Donde musica hubiere, cosa mala no existiere: uma collage do Concerto Vox Chorum do Coral UFPel.

Abstract

This work aims to contribute to the understanding of the choral experience for the process of formation of this artist-educator-researcher. To this end, it aims to analyze the conception process of the VOX CHORUM Concert, performed by the UFPel Choir in 2018, as a reflection medium to the .contemporary cultural critic (state of new barbarism). The research methodology has a central contribution in Walter Benjamin's contributions, using surrealist collage as the main technical procedure. The philosophy of writing is therefore based on the overlapping of fragments, the constellation of historical images, and allegorical and imagetical writing. The theoretical and methodological effort is made by the search for recovery of the narrative experience and the reenchantment of the word through the poetics and the rescue of the unprecedented dimension and the meanings lost by the communicational and utilitarian use of language. All this driven by the hypothesis that it is necessary to create a "shock" strong enough to produce the awakening of the dream state in which we are immersed. A state of feeling of permanence of the catastrophe, or of a new or renewed barbarism.The product of the work will be shown through two movements: a first one is the written text, where the narrative takes place in experience and, in a second movement where, through music, another narrative enchantment takes place. Between the two movements, the proposal is to establish a narrative correspondence. Therefore, it is not about illustration, but about enabling the narrative experience through writing and music. The end result of the process as a "concert" is shown through a musical triptych, DREAMREMEMORATION- AWAKENING, the Vox Chorum Concert, which has a program structured by the constellations of dream and awakening, connected by the process of rememoration. The songs, by the concert, are like quotes or pearls collected from the deepest ocean of music. A treasure collected and presented to the public as a precious sound mosaic, devoid of market value, freed from a use value and based only on the emotional value of the music, the song that persists, insists and resists.
