Três obras para o Conjunto de Percussão da UFBA, o primeiro grupo de percussão do Brasil

Abstract

The 20th century was a period of experimentation for percussive music. The first percussion groups were created with their own authorial composition. It is possible to observe the introduction of musical elements that innovated classical percussion. With the adoption of various instruments, new sound possibilities arose, and the understanding of sound was expanded. After a brief introduction about the innovations that the 20th century reserved for the percussion scene and a brief overview of the percussion group phenomenon, this article addresses the first Brazilian percussion group, the UFBA Percussion Ensemble, its baianos composers Jamary Oliveira (1944-2020), Lindembergue Cardoso (1939-1989) and Fernando Cerqueira (1941-) and three of his works. Works that bring many innovations to the current Brazilian percussive repertoire.
