Aplicación de los recursos orquestales utilizados por Gil Evans para el arreglo de dos pasacalles ecuatorianos.

Abstract

This research proposes the orchestration of two Ecuadorian pasacalles using the orchestration techniques used by Gil Evans, which were obtained after the analysis of two specific songs previously chosen. Furthermore, we tried to keep the indigenous sense as much as we could in both pasacalles. We used different tools and research methods such as: audition, transcription, melodic and harmonic analysis and interviews to specialized musicians. All these tools helped us to collect the needed information to create the proposal. The two analyzed songs were Boplicity and Moon Dreams which are on the Birth of The Cool album by Miles Davis. Both songs were orchestrated by Gil Evans. Throughout the analysis we extracted the orchestration techniques used by Gil Evans, as well as some key aspects that are important when he orchestrated. By collecting and applying these techniques after the analysis in the proposal, we hope that the reader understand the more effective way to apply these techniques.
