- W1559846775 abstract "Antonio Carlos Jobim has been called the greatest of all the contemporary Brazilian songwriters—the Gershwin of Brazil. Like Gershwin, he wrote both popular and serious music and was a skilled piano player. His songs have made a lasting impression worldwide to the extent that many are now standards of the popular music repertoire. Jobim was also attracted to languages—not only did he write the lyrics to many of his songs in his native Brazilian/Portuguese, but he showed a command and love of English, particularly its musical Anglo-Saxon sounds. Jobim's profound melodic and lyrical sensibility was enhanced and complemented by his inventive and peculiar harmonic idiom. This idiom, not the norm in either popular music or jazz, is characterised by dissonant and highly coloured chords that sound entirely natural and fit effortlessly into a personalised musical context. Tom Jobim, as he was called by his friends, was trained in classical music and was well acquainted with the works of Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, Ravel, Stravinsky and the techniques of the twentieth-century serialist composers. His most important musical influence, however, was Heitor Villa-Lobos, whose works combined influences from classical, native Indian, folk and popular Brazilian styles. In the early 1960s, Jobim became the most important identity in the creation of the new, internationally recognised, popular music style called bossa nova. As well as this, Jobim's musical works reveal a wide range of stylistic influences: from French Impressionism, samba rhythms from Rio de Janeiro and Bahia, twelve-tone serialism and American Tin Pan Alley songs, to popular Brazilian music composers like Pixinguinha, Ary Barroso and Dorival Caymmi. His success as a popular music composer is so well recognised that many of his songs form the heart of the Latin jazz music repertoire and have been recorded by such celebrities as Frank Sinatra, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Stan Getz and Sarah Vaughan. Jobim also composed larger-scale orchestral works such as Sinfonia do Rio de Janeiro (1954), and Brasilia: Sinfonia da Alvorada (1960), as well as film scores and other orchestral pieces, such as the tone poem Saudade do Brasil (1975). This thesis examines a selection of Jobim's most important songs and instrumental pieces and attempts to elucidate not only the many musical influences that formed his musical output, but also the stylistic peculiarities that were as much the product of a gifted composer as of the rich musical environment and heritage that were so much a part of his life." @default.
