Year-End Review: AMS-NE in 2015

As the year draws to a close, I thought I'd take the opportunity to summarize and comment upon chapter activities and events that have marked this past year for us in the AMS-NE.

Yet a modernist work such as the one-act comic opera Pedro Malazarte (1932) offers a different account of early twentieth-century Brazilian national style. This paper argues that the composer Camargo Guarnieri and the librettist Mário de Andrade hybridized, rather than rejected, European heritage with national musical traditions. Their one-act comic opera aspires to bring the traditional character of Malazarte out
