Further Information

Description

The Camisão is an adufe type drum – built with a narrow shaft without the resonance box function – with timbral intonation not aligned to the tonality system. It has a rectangular shape and a single membrane. The sounds produced by the instrument have an undetermined pitch. To play, the musician holds the instrument with one hand and plays directly with the other hand, usually without a stick. The instrument is made of leather and decorated on the sides with floral and geometric shapes made with tacks and metal pieces in gold and silver colors.

The Camisão is a percussion instrument found in two reference sizes: large and small. Heitor Villa-Lobos used both sizes in his musical works, in order to obtain fundamental timbral intonation variations, which are related to the size of the instrument (the larger the instrument, the lower its intonation). Another characteristic of the Camisão’s timbral intonation is produced by being played with the hand without a stick, skin against skin, which gives a special color to its sound. However, according to the author Luiz D’Anunciação in his book “Os Instrumentos Típicos Brasileiros na Obra de Villa-Lobos” [“The Typical Brazilian Instruments in the Work of Villa-Lobos”] it is also possible to use drumsticks, as long as it is an exception indicated by the author of the musical composition, as can be found in a excerpt of Choros n. 6 from Villa-Lobos. The instrument is also present in other works by the composer, such as Choros n. 9 (1929), in Choros n. 11 (1928) and in Choros n. 12 (1925).
