Realización de cuatro arreglos de música popular ecuatoriana para ensamble de voces blancas con acompañamiento de piano

Abstract

The objective of this research work is to produce four arrangements of Ecuadorian popular music for choir of white voices, in two and three voices. The purpose of the author is to encourage the knowledge and interpretation of Ecuadorian popular music among children, and to highlight the work done by Ecuadorian composers, thus contributing to the repertoire currently available for children's ensembles. The methodology used for this project is of an exploratory type, through which a selection of the four songs in different popular Ecuadorian musical genres was made: Albazo, San Juanito, Pasillo, and Pasacalle. It is also considered an applied research work, because the children's choral arrangements of each theme have been prepared by the author of this project, based on a detailed theoretical framework, with the aim of providing new repertoire options for this format. Finally, the scores and a detail of the process of making the arrangements are presented as evidence
