Do presencial ao digital: a performance coral em vídeo mosaico sob a perspectiva das músicas audiotáteis

Abstract

This dissertation investigates the transformations in the practice of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF) Choir following its transition to the digital environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research focuses on the performance of the song Angélica (by Chico Buarque and Miltinho), presented in the video mosaic format, as a reflection of the technical, aesthetic, and pedagogical adaptations experienced by the group. Grounded in Vincenzo Caporaletti's Theory of Audiotactile Music (TMA), the study aims to understand how technological mediation affected vocal experience, sound perception, and the collective construction of choral performance. The methodological approach is qualitative, structured as a case study, based on documentary analysis, semi-structured interviews with the conductor, monitors, and choir members, as well as observation and evaluation of audiovisual materials produced by the group during the pandemic. The findings reveal that the digital transition deeply redefined musical production processes, enhancing the role of active listening, individual autonomy, and post-production as central elements of choral performance. The research contributes to discussions on the intersections between music, technology, and pedagogy, highlighting the resilience of choral singing in the face of media disruptions and the expressive and educational potential in digitally mediated contexts
