A estranha dança do inseto eletrônico - the electronic insect’s weird danceThe "electronic insect’s weird dance" explores elements of the XX and XXI centuries music in a didactic way. As a starting point, I decided to create a literary theme - a sort of micro tale - and work with rhythmic elements arising from successive changes of time signatures. With that, I tried to compose an “almost” dance with truncated rhythms. I take a rhythmic element as reference, the eighth notes pulse, which always operate as a common denominator between different time signatures used. The sequence of time signatures is always fixed and they appear into thirteen bars groups.This composition begins with a snare drum solo that displays the rhythmic ostinato which permeates the music. In some excerpts, the idea of !!ostinato disappears or it is very ornamented. In several points of the second part of the music, I took the liberty of using the sequence of time signatures in a retrograde manner, i.e., backwards. The harmonization technique used can be called free atonal. There are some use of chords formed by fourth intervals. Besides the music, I also wrote a small support material called Rhythmic Training. With it, you can perform preliminary solfeggio exercises with the band students. The exercises are based on rhythmic patterns found in “the electronic insect’s weird dance”.Score [A3 size] and set of parts [A4 size].
