Expansion of 5th April 2015
[edit]The expansion made in this edit is mainly based on the 'Art music' section of the current Grove article by Gerard Béhague on Brazil [1] -- subscription needed. All the composers added either already have a Wikipedia page (all with blue links) or at least a dedicated Grove page (some red links). Composers mentioned in the Grove article on Brazil that didn't meet either of these criteria (not added in this expansion) include:
- Milton Gomes
- Aylton Escobar
- Agnaldo Ribeiro
- Flo Menezes
- Cirlei de Hollanda
- Rodrigo Cicchelli Velloso

Periods
[edit]@Classicalfan626: I can see what you're trying to do here to "divide into musical periods of classical music". However, I'm concerned that the Baroque/Classical 'period' cut-offs may not necessarily reflect the styles of the individual composers here (example). 86.175.216.102 (talk) 15:06, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
- I disagree. I listened to a little bit of the YouTube clip, and it does sound a lot like either the Baroque or Classical period, or somewhere in between. For instance, this composer you showed me chronologically belongs to the Classical period, as he was born five years after Gluck and CPE Bach. And plus, YouTube is not considered a reliable source by Wikipedia. Classicalfan626 (talk) 12:35, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
- Classicalfan626, I provided the YouTube link for the purposes of talk-page communication :-), as distinct from reliable sourcing. I would question the appropriateness of applying European stylistic chronologies directly to Latin American countries. The Grove articles on the subject that I've looked at (including the ones on Latin American Music and Brazil) seem to like to employ the term 'colonial period'. So I feel there could be a case for preferring that term to the headings generally used on Wikipedia in chronological lists of European composers. 86.175.216.102 (talk) 10:31, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
- I'm sorry I haven't bothered replying to this until now, but who said colonial can't cover eras like Baroque and Classical? And who said stylistic chronologies like Baroque and Classical are confined exclusively to European composers? Classical music is not exclusively European, it is Western, including wherever Europeans had colonies (i.e. the Americas and Australia). So I'm going to reorganize some of the list of Brazilian composers into the appropriate Western classical eras. Classicalfan626 (talk) 16:20, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
