Ernesto Nazareth

Ernesto Júlio de Nazareth (20 March 1863 – 1 February 1934) was a Brazilian composer and pianist. He wrote almost entirely for the piano, drawing on the waltzes and polkas of Rio de Janeiro's salons, carnival music, the playing of chorões and pianeiros, and the European repertory he had studied, especially Chopin. His piano writing adapted figures from the guitar, cavaquinho and flute as syncopated accompaniment, lyrical melody and inner counterpoint.

Nazareth composed about ninety tangos, forty waltzes and twenty polkas, as well as mazurkas, schottisches, marches and sambas.

Biography

Nazareth was born in Rio de Janeiro, in the area then known as Morro do Nheco, now Morro do Pinto, in the neighborhood of Santo Cristo. His father, Vasco Lourenço da Silva Nazareth, worked as a customs broker. His mother, Carolina Augusta Pereira da Cunha, was his first piano teacher and introduced him to a repertory that included Beethoven, Chopin, Gottschalk, Arthur Napoleão and salon pieces then circulating in Rio de Janeiro. Chopin became one of Nazareth's strongest musical interests.

His mother died in 1874, when Nazareth was eleven. He then studied with Eduardo Rodolfo de Andrade Madeira, a family friend, and later with Charles Lucien Lambert, a New Orleans-born pianist and teacher who lived in Rio de Janeiro and had been a friend of Louis Moreau Gottschalk. A childhood fall from a tree caused a head injury and bleeding from one ear; the hearing problems that followed worsened in later life.

His early published pieces included Cruz, perigo!! in 1879 and Não caio noutra!!! in 1880, the latter his first broad success. In the 1880s he appeared in concerts at clubs in the imperial capital. In 1893, Casa Vieira Machado published Brejeiro, which became one of his best-known works and circulated outside Brazil, with editions later issued in Paris and in the United States.

On 14 July 1886, Nazareth married Teodora Amália Leal de Meireles, with whom he had four children: Eulina, Diniz, Maria de Lourdes and Ernestinho. He gave his first concert as a pianist in 1898. In 1899, the first edition of Turuna appeared. In 1902, his music was recorded for the first time, when the Banda do Corpo de Bombeiros do Rio de Janeiro recorded Está chumbado. In 1904, the singer Mário Pinheiro recorded Brejeiro with lyrics by Catulo da Paixão Cearense under the title O sertanejo enamorado.

Nazareth lived in Ipanema from 1917 onward. His hearing loss became more severe in the late 1920s. In 1932, he was diagnosed with syphilis, and in 1933 he was admitted to the Colônia Juliano Moreira, a psychiatric hospital in Jacarepaguá. On 1 February 1934, he left the institution. His body was found three days later in the waters of a reservoir that supplied the hospital. The registered cause of death was asphyxia by submersion. He was buried at the São Francisco Xavier Cemetery in Caju, Rio de Janeiro. These musicians, known as chorões, had been adapting imported dance forms since the mid-nineteenth century, using rhythmic patterns associated with the habanera, tresillo and the Afro-Brazilian lundu.

This helps explain why choro musicians later embraced Nazareth even when his scores used other genre names. Many of his pieces were issued as salon piano music, but they circulated through rodas de choro, popular theatres and elite parlors. Nazareth wrote for the piano and for the sheet music market, while his syncopations, bass lines and melodic turns kept his work close to the sound world of Rio's popular instrumental groups. Nazareth's Brazilian tangos can therefore be read as piano works shaped by the printed dance market, the maxixe's syncopated language, choro performance practice and the technique of a pianist trained in the European salon tradition. Nazareth rejected the name maxixe for his tangos. He wrote much of this music for listening at the piano: dance supplied the rhythm, but ballroom steps did not govern its course.

Nazareth played in cafés, music shops, cinemas, social gatherings and private parties, where pianists like him were called pianeiros. They read from scores but played with the rhythmic freedom of Rio's popular music.

Reception and later circulation

Nazareth's music drew attention from musicians working in different parts of Brazilian and European musical life. Darius Milhaud, who lived in Brazil from 1917 to 1918, later praised the rhythmic richness, melodic invention and expressive force of Nazareth and Marcelo Tupinambá, and his Brazilian period shaped works such as Le boeuf sur le toit and Saudades do Brasil. Heitor Villa-Lobos dedicated Choro no. 1 to Nazareth in 1920, a gesture often noted in accounts of Nazareth's connection with the early choro repertory. Moreira Lima included Nazareth in a 1966 recital at the Theatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro, where he played the waltz Coração que sente and the tango Batuque in a program otherwise centered on European concert repertory. Its discography project catalogs about 2,500 recordings of Nazareth's music from 1902 onward and made more than 2,000 recordings available for online listening. Other recipients include singer Márcio Gomes, who received the diploma at a 2012 edition of Chorando com Joel, and Luiz Antonio de Almeida, one of Nazareth's principal researchers and a contributor to the Ernesto Nazareth 150 Anos project, who received the diploma from the institute in 2010.

In 2004, STV and We Do Comunicação produced the documentary Ernesto Nazareth, directed by Dimas de Oliveira Junior and Felipe Harazim; the film included interviews with the pianists Eudóxia de Barros and Maria Teresa Madeira, the composer Osvaldo Lacerda and the biographer Luiz Antonio de Almeida.
