A Batalha Naval do Riachuelo por Felipe Néri de Barcellos: música, ofício e glória na composição de um voluntário da pátria
Abstract
This article aims to present a musical composition entitled O Ataque do Riachuelo composed by a Felipe Néri de Barcellos musician from Pernambuco. The musica was composed during the Triple Alliance War against Paraguay, probably shortly after the Riachuelo Naval Battle, which took place in June 1865, as a relevant source for historical study of memories from this event. The goal is to understand how composition about a battle (as important as was the Riachuelo), dialogues with the context of that war, using their social and cultural influences as a starting point.
