“…[e] do outro, uma memória material incorporada em Ippolito 2008; Rinehart & Ippolito 2014;Gordon 2015;Philips 2015;Hölling 2016Hölling , 2017. Infelizmente, tal empreitada está longe de ser concretizada, visto que também em âmbito musical, sobretudo no contexto dos estudos de preservação do património musical eletroacústico, e devido, por exemplo, à rápida obsolescência da tecnologia analógica ou digital utilizada, ou ao uso de sons/ instrumentos não convencionais ou mesmo de elementos visuais, a partitura deixou de cumprir a sua função de forma tão eficaz como até aqui (Nogueira et al 2016;Nogueira 2018;Pires et al 2018). Na verdade, é hoje perfeitamente reconhecido que a partitura é sempre incompleta, não transmitindo a obra musical na sua integridade (Bowen 1999;Boorman 1999).…”

“…The main difficulties encountered arise out of the sheer complexity of these works, which creates further difficulties to their study, performance or even to deciphering the working documentation; combined with the obsolescence of the technological means that prevents access to some crucial contents; and alongside the absolute absence of national preservation, documentation and valuation strategies, leading to the dispersion and loss of many crucial documents.

This article aims to reflect on the main constraints encountered in recovering music-theatre works that involve a variety of diverse aspects that are relevant to their performance. As well as the score, scripts or other additional documents, the works considered here also include electroacoustics recorded on magnetic tape, consequently requiring specific approaches in order to preserve such kinds of works. Video recordings of concerts are important for understanding, documenting and eventually restaging these works. This idea is not new; audio-video recordings have for many years served as sources for documenting live performances (music-theatre or art performances). However, it is still important to discuss just how and with which tools these very important documents might be preserved and exploited. Hence, the study of the structure of Molly Bloom and FE…DE…RI…CO…, both with music by Constança Capdeville, enables an understanding of the processes in which documentation is relevant to preserving such a valuable cultural heritage.

Moreover, the role of institutional support and government policies in fostering a conducive environment for the flourishing of contemporary and experimental music remains a subject of critical inquiry (Brooks, 2012;Pires et al, 2018).…”
