Expressions of the traditional music in the argentina art music. 19th century

Abstract

The inclusion of traditional popular music in local academic compositions in the 19th century has not been generally considered of interest, mainly due to the doubts that have been raised about the accuracy and authenticity of such popular motives. To answer this question this work aims to determine which are the traditional musical species involved, and through the analysis of the available pieces we embark on a description of the musical resources used. Particularly relevant is the need to establish their historical value, and their fidelity to the original traditional motives — according to what we know today. We will ultimately aim to answer whether these pieces constitute national production of local cultural relevance.
