (Brazil) in the first half of the 19th century, which belong to the Archaeological, Historical and Geographical Institute of Pernambuco (IAHGP): “Arte de solfejar” (1820s), by Francisco Januário Tenório (ca. 1770-between 1831-1835), and “Arte de Música” (1837), possibly written by Tomás da Cunha Lima Cantuária (1800-1878), documents whose existence was revealed by Jaime Cavalcanti Diniz in the third volume of Músicos pernambucanos do passado (1979). Besides the clarifying of historical facts regarding the documents and the people involved in their production and preservation, comparisons were made between the content of these works, in addition to comparisons with other Brazilian musical compendia, considering the hypotheses by Jaime Diniz, according to which, the “Arte de Música” of 1837 would be a reduction of “Arte de solfejar” by Francisco Januário Tenório, and this work would have been constructed from information of the manuscript “Arte de solfejar” (1761) by Luís Álvares Pinto (1719-ca. 1789), manuscript of the National Library of Portugal (Lisbon), published by the same musicologist. The analyzes revealed that “Arte de solfejar” by Francisco Januário Tenório was actually based on “Músico e moderno sistema para solfejar sem confusão” (1776), also written by Luís Álvares Pinto (manuscript that belongs to the descendants of the Brazilian imperial family, Petrópolis-RJ, Brazil), a work that was not known by Jaime Diniz; and that “Arte de música” of 1837 may have been the first or second edition of “Arte de música” or “Pequena arte de música” by Tomás da Cunha Lima Cantuária, possibly launched in 1836, with reprints announced in Pernambuco newspapers from at least 1853 to 1916.

Para isso, foram, inicialmente, realizados o exame físico e a reprodução fotográfica do documento na instituição custodiadora (o Centro de Memória Barão Homem de Mello de Pindamonhangaba-SP), seguidos da investigação de sua gênese, a partir das informações históricas disponíveis e da comparação com outras obras do mesmo autor e com livros semelhantes em língua portuguesa. O trabalho conclui que Música e musicistas foi a mais completa obra sobre o assunto até então escrita no Brasil, sendo, ainda hoje, uma fonte significativa para a pesquisa da atividade musical no país (especialmente no estado de São Paulo), por conta da inclusão de verbetes sobre muitos compositores e intérpretes que não foram considerados em publicações similares em língua portuguesa.

Public availability of a century-old manuscript: Música e Musicistas (1922), by José de Athayde Marcondes (1863-1924)
Abstract: The objective of this article is to present the manuscript Música e Musicistas (1922) by José de Athayde Marcondes (1863-1924), reevaluate its relevance for musicological research in contemporary times, and understand its significance within the panorama of Brazilian and Portuguese works on music published during Marcondes lifetime. To achieve this, the manuscript was first physically examined and photographed at the custodial institution (the Centro de Memória Barão Homem de Mello in Pindamonhangaba – SP). This was followed by an investigation into its origins, using available historical information and comparing it with other works by the same author and similar books in the Portuguese language. The study concludes that Música e Musicistas was the most complete work on the subject written in Brazil up to that point, and it remains a significant source for the research of the musical activity in Brazil, especially in the State of São Paulo, due to the inclusion of entries on many composers and performers not considered in similar publications in the Portuguese language.

Esta comunicação visa apresentar um breve histórico e a situação atual da coleção musicográfica do antigo Conservatório Dramático e Musical de São Paulo (1906-2006), declarada de utilidade pública por meio do Decreto do Município de São Paulo no 47.080, de 14 de março de 2006, e oficializada como patrimônio da Fundação Theatro Municipal de São Paulo por meio da Lei Municipal no 15.380, de 27 de maio de 2011, bem como o atual projeto para a organização, codificação e inventariação emergencial da Seção A, já higienizada e acondicionada, ainda que de forma provisória, em 506 caixas-arquivo e 66 pacotes, no Centro de Documentação e Memória do Complexo Theatro Municipal de São Paulo, à Praça das Artes (Avenida São João, 281). Também será apresentada a situação da Seção B, recolhida ao mesmo Centro de Memória por meio de um Termo de Entrega de Bens de 9 de abril de 2015 e provisoriamente disposta em 328 caixas de grande formato e 198 pacotes de medidas diversas, ainda em tratativas para futuro processamento. A relevância do projeto está no grande significado do acervo para o patrimônio histórico-musical paulista e brasileiro, tendo em vista não apenas a acumulação de documentos musicográficos impressos, destinados ao uso corrente por parte dos estudantes, mas também as inúmeras doações de documentos impressos ou manuscritos e acervos inteiros por bandas, ex-alunos, compositores ou suas famílias. Para as ações previstas foi celebrado um convênio entre a Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), a Fundação Theatro Municipal de São Paulo e a Sustenidos Organização Social de Cultura, que atualmente administra as atividades educacionais e artísticas da referida Fundação.

