Catalogação e digitalização do acervo musical da banda de música da Base Aérea de Manaus

Abstract

The present monograph aims to digitize and catalog the musical collection of the Band of Music of the Air Base of Manaus and make possible in the future the creation of a database with these musical works. They are songs that are part of the traditional repertoire of bands such as, dobrados, military and religious marches, hymns, polaca, erudite music adapted for band, xote, frevo, etc. The preservation of those collection are of huge importance because they are works that are worn out due to time and use, and keep in their writings important data like functions that musicians perform in the bands (copyists), dedications, considering that a lot of band songs, the composer have always dedicated to some person, or event of relevance to the environment which they lived in. In line with the preservation we have the honor to honor musicians who dedicated so much of their lives to the musical band (wind band), making them immortalized in the catalog of this work.
