Abstract(s)
O recurso à utilização da voz instrumental é uma realidade na performance das cantoras de
jazz desde os primórdios da tradição jazzística até aos dias de hoje.
Sendo uma estética que se tem modificado ao longo dos tempos, é hoje considerada uma
das abordagens com mais liberdade criativa, que se verifica tanto no contexto mais
hermético da música escrita, como na música improvisada.
Características de excelência são esperadas dos cantores que se equiparam a outros
instrumentos, tanto no domínio técnico e teórico como no campo criativo e filosófico.
Este estudo centrou-se na compreensão do modus operandi de quatro cantoras, no sentido
de entender como lidam elas com os aspectos da instrumentalização vocal na sua
performance. Saber como abordam as peças musicais do ponto de vista teórico, emocional e
interpretativo pretendeu ser uma forma de sistematizar esta informação, para que outros
cantores possam seguir esse percurso, se assim o desejarem.
Neste processo foi também fundamental compreender o percurso histórico da utilização
destes elementos, enumerar recursos e características, compreender o funcionamento do
aparelho vocal e estabelecer padrões que ajudem a perceber como se interpreta nestas
situações.
ABSTRACT - The use of instrumental voice is present in the jazz singers’ performance since the beginnings of the jazz tradition. As an aesthetic that has changed with time, it is considered an approach that allows a lot of creative freedom, whether in written or improvised music. Characteristics of excellence are expected from these singers, who are compared to other instruments, both in the technical and theoretical domain as in the creative and philosophical field. This study focused on the modus operandi of four singers, in order to understand how they deal with aspects of vocal “instrumentalization” in their performance. Getting to know how they approach musical pieces from a theoretical, emotional and interpretive point of view was intended to be a way of organizing this information, so that other singers can follow this path, if they want to. In this process it was also very important to understand the historical course of the use of the voice as an instrument, to enumerate its features and characteristics, understand the functioning of the vocal anatomy and to establish patterns that help to understand how one interprets in these situations.
