| Summary: | The foundation of the Royal Chapei of Music in Rio de Janeiro by Prince D.João, in 1808, was the greatest transformation within the musical panorama in colonial Brazil. This Music Chapei in Brazilian soil, built after the Chapei of Lisbon's model, had at its service over a hundred musicians, both Brazilian and Portuguese and even some Italian "castratti''. This was a unique case in all the Americas of that time. Both the expression possibilities and the stylistc influences of a musical ensemble of such magnitude were immediate. They were revealed in the musical language of Brazilian composer José Maurício Nunes Garcia, the institution's Master of Music from 1808 to 1811.His work undergoes a transitional period in which some old 18th century practices were transformed in order to meet the new possibilites and aesthetical demands.The most important work for this transitional moment is his "Mass of Conception for December 8th, 1810''. lt will set the model for his new style. The present essay focuses the change of this 18th century music to a new 19th language where José Maurício Nunes Garcia will show the transformations and new stylistic influences for this music more modern and operatic. |
