A voz como gesto, as tessituras do canto em Milton Nascimento

Abstract

This present work aims to make considerations about Milton Nascimento voice within the dimension of the Brazilian culture, in the late 60’s to nowadays. Concerning to the field of Letters, in a interdisciplinary approach of study, while thinking about the voice, from Milton, in terms of poetry of utterance. In this way, it’s interesting to observe beyond the material aspects which define it, as the timbre, for instance. While taking into consideration in a broader sense means searching for a more comprehensive reading which goes from two distinct vectors or tessituras: one is mity and the other one is a mysticism of the voice. We see the technique of overlays of falsetto as being constituents of his mity. On the other hand, by mysticism, we perceive the interrelations between the various artistic languages, which are the meeting poin that constitutes the voice as a gesture. While talking into account the mity and the mysticism of Milton’s voice, it’s interesting to map, as a methodological purpose, the humans dimension of the canto, which comes from himself and echoes.
