SUMMARY:

This research analyses music and musical circulation in the city of Cataguases, in the countryside of the state of Minas Gerais, throughout the 1920s. The objective is to understand i) to what extent musical production in the city during this period was circumscribed in the process of intense social transformations and alternation of local political and economic elites and ii) how the intellectual elites perceived, registered and actively acted in the construction of musical dynamics and in the production of public life. Therefore, a documentary research was carried out in the private archives of a local resident in order to access the past editions of a local newspaper existent in the period, Cataguazes. All the media news, journalistic stories and opinion articles mobilized during the research helped to bring to the surface the active participation of music and musicians in the construction of public life and intellectual circles in the city. Those evidences show the role of economic elites in promoting traditional music bands of military and civil beckgrounds, defining them as active agents in the official and solemn scene of the city. Based on the context of the republican construction of institutions in the Brazilian countryside, the analysis focuses in the notions of progress that emerge in the city and how cinema, an important manifestation of modernity, interacts with the musical production of Cataguases. This research also considers the existing, but little discussed, nexuses between the acclaimed literary modernism of the city and music. It emphasizes the diffusion, production and consumption of jazz, as well as the organization of a local jazz band, closely linked to modernists or futurists. The argument that guides the research is based on the coexistence and the exchanges of musicians, knowledges, music sheets and music arrangements that circulated in order to meet civil, religious and leisure demands: founding domains of public life.
