Abstract

This publication includes the full program of the USP Philharmonic concert with the OSESP Academic Choir - whose repertoire was divided into two parts: I) Brazilian colonial works and II) composers and poets from the BRICS (Brazil, China, Cuba and Russia) - held on June 4, 2025,
at 2pm, at USP’s Paulista Museum (São Paulo), including the institutional credits, the list of works performed and a critical text, whose dissertation describes, work by work, the various research projects carried out by the author of this publication. The topics covered are the Solfas de
Mogi das Cruzes and colonial modinhas, a brief essay (based on critical poesis) on the poetics of reconstruction (valid for both music and architecture) in a critique contrary to the aesthetics of ruin, including issues of critical editing, as well as orchestration of old and new works. Finally, the publication looks at the repertoire of composers and poets from the BRICS, also performed at the concert.
