Abstract

This study presents a panoramic view of the life and work of the Brazilian composer Oswaldo de Souza, through the exposure of the social and cultural geophysical spectrum in the genesis of his Art songs. It aims to promote the dissemination of his compositions, highlighting their link, as Brazilian chamber songs, with the precepts recommended in the well-known Semana de Arte Moderna (Modern Art Week movement of 1922), in which a new vision of artistic processes defended Brazilianness in our national art.
