Resumo - Realizado no âmbito do Mestrado em Música - vertente Direcção Coral, este relatório descreve o
projecto "Liberdade" desenvolvido com o recém-criado Coro Miosótis entre os meses de Fevereiro
e Junho de 2016. Ao longo desses cinco meses, desenvolveu-se com este grupo amador um trabalho
de preparação com um ensaio semanal, que culminou na apresentação de um recital, na Igreja
Presbiteriana de Lisboa, no dia 10 de Julho de 2016. Neste recital apresentou-se um conjunto de
nove peças, relacionadas com o tema “Liberdade”.
Ao longo do processo de preparação, foram utilizadas estratégias de improvisação colectiva, a partir
de um trabalho de liderança orientado para a facilitação da aprendizagem dos cantores, tendo em
vista uma aprendizagem autotélica, isto é, uma aprendizagem cujo fim está em si mesma e que se
encontra centrada nos próprios coralistas e não no maestro.
Por esta razão, foi absolutamente necessário privilegiar um contacto próximo entre maestro e
coralistas e facilitar uma relação inter-pessoal de confiança e proximidade entre os próprios
coralistas, uma vez que a qualidade dessas relações humanas estaria na base do trabalho a
desenvolver. Esse clima de confiança e disponibilidade surgiu através da realização de práticas
inclusivas, como dinâmicas de grupo e exercícios de aquecimento e integração, que permitiram a
expressão individual e colectiva do grupo, a transformação e crescimento de todos os elementos
envolvidos, incluindo o maestro, a abordagem exploratória do som em toda a sua diversidade, e
uma interpretação mais rica e completa do repertório seleccionado.
Observou-se que os coralistas se mantiveram altamente motivados ao longo de todo o processo, que
desenvolveram competências musicais inerentes à actividade coral, nomeadamente no que respeita
à consciência de grupo, à capacidade de escuta, à capacidade de criação conjunta e interacção
musical e que estavam fortemente envolvidos nas actividades propostas e no momento do recital.
Abstract - Prepared under the Master’s Degree in Music - Choral Conducting, this report describes the project “Freedom”, developed with the recently created Choir Miosótis, between February and June 2016. During these five months, this amateur choir rehearsed once per week in order to prepare the repertoire for presentation at the recital that took place at Evangelic Presbyterian Church of Lisbon, on July 10th 2016. In this recital, nine pieces were presented, related to the theme “Freedom”. Throughout the preparation process, group improvisation strategies were employed on a leadership basis directed towards facilitating the singer’s learning. The final goal was to foster an autotelic learning, which is a learning process whose purpose is in itself, focused on the choristers themselves and not on the conductor. Therefore, it was absolutely necessary to privilege a close relationship between conductor and choristers and to facilitate interpersonal relationships based on trust and proximity among the choristers themselves, since the quality of these human relationships would become a major pillar for the choral practice to be developed. This trustful and forthcoming environment was developed with the realization of inclusive practices, such as group dynamics, warm-up and integration exercises, which ultimately allowed for individual and whole group expression, transformation and growth of all members, including the conductor, exploratory approach to sound in all its diversity, and a richer and more complete interpretation of the selected repertoire. Noticeably, the choristers remained highly motivated throughout the process, developed musical skills inherent to the choral practice, namely linked to group consciousness, listening capacity, group creational capacity and musical interaction. They were also deeply involved in the regular choral activities and at the time of the recital.