Abstract. This work presents a brief history and the current situation of the musicographic collection of the extinct Dramatic and Musical Conservatory of São Paulo (1906-2006), declared of public utility through the Decree of the Municipality of São Paulo n. 47,080, of March 14, 2006, and made official property of São Paulo Municipal Theater Foundation, through Municipal Law n. 15,380, of May 27, 2011, as well as the current project for the organization, coding and emergency inventory of Section A, already sanitized and provisionally conditioned in 506 file boxes and 66 packages, in the Documentation and Memory Center of the Municipal Theater of São Paulo, at Praça das Artes (Avenida São João, 281). It will be also presented the situation of Section B, transferred to the same Memory Center through a document of April 9, 2015 and provisionally arranged in 328 large-format boxes and 198 packages of different measures, still under negotiation for future processing. The relevance of the project lies in the great significance of the collection for the historical-musical heritage of São Paulo and Brazil, considering not only the accumulation of printed musicographic documents, intended for current use by students, but also the numerous donations of printed documents or manuscripts and entire collections, by bands, alumni, composers or their families. For the planned actions, an agreement was signed between São Paulo State University (UNESP), São Paulo Municipal Theater Foundation, and Sustenidos Social Organization of Culture, which currently manages the educational and artistic activities of the mentioned Foundation.

Abstract. This article studies the meaning of the concept of musical heritage, and its relationship with the official concepts of historical, artistic and cultural heritage (material or immaterial) established in Brazilian law, and the concept of documental or archival heritage, implicit in the Brazilian law for public and private archives. For this purpose, the three major types of musical heritage are analyzed, according to the three dimensions of musical knowledge (1 - musical phenomenon; 2 - notation, recording or programming; 3 - physical musical document), corresponding to the three dimensions of knowledge (1 - ontic; 2 - epistemic; 3 - documentary), established by Claudio Gnoli (2012), also supported by the concepts of corpus mysticum and corpus mechanicum. The conclusions leads to the artificiality of separating musical heritage into material and immaterial, and to the need for more integrated actions in relation to its three types, aiming at broader results for the knowledge, protection and dissemination of this kind of heritage.

Foi somente a partir de uma proposta de Friedrich Chrysander em 1863, que a musicologia comecou a ser tratada como metodo cientifico, em igualdade com outras disciplinas cientificas. Em 1885 Guido Adler codificou os ramos da musicologia, tabulando sua essencia, seus metodos e propondo sua divisao em musicologia historica e musicologia sistematica. No sec. XX, a musicologia separou-se da etnomusicologia, a segunda definida como “o estudo da musica na cultura” (Allan P. Merriam, 1964), e responsabilizando-se a primeira pelo estudo da materia musical em si. Em reacao a sua configuracao positivista, entretanto, surgiu a partir da decada de 1970 uma musicologia mais interpretativa, assim como novas propostas de divisao de seus ramos, sendo hoje reconhecidas pelo menos nove vertentes metodologicas, de acordo com Duckles (1980): 1) metodo historico; 2) metodo teorico e analitico; 3) critica textual; 4) pesquisa arquivistica; 5) lexicografia e terminologia; 6) organologia e iconografia; 7) praticas interpretativas; 8) estetica e critica; 9) danca e historia da danca. Este trabalho tem como objetivos abordar cada uma das propostas metodologicas da musicologia, com algumas informacoes sobre o seu desenvolvimento historico, bem como apresentar uma rapida apreciacao do estagio de desenvolvimento dessas atividades no Brasil.

Este trabalho apresenta os principais problemas enfrentados no levantamento de fontes e no estabelecimento da autoria de cada composição no catálogo de obras de João de Deus de Castro Lobo (Ouro Preto, 1794-Mariana, 1832), mestre de capela da Catedral de Mariana (MG) de 1825 até sua morte. A partir do estudo de normas internacionais de catalogação da obra de compositores e de catálogos referenciais da música sacra de compositores específicos, foi realizada a consulta, descrição e análise de mais de 900 fontes manuscritas em acervos de 90 instituições brasileiras, constatando-se o quase total desaparecimento dos seus autógrafos e a existência de cópias de tradição das mesmas obras com três tipos de indicação de autoria: 1) de João de Deus de Castro Lobo; 2) de vários outros compositores; 3) sem nenhuma indicação de autoria. Distinguindo “indicação de autoria” de “atribuição de autoria” e do “estabelecimento de autoria”, o trabalho demonstra a impossibilidade de se determinar com segurança a relação das obras efetivamente escritas por João de Deus de Castro Lobo, e não propõe a catalogação das “obras completas desse autor”, mas sim de suas “possíveis composições remanescentes”, por meio da classificação de cada obra catalogada em um dos sete níveis de possibilidade de autoria, formulados para incluir todos os casos constatados ao longo da pesquisa.

Abstract. The musical archive of João Antônio Romão (1878 or 1880 - 1972), under technical processing at Institute of Arts, UNESP, for accrual to the Historical Archive of Pindamonhangaba (SP), was arranged in 23 series, the first one constituted of sources related to three distinct phases of Catholic music: 1) Tridentine repertoire from the late eighteenth century to the early twentieth century; 2) restored repertoire of the first half of the 20th century; 3) conciliar repertoire of the 1960s and 1970s. This work is intended to present a brief report on the processing of the archive, as well as the results of the first investigations on its forms of accumulation, the repertoire, and some of the musical practices related to the three phases represented in this archive, based on the contributions of Josefa Montero García (2008) and Jon Bagüés (2008).

