O Centro de Documentação Musical da UFPel no horizonte da multidisciplinaridade: articulações entre musicologia histórica, gestão patrimonial e memória institucional

This article aims to present the institutional memory program of the Centre ofMusic Documentation of the Federal University of Pelotas (CDM-UFPEL), which integrates historical musicology research, the organization of historical collections of the Conservatory of Music of Pelotas and the institutional memory studies. The research and organization of the memory sources include institutional documentation, the ancient photography collection, the analysis of oral sources and the primary research sources (newspapers, magazines, and almanacs). Through the creation of a digital database, the resulting information from the research projects is organized and systematized, aimed at enabling public access through the web. The integration of historic musicology research and the procedures adopted in the management of historic collections resulted in the drawing together of the institutional memory and the scientific community, through an essentially multidisciplinary approach.

Música e iconografia entre os assírios

The sources about music in ancient Mesopotamia are numerous, there are hundreds of cuneiform tablets in Sumerian and Akkadian language, and also iconic representations of material culture have been rescued by archeology. The texts of varied nature show myths, staves and musical theories, displaying speci?c vocabulary about the act of musical performance, on musicians and musical instruments. In these documents, the rich iconography of war among the Assyrians is also revealing of musical practice, including in military contexts. There is evidence of foreign musicians within the Assyrian royal courts in the cuneiform tablets, in the stone

Ética e estética na música grega: a educação e o ideal da kalo-kagathía

Etica e estetica sao duas dimensoes absolutamente imbricadas no pensamento musical grego. Os principios morais contidos, por exemplo, na teoria do ethos musical norteiam a apreciacao das formas musicais, seja no que se refere a escolha dos instrumentos, dos generos, ou dos modos musicais (escalas). A importância que os gregos conferiam a esta interseccao entre a estetica e a etica na musica assumia grande relevância politica, como pode ser verificado no destaque dado a educacao musical. Ao avaliar a biografia dos principais homens publicos atenienses, recorrendo-se a obras como as Vidas Paralelas de Plutarco, constata-se o quanto se valorizava a influencia da formacao musical sobre as qualidades politicas e morais de um cidadao. Considerava-se que a musica desempenhava importante papel para a constituicao da virtude da kalo-kagathia (beleza-bondade), que era considerada o bem maior para um cidadao: o reconhecimento do belo e de escolha do bom, do justo. Ve-se, assim, a existencia de uma pedagogia politica, calcada nas nocoes de etica e estetica, na qual o ensino musical merecia bastante atencao, como demonstram as recomendacoes de Platao e Aristoteles.

Such image was composed of a cluster, rather coherent and contradictory, of notions, concepts, beliefs and preconceived ideas.
