Abstract
This thesis contains five musical compositions in a Brazilian hybrid idiom. The accompanying text discusses how Brazilian folklore has been used to produce a national form of "classical" or "erudite" music, and how erudite music has in turn elevated the quality of Brazilian popular music. Three Brazilian composers have been chosen for study in order to gain a better understanding of their craft, musical ideas, and cultural contribution. The author's original compositions in this thesis have been consummated in a hybrid genre merging the classical and popular streams of Brazilian music.
