Abstract

Radamés Gnattali was one of the Brazilian composers most committed to Brazilian urban popular music and American jazz (BARBOSA and DEVOS, 1984). In his concert music, he employed various musical elements, instruments and performance patterns from these fields of musical creation. In this article, I bring a harmonic and instrumental analysis of the moments when this composer used the electric guitar as a solo instrument in “Concerto Carioca nº1”, an unprecedented fact in concert music. I try to demonstrate that Gnattali was not looking for an instrument with greater sound volume, although this feature can be used occasionally, but rather, he was looking for a new instrumental timbre, using an electric instrument recently created at the time of writing this work. The use of the electric guitar, an instrument strongly linked to jazz, is an important demonstration of the commitment that Gnattali established with urban popular music.
