Abstract

The work, Assobio a Játo (W493) was written by Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos in 1950 for flute and cello. It includes surprising and spontaneous rhythmic and melodic elements, which make it a reference point for Brazilian musical nationalism for the twentieth century. Given that the first and only publication of this work is in score format, this investigation proposes the re-edition of the work based on published references, while taking into account the nationalistic style of Villa-Lobos as well as different interpretations of the work. Using music notation software and a basic editing manual, the result of this investigation helped obtain parts of the work, ensuring easy reading, studying and interpretation for the academic music community. Thanks to its circulation, this work maybe an example of the use of music publishing tools applied to the transcription and edition of sheet music
