Temas Populares Portugueses na Serrana de Alfredo Keil

Description

This presentation focused on Alfredo Keil's opera Serrana, highlighting its use of Portuguese folk themes. It explores Keil's artistic journey, emphasizing his contributions to Portuguese musical nationalism in the late 19th century. The paper demonstrates how Keil incorporated folk melodies into Serrana, transforming them to fit the opera's dramatic context. This approach reflects a broader trend in Europe, where nationalism in music often involved the integration of folk elements. The presentation also examines Keil's other works and his efforts to establish a national operatic tradition in Portugal, influenced by European operatic trends, namely Italian verismo.
