Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present a phenomenological analysis of Bajulans from Moteto de Passos, a work by colonial Brazilian composer Manoel Dias de Oliveira (1734/5-1813). Understanding how the piece is structured from the harmonic and phenomenological point of view may contribute to improve its performance. The phenomenological analysis is not a common approach in the interpretation of music yet. However, parameters eminently subjective, as the interpreter’s experience in performance, have been shown to be quite significant for music research.
