The work hereby with the title Análisis formal de la obra Raíces del compositor ecuatoriano Cristian Orozco, focuses on a detailed study of Orozco's musical piece. The main objective of this work is to analyze the formal structure of the piece in order to identify the musical and extra musical elements used and their function in the composition. The analysis of this work encompasses the formal structure, the musical language and the interpretation of the analyzed piece by Orozco. The structure of this work is studied and three main sections are recognized: introduction, development and conclusion. In the same way, the role of different musical elements used around the piece, including harmony, melody and rhythm, have been studied to establish their function in the composition. Finally, the contribution to the performance of the work is analyzed and interpretative ideas are suggested to adapt this piece written for a five-octave marimba to a four-octave marimba. Given that access to an instrument with the characteristics required on the piece is far within reach of most of the interpreters, performance ideas are discussed in order to adapt this piece written for a five-octave marimba to a four-octave marimba. Some of these resources include the exchange of voices, the change to the upper octave of certain fragments and the substitution or omission of some notes within chords and scales.

Elaboración de una guía técnica interpretativa para la ejecución del concierto de vibráfono N# 1 de Ney Rosauro
(2020-01-17) Nivelo Vega, José Luis; Escudero Uchuari, Manuel Alejandro
The musical interpretation is the art of explaining a composition written in a score and transforming it into a sound language. This process, exposed by a performer, requires several cognitive and methodological techniques for the work to be read, understood, analyzed, and finally, executed. However, not all interpreters possess such instruction or, at least, overlook certain essential elements for a composition to be exhibited as conceived by its creator. That is why, in this study, an interpretive guide is written to perform the Ney Rosauro # 1 vibraphone concert.
