Resumen de The sacred music of Alberto Nepomuceno

Ana Guiomar Rêgo Souza

• This paper discusses the sacred music of Alberto Nepomuceno according to the ultramontane Catholicism’, the Motu Proprio Tra le sollecitudini (1903) issued by the Supreme Pontiff Pius X (1903-1914), and the movement for the restoration of sacred music in Brazil in the first decades of the 20th century.The analytical approach is based on "discourse", that is, meanings constructed in the process of interlocution. It is also based on conceptions derived from Mikhail Bakhtin's thought as dialogism, performance spaces and discursive genre.
