Abstract

ASSIS, Ana Cláudia de. Almeida Prado's Ilhas: towards an imaginary soundscape. Estúdio [online]. 2013, vol.4, n.8, pp.75-81. ISSN 1647-6158.

This article analyses the workIlhas, for piano, by Brazilian composer José Antonio de Almeida Prado, using as theoretical basis the concept of Soundscape developed by M. Schafer. We consider this work to be a mimesis of several imaginary soundscapes, invented by the composer, and compositionally elaborated departing from various musical-rhetorical processes.

Keywords : Soundscape; Almeida Prado; Ilhas; descriptive music.
