The Guitar at the Biennial of Contemporary Brazilian Music of Mato Grosso

In 2004, in Cuiabá, a city in Mato Grosso, Brazil, Roberto Victorio, a Brazilian composer, creates a contemporary music festival inspired by two historical events in the Brazilian concert music: Festival Música Nova (1962) from Santos, and the Biennial of Contemporary Brazilian Music (1973) from Rio de Janeiro. Victorio connects himself to the both events, doing it with his works, having friendship and mutual admiration for Gilberto Mendes and Edino Krieger, the "fathers" of these consecrated events – thus the Biennial of Brazilian Contemporary Music of Mato Grosso was born, supported by teachers of Music graduation from the Federal University of Mato Grosso – UFMT, that provides a strong participation of students and the coming of innumerable colleagues from other music departments of state and federal universities, as well as young postgraduates in artistic-academic activities.

With four editions, from 2004 to 2010, the Biennial presents the exact amount of 305 works, for all types of solo and chamber music, including chamber orchestras. Names of Brazilian scene linked to experimental concert music came to Cuiabá - it’s a list so long that it would be impossible to reproduce completely here and now. This recent history of Brazilian production is all catalogued and published in the book launched in September 2016 - Catálogo Comentado Bienal de Música Brasileira Contemporânea de Mato Grosso, published by the UFMT Publishing House.

As Victorio is a classical guitarist, one of the first graduates in Brazil, a former student of Jodacil Damaceno, he was naturally requesting our six string instrument for this incredible view of the recent Brazilian classical guitar output. As a composer, the award-winning Victorio devotes enormous production to the guitar, since the 1980s and I have the honour of doing première and being the dedicatee of some of these works, as well as Gilson Antunes and the pioneer Paulinho Pedrassoli. Recently, my students of Classical Guitar graduation have played the works of Victorio, solo and camera, even premieres.

In addition, it is clear that Guitar and Contemporary Music walk side by side in the history of concert music, giving flow to an uninterrupted production for generations. Thus, no less than 76 works with guitar were presented during the Biennials of 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2010 in Cuiabá, being 28 solo pieces; 22 for duos, trios, etc. and 26 for guitar and other instruments – follows a complete Table below, with works and authors names. See now some highlights of that repertoire.

The Mato Grosso Music Biennial has a connection with the historical avant-gardes, with contemporary works from diverse trends such as Atonal, Serial, Electroacoustic and Minimalism, and at the same time it’s an open space for inter-arts dialogue, through music-theatre contexts, which were part of their programming. Cultural plurality was present with repertoires linked to New Choro, Nationalism, Popular, Modal and Tonal expanded.

Some works were highlighted in that concert music board for solo guitar made through the Biennial, such as Sonata I by Almeida Prado, who was the honoured composer, present at the event in 2010, during Gilson Antunes concert. The guitarist Marcus Ferrer at the first Biennial in 2004 raised a more traditional repertoire, including works by Villa-Lobos, Guerra-Peixe and Radamés Gnattali and more plural, by his own works and composers Roberto Velasco and Gibran Helayel. Paulo Pedrassoli had a impressive performance playing Tetraktis by Roberto Victorio, in 2008.

In camera music, one important presence was  Doriana Mendes (Voice) and Marco Lima (Guitar) Duo, with works scenic, in 2008, like Drama Urbano of Dawid Korenchendler; the Brazilian group Camerata do Conservatório Brasileiro de Música did Microconcerto by Roberto Victorio – a complex work for 8 guitars, in 2004, and the Contemporary Guitar Quartet (Teresinha Prada, Paulo Pedrassoli, Gilson Antunes and Roberto Victorio), the début of Victorio's Tetragrammaton VIII, 2008.

There are many possibilities of research objects by consulting the Biennial of Mato Grosso Catalogue, as shown in the Table. There is a new repertoire generated, both for new formations and solo performances, such as diverse tendencies and composers of different generations, like Krieger, Zampronha and Marcus Siqueira. The Biennial of Mato Grosso is a multitemporal exhibition, with reference to key works, such as Villa-Lobos, and others repertoire that paved the way for new processes, such as Blirium by Gilberto Mendes

To observe this portrayal is to reproduce much of the Brazilian concert music history in the 20th and 21th centuries, seeing how the guitar dialogues with that, in a robust collection that shows this option for performance.
