Resumen
En el presente trabajo se estudia una de las obras musicales más representativas del músico Gerardo Guevara, uno de los compositores ecuatorianos más importantes del siglo XX. En la primera parte, se aborda la trayectoria artística y la formación académica del compositor y, sobre todo, se intenta sistematizar el estudio de los diferentes periodos estilísticos que sugiere su fecunda obra musical. Asimismo, se explora sus particulares formas de alineamiento con el nacionalismo musical ecuatoriano y las diversas estrategias compositivas que usó para crear una obra musical sincrética, el albazo Fiesta, en la cual los elementos de la música de tradición oral adquieren una significación alejada de las tendencias localistas y folclorísticas. Este trabajo pone en evidencia cómo el compositor va más allá de los géneros populares ecuatorianos al crear un universo musical hasta entonces inaudito, en el cual, la utilización de elementos musicales, tales como la pentafonía y la forma musical, genera obras nuevas y trascendentes en constante búsqueda de universalidad. En la segunda parte, se analiza el albazo Fiesta, una pieza musical escrita para piano, que evidencia de manera concreta las técnicas empleadas por el compositor en lo relativo a los aspectos melódicos y armónicos.
The present research studies one of the musical works that is most representative of the musician Gerardo Guevara, one of the most important Ecuadorian composers of the 20th century. The first part of the paper addresses the artistic trajectory and academic formation of the composer and, above all, aims to systematize the study of different stylistic periods suggested by his fruitful musical works. The paper additionally explores his particular forms of alignment with Ecuadorian musical nationalism and diverse strategies of composition that he used to create a syncretic musical work, Fiesta in the albazo style, in which the elements of an oral musical tradition acquire a meaning distanced from localizing and folklorizing tendencies. This research shows how the composer goes beyond popular Ecuadorian genres to create a previously inaudible musical universe, in which the use of musical elements, such as pentatonicism and musical form, generate new and transcendent works in constant search of “universality.” The second part of the paper addresses the analysis of Fiesta, an albazo musical piece written for piano, that demonstrates concretely the techniques employed by the composer in relation to melodic and harmonic aspects.
