RESUMO

This work comprises a study of musical nationalism from a comparative perspective founded in the careers and works of two icons of 20th-century music, Heitor Villa-Lobos and Manuel de Falla, who are considered the greatest exponents of musical nationalism in their countries. First, it considers how "continuities" of nationalism, as identified by scholars, have manifested themselves in Brazil and Spain. Later, from the career paths of both musicians, it observes how nationalistic ideals developed in the two countries, and what solutions were proposed for the problems put forward by the creation of a national musical identity in each case. In this sense, it notes how, as the nationalistic ideals gained clearer definition, the paths of Villa-Lobos and Falla, who faced similar beginnings to their careers and shared Paris as their first escape, progressed. Whereas Falla, achieved his nationalistic project in reclusion, preferring to remain behind the scenes of the Spanish musical environment, Villa-Lobos inserted himself in the governmental machine, commanding a huge program to discipline the masses through the doctrine of Orpheonic singing. The musical appreciation of their works also helps us understand the musical answers given by those composers to the problem of creating a national identity. Finally, through their careers, these works acquire other features that are useful as parameters for subsequent generations of Brazilian and Spanish musicians