The purpose of the comparison, and therefore of the work, is to identify the probable origin of this chant’s melody, starting from the investigation of many chant books that may served as a source for this compilation: Mercedarians, Tridentines (roman or portuguese), or dominicans books. The conclusion contributes to the hypothesis that this chant book can be considered an example of “romanization” of the Mercedarian rite in Amazonia of the 18th century.

La historia de Arquímedes sirve como ejemplo de una de las situaciones que vivimos en la investigación musicológica en actualidad, especialmente en América Latina, donde no tenemos recursos ilimitados para dedicarnos a nuestras reflexiones teóricas e históricas, olvidando las necesidades sociales que han crecido en las últimas décadas con el aumento de la distancia económica entre ricos y pobres. ¿La gestión de fondos musicales, la edición y grabación de obras antiguas, la investigación musicológica y la reflexión histórica solo serán posibles alejadas de las necesidades de la mayor parte de la población en nuestro continente? ¿Sería posible tener en cuenta dichas necesidades en nuestros proyectos?

Alma Latina aborda, criticamente, a música dos séculos XVI, XVII e XVIII composta nas Américas para a cristianização e unificação cultural do Novo Mundo.
A série também discute a utilização atual da música feita para a unificação cultural do Novo Mundo: entre as possibilidades extremas e mais frequentes – a visão museológica, com a mera apresentação das obras em concertos, e a visão anticolonialista, com seu total esquecimento, por simbolizar as crueldades daquela época – Alma Latina procura uma nova maneira de ouvir e de se relacionar com esse patrimônio histórico-musical da humanidade.

A Orquestra Ribeiro Bastos é um grupo musical amador em atividade na cidade de São João del-Rei (... more A Orquestra Ribeiro Bastos é um grupo musical amador em atividade na cidade de São João del-Rei (MG). Possui um arquivo musical composto por fontes musicográficas dos séculos XIX, XX e XXI, organizado após a década de 1970. O sistema de arranjo utilizado não considerou a idade das fontes, não separou o repertório em uso do repertório em desuso e não garantiu uma preservação específica para fontes com importância histórica. Castagna e Meyer (2017) demonstraram a aplicabilidade da Teoria das Três Idades de Ives Pérotin (1961) em fontes musicais; todavia algumas particularidades desse arquivo devem ser consideradas tendo em vista que qualquer fonte pode, potencialmente, ser levada à estante para performance. Neste trabalho, propomos critérios para a separação das fontes musicográficas do arquivo da Orquestra Ribeiro Bastos seguindo a teoria das três idades.

A partir do estudo de normas internacionais de catalogação da obra de compositores e de catálogos referenciais da música sacra de compositores específicos, foi realizada a consulta, descrição e análise de mais de 900 fontes manuscritas em acervos de 90 instituições brasileiras, constatando-se o quase total desaparecimento dos seus autógrafos e a existência de cópias de tradição das mesmas obras com três tipos de indicação de autoria: 1) de João de Deus de Castro Lobo; 2) de vários outros compositores; 3) sem nenhuma indicação de autoria. Distinguindo “indicação de autoria” de “atribuição de autoria” e do “estabelecimento de autoria”, o trabalho demonstra a impossibilidade de se determinar com segurança a relação das obras efetivamente escritas por João de Deus de Castro Lobo, e não propõe a catalogação das “obras completas desse autor”, mas sim de suas “possíveis composições remanescentes”, por meio da classificação de cada obra catalogada em um dos sete níveis de possibilidade de autoria, formulados para incluir todos os casos constatados ao longo da pesquisa.

O objetivo geral da investigação doutoral é compreender por que e de que modo o frei comendador do Convento do Pará entre os anos de 1777 e 1782, João da Veiga Tenório, compilou um cantoral em dois volumes para uso naquele convento, visto que já existiam publicações mercedárias homônimas anteriores (1701, 1770), impressas na Espanha. A hipótese levantada ao longo da investigação é de que os mercedários do Pará estavam passando por uma reforma que incluía a romanização da sua liturgia, e portanto, de seu repertório de cantochão.
Embora as investigações apontem para a adaptação das melodias para aquelas presentes nos livros tridentinos, em especial o Theatro Ecclesiastico de Frei Domingos do Rosário, os dois volumes de cantorais paraenses apresentam repertórios para cerimônias de santos mercedários que não faziam parte do martirológio romano, e cujo repertório, portanto, não é encontrado em livros tridentinos. Tudo indica que tais melodias podem ter origem espanhola, pois estão presentes nos cantorais mercedários ali impressos.

Após uma revisão dos anuários publicados entre 1906 e 2001 e dos censos e diagnósticos culturais nacionais (pelo IBGE) e estaduais (pelo governo de Minas Gerais), o trabalho visa compreender o conteúdo, a singularidade e o significado da relação de associações artísticas e recreativas incluída no Anuário Estatístico de 1921.
