Realización de tres composiciones para coro basadas en ritmos tradicionales ecuatorianos

Abstract

The present research project aims to create three compositions inspired by traditional Ecuadorian genres such as sanjuanito, danzante, and yaraví. These compositions will be intended for performance in a choral or vocal quartet a cappella format. To do so, I begin with a descriptive analysis of the antecedents of Ecuadorian Traditional Music, which gives rise to a brief overview of the usual uses of music by the inhabitants of the territory that we now identify as Ecuador; this will allow us to understand the character and intention of the works. Next, we continue with a description of the harmonic, rhythmic and melodic compositional techniques that have been used in the elaboration of the compositions. Therefore, there is a descriptive and comparative analysis of the works, which will show the author's research and creative work from a technical perspective. Finally, the product that has been reached after the research process is shown, which consists of the definitive scores of the three compositions, identified as Sanjuanito Opus 1, Danzante Opus 1 and Yaraví Opus 1.
