Entre lo moderno y lo antiguo: La obra “Entreverao” de Guafa Trio para formato de cámara mixto con saxofón soprano solista.

Abstract

The present degree project contemplates a study of the musical currents that inspired teachers Ignacio Ramos, Leonardo Gómez Jattin, y Armando González (Guafa Trio) in his composition of the work Entreverao, a six by right (rhythm derived from the musical form of Joropo) which, among its various compositions, compiles unusual melodic and harmonic elements that can be classified as revolutionary for the genre, from the implementation of Jazz harmonies to the new Colombian music that has taken shape so far in the 21st century. The main objective of this project is to understand and delve deeper into the elements of creation and interpretation of this work. In this regard, we found background information that allows us to trace research that, in one way or another, aligns with this investigation. For this purpose, we focused on interviews and digital archives that showcase the wide variety of rhythms characteristic of the music of the Colombian Orinoquía region. Our approach for this work will include exploring the creator's conception of the work in order to achieve a representation as close as possible to the final version we developed in this research. To carry out this musical exploration, a qualitative methodological design based on research-creation was used, with its phases: triggering sensation and plastic conformation. This seeks to address the main question of this work and gather information that can enrich the study of the music of the Colombian-Venezuelan Orinoquía region. The expected results are contemplated in a final product, which is determined in a document that compiles the melodic and harmonic analysis of the work Entreverao, in such a way that the styles used by Guafa Trio can be recognized. It can then be performed with the soprano saxophone as a soloist, in an adaptation for a mixed format. Finally, it is concluded that this research is a significant contribution to the information base for Colombian music.
