Exploring three Colombian-Andean folk style (Danza, Pasillo, and Bambuco): An analysis and arrangement of three Colombian pieces for flute and piano

This dissertation contains an analysis, comparison, and transcription of three Colombian pieces for flute and piano, written by composers of three different styles of folk music: pasillo, bambuco, and danza. An understanding of the historical context of these Colombian musical genres and comparison of these instrumental pieces for flute and piano to those of other Colombian composers informed my subsequent transcription and edition. The selected musical material comprises Bandolita, a pasillo composed by Luis Uribe Bueno, Bambuquisimo, a bambuco by Leon Cardona, and Adios a Bogota, a danza by Luis Antonio Calvo.
