Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to examine and explain the importance and the use of the
partido alto
rhythm in Brazilian popular music, particularly
Aquarela Do Brasil
by Joao Bosco. The thesis will briefly discuss the beginning of
partido alto
as a genre, as well as the rhythm itself. The study will reveal the ways
partido alto
is realized on Brazilian traditional instruments such as
cuica
,
tamborim
, and
agogo
. Modern usage on Western instruments such as guitar, bass guitar, drumset, and piano will also be covered. A section of the Brazilian classic,
Aquarela Do Brasil
by Ary Barroso, as played by guitarist/singer/composer Joao Bosco. The transcription includes a comparison between the bass notes, chords, and sung notes. Ultimately, the paper will show that the
partido alto
rhythm is used as a rhythmic basis in the context of Brazilian popular music.
