INFLUENCIA DE LA MÚSICA NACIONAL ACADÉMICA EN LA CIUDAD DE GUAYAQUIL EN LOS ÚLTIMOS DIEZ AÑOS.

Abstract

This research aims to evidence the influence and importance that the national academic music has had in Guayaquil in the past ten years, as well as its diffusion by the musicians of the Guayaquil Symphony Orchestra; who by several causes such as the lack of edited scores of the national academic music, as well of the absence of the subject of History and Analysis of the national academic music, have not achieved to create, along with the artistic director of the orchestra and the directors of the Conservatories in the city, an Ecuadorian musical identity and language. The theory on which this work was based on was the history of the musical nationalist, its beginning in Europe, its arrival to Latin America, and its development in Ecuador. Throughout the theory, many opinions of distinguished musicologists and composers towards the creation of a musical identity and language were taken. The methodology was based in research instruments such as surveys, interviews and the review of the concert programs from five seasons of the Guayaquil Symphony Orchestra, whose results demonstrated the importance of national academic music, as well as the interest from the musicians, the artistic director of the orchestra and the directors of the conservatories to improve the actual system, inorder to achieve a better diffusion, and therefore a greater influence of this music to create a national musical identity and language. This research work suggests that the production and performance of national academic music in Guayaquil have been almost disregarded, with a few exceptions cases. Therefore, the present work however indicates and remarks the high relevance and importance to make deeper researches on this subject in order to improve the actual condition of national academic music in Guayaquil.
