Tradição na - terra dos músicos e sacerdotes‖: um estudo sobre a preservação cultural da banda de música Jesus, Maria e José de 1914a 2000.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the historical formation process and the role played by Jesus, Mary, and Joseph band in Uirauna-PB. The band Jesus, Mary, and Joseph founded in 1914 continues active until the present day, maintaining the tradition of military music, popular and current. Uirauna is known and named by its inhabitants as "the land of musicians and priests" (excerpt that composes our title work), it receives this name precisely because it has a cultural tradition linked to music and also to the priestly, and to the high number of practitioners of these arts. For a long time, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph band were linked to the Catholic church of the Holy Family "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph"; in 1966, it becomes independent of the church, after the creation of the Society of Artistic Diffusion of Uirauna (SODAU). This process of separation of the band Jesus, Mary, and Joseph of the Catholic Church is also our focus of the study of what we perceive as the preservation of this musical culture. For this, we consider as a temporal cut from 1914 to 2000. Thus, we have the following questions: What are the reasons that caused the separation of the band and the Church? How did the church minister to the band? What motivated SODAU to be created? What did SODAU bring from differential to band? This independence was anything positive or negative to maintain the musical culture of Uirauna? What is the role of the city's music school? To carry out our intention, we will analyze interviews made to the oldest members of the band in question. To substantiate this work theoretically, we utilized the studies of Moraes (1983), Tinhorão (1997), Cardôso (2005), Moreira (2008), Abreu (2011), Silva (2011), among other authors.
