Resumo

In this text, intertextuality and stylization are discussed in the context of Villa-Lobos’s Bachianas Brasileiras No 1. The cycle of Bachianas represents an homage to J. S. Bach, a stylization of Brazilian popular and folkloric music and Neoclassic elements. From a description of the work by the composer, three main matters are discussed: a. Tonality: classic harmonic atmosphere; b. Spiritualizing Bach’s processes – Topics and learned style: chorale; Fugue d’école; polyphonic melody; and c. Typical Brazilian mood, as shown in the subtitle of each movement, Embolada, Modinha, and Conversa. Issues related to Neoclassicism are discussed according to Hyde’s perspective of anachronistic imitations. In this sense, Villa-Lobos cycle of Bachianas represent a reverential-ecletic type of Neoclassic work. Finally, intertextuality in general is addressed in relation to stylization, to Villa-Lobos theoretical background, and to the autonomy of the work.
