Abstract

This paper brings a reflection about the compositional and interpretative process of Três Momentos para Pandeiro Brasileiro for Brazilian pandeiro (typical kind of tamborine) solo written by composer Cesar Traldi in 2020, dedicated to the percussionist Vitor Lyra. Our goal is to demonstrate how different techniques regarding exploration of timber on the pandeiro enables the creation of an innovative sonorous/musical discourse for this instrument, going beyond its basic rhythmic accompaniment role in Brazilian popular music. We structured the piece in three movements to approach different strategies for the exploration of timber: instrument preparation, extended techniques, instrument addition, improvisation sessions and complex rhythmic processes. We present the interpretative challenges as well, in order to describe the solutions found by the authors during the process of study and performance for the premier in 2020 within the PERFORMUS’20 congress program held by ABRAPEM (Associação Brasileira de Performance Musical). Our hope is that these reflections can assist composers and interpreters who are interested in the use of the Brazilian pandeiro in new musical contexts.
