Arreglos de dos yaravíes ecuatorianos con técnicas modernas para dúo de bajos eléctricos

Abstract

The yaraví is one of the most emblematic and typical genres of Ecuador. This degree work has as an objective the realization of scores to highlight the musical cultural identity through a mixture between the modern, as the electric bass and the own as the yaraví, analyzing in depth each specific characteristic of the yaraví as the metric, structure, technique of interpretation in electric bass; in addition to a deep analysis of each arrangement of electric bass duet. The first chapter deals with the generalities of the yaraví, its history, meter, tempo and structure, presenting a section of Ecuadorian yaravíes, exemplifying its importance and exposing the most important of the genre. Subsequently, the yaravíes Puñales and Momentos de tristura are analyzed. The selection of these themes is a critical point in this work, each arrangement will work with a different instrumentation and this allows to have a variety of sonorities that we tried to preserve in the arrangements for electric bass. Puñales has only two guitars and vocals. Momentos de tristura, on the other hand, has two guitars, violin, piano and vocals. For the first piece, a piano score by Fidel Pablo Guerrero was recorded, from which musical resources were extracted and used in chapter 2 in the electric bass duet arrangement. In the yaraví, Momentos de tristura, a different way of analysis was used, because an audio was extracted from the recording of Momentos de tristura by the duo Benítez y Valencia.
