Reginaldo Carvalho's incidental music: catalogation, edition and analysis of his compositions for O Tablado between 1957-1966

Abstract

Reginaldo Carvalho (Guarabira-PB, 1932 - João Pessoa-PB, 2013) composed vocal, orchestral and incidental music for cinema and theater. One of his most productive phases in the field of incidental music was in Rio de Janeiro, between the late fifties and the early sixties, and later, when he returned from France, between the end of the sixties and the early seventies. Reginaldo Carvalho worked for a long time for the Tablado, under the direction of Maria Clara Machado. Some of the originals of the composer's theatrical compositions were recently found in his private collection, including O Embarque de Noé (1957), A Bruxinha Que Era Boa (1958), O Cavalinho Azul (1960), Andrócles e o Leão and As Interferências (1966). The objective of this research is to catalog these works, to edit them and to analyze them, evidencing the relation between music and text in the construction of the scenic-theatrical narrative
