Paulo Costa Lima (born 1954 in Salvador, Bahia) is a senior Brazilian composer and music theorist, which has won more than 20 national and international Prizes and Comissions along his career. A member of the Brazilian Academy of Music, Lima's main interest is the interaction between composition and culture, including its political aspects, namely composition as a way of resisting colonization and against the "waste of experience,"[1] the traditional circuit in which ideas (theory) are produced elsewhere and absorbed by the peripherical South of the Globe, as if the experience of populations in the periphery would be incapable of producing theory grounded musical practices.[2] Lima's publications are on topics such as the theory and pedagogy of musical composition (the notion of compositionality, for instance),[3] analysis and history of Brazilian contemporary music [4] analysis of Brazilian popular songs,[5] the possible dialogue between music and psychoanalysis,[6] and cultural semantics. Lima's compositional interests include the rhythmic tradition of the Candomblé. From 2020 on, Lima has been posting short video analysis of brazilian popular songs (usually showing aspects completely surprising to the general public) generating great interest in the social media, leading to a public of more than 200.000 people [7]

Early life and education

edit

Born in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil in 1954,[8] Lima studied composition with Lindembergue Cardoso and Ernst Widmer in Brazil, and Ben Johnston and Herbert Brün at the University of Illinois in the United States. He has two doctoral degrees (UFBA and USP). For one, he wrote his thesis on the pedagogy of music composition;[9] for the other, he analyzed Ernst Widmer's octatonic strategies.[10] His first doctorate led to the Copene Prize in 1999 and the publication of a book [11] and an abbreviated version of the second was published in the Latin American Music Review in 2001.[9][10]

Career

edit

Lima became a professor at the Universidade Federal da Bahia in 1979 and has held several positions there, including Director of the Music School (1988–1992) and Assistant Provost (1996–2002).[9] His composition students have included Paulo Rios Filho, Alex Pochat, Guilherme Bertissolo, Tulio Augusto, Vinicius Amaro, Paulo Cesar Santana, Pedro Amorim Filho, and Danniel Ferraz, among others.[12] Lima is part of the second generation of the movement initiated by the Group of Composers of Bahia, which rejects implicit compliance to existing standards.[13] The movement's brief manifesto - "In principle, we are against all and every principle" - besides its anarchic orientation also implies that all suggestions are valid and acceptable and stresses the importance of inclusivity [14]

Lima's compositions have been performed by the Orchestra of the Federal University of Bahia several times (1987, Ritorna Vivaldi, 2016, Cavalo Marinho, 2018, Alá, Reitoria da UFBA), by The Bahia Ensemble (1993, Atotô do L'homme Armé), The American Conposers Orchestra (1996, L'homme Armé, Carnegie Hall), Juilliard New Music Ensemble (2001, Atotô do L'homme Armé, Lincoln Center), Los Angeles Philarmonic Orchestra (2003, Atotô do L'homme Armé, Benaroya Hall), by the Bahia State Orchestra (1986 Halley Ouverture, 2005 Eine Kleine Atotô Muisk, 2017 Tempuê, 2021 Alá and Atotô do L'homme Armé, 2022, Zaratempo dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the Orchestra, Teatro Castro Alves) UFRJ Orchestra (2013, Bahia Concerto op. 98),[15] São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra (2000. Serenata Kabila, 2015 and 2019, Cabinda: We are black op. 104 and 2021, Oji: Chegança e ìmpeto, all of them commissioned), Neojibá Orchestra (2015, Seven arrows op. 102, Teatro Municipal Rio de Janeiro), São Paulo Chamber Soloists (2021, Concertino for Clarinet, New York, Americas Society at Park Avenue), Utah Symphony Orchestra (2022, Oji, Abravanel Hall), Campinas Symphonic Orchestra (2016 and 2024, several works), Porto Alegre Symphonic Orchestra (2023, Alá), USP Symphonic Orchestra (Alá, 2023), USP Chamber Orchestra (Atotô, ECAM, 2024), GRUPU (2017, Chega de Caboclo, Unidersidade de Campinas and European Tour) and the Essen Festival für Neue Musik (Cauíza for 10 percussionists, 2017).[16]

His works have been performed more than 600 times in more than 25 countries in locations such as Konzerthaus Berlin, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Benaroya Hall, De Rode Pomp, Sala Cecília Meireles, Sala São Paulo, and Teatro Castro Alves.[17] He was included in the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians in 2001 in an article written by Gerard Béhague[18] and, in 2016, the State University of Campinas held a festival in his honor.[19]

More recently,in 2011, Lima has proposed the notion of compositionality – the attributes of that which is composed – involving at least five dimensions: the "invention of worlds;" "commitment to critique", in other words, if a world is invented it interprets everything from its standpoint, composition id interpretation after all; "reciprocity" or playing with identities (when I writes something, something is written in him/her); the continuous interaction between theory and practice; and the "field of choices" (it is impossible to compose without making choices) [20] Ilza Nogueira observed in his 1993 composition Atotô do L'homme armé (op. 39) "a procedure of fusion of the appropriated elements (the melodic line and the rhythmic pattern), which compromises their identities and displaces them from their original signifying contexts".[21][22]

Lima was president of the Fundação Gregório de Mattos, the cultural office of Salvador, between 2005 and 2008.[23] During his time in office, he created programs such as the Mestres Populares da Cultura (transl. Popular Masters of Culture), which recognized elderly citizens with a wide knowledge of ethnic-popular traditions [24] Other civic activities include Lima's organization of 456 capoeira performers, walking and dancing on the streets of Salvador to celebrate the anniversary of the city in 2005.[25] Lima also organized the Cultural part of the Sociedade Brasileira para o Progresso da Ciência meeting in Salvador in 2001, dedicated to promote the relationship between arts and sciences.[25] In the last four years Lima has dedicated himself to an intense work of cultural diffusion through the social media, publishing videos with analytical interpretations of brazilian most well known popular songs, leading to the formation of an audience of more than 200.000 followers in Instagram, TikTok and Facebook. In 2023 and 2024 he was invited to be the key note Speaker for the annual meetings of the Associação Nacional de Pesquisa em Pós-Graduação e Música - ANPPOM[26]
