Transcripción de piano a guitarra y ejecución de seis obras representativas del pasillo ecuatoriano

Abstract

The present work is focused on the process of transcribing six guitar pieces of our Musical genres, Ecuadorian Pasillo, which constitutes the best referent of the music in our country; performing a harmonic, melodic and structural analysis. This technical work respects the structure, harmony, rhythm, contrapuntal movements, nuances and forms of execution typical of each original musical piece. In addition, it is intended that the technique used in the guitar to be visualized and that the result of this transcription can be used as study material for students of intermediate level. On the other hand, it is necessary to know the history of the Ecuadorian Pasillo, especially the most important aspects such as, where the genre came from, its arrival in Ecuador and how it was established and achieved to become a musical symbol characteristic of our country. It is necessary to emphasize that the creation of the Conservatory of Music in Quito has formed over the years great authors, composers and interpreters dedicated to the study and diffusion of the Ecuadorian Pasillo. The evolution of the guitar is marked over time by many similar instruments, such as the zither, the lute, the mandolin, vihuela, etc. Finally, in the year 1760, Fray Miguel Garcia known as “Padre Basilio” presented for first time a six-string guitar. Since then, this instrument has been well received in many countries around the world like Ecuador.
