Abstract

This work  investigates the Villa-Lobos’ treatment to the melodies used in Cirandas Terezinha de Jesus, Xô xô passarinho and Fui no Tororó, through intonational analyzes of the homonymous melodies arranged in the Guia Prático and also by the analyzes of the Cirandas themselves. These analyzes are based on the concepts of Russian musicologist B. Asafiev and allowed to understand the cultural and historical universe related to these three pieces, which are part of the 16 Cirandas, important work for piano of the twentieth century.
