Collected Essays

This volume gathers sixteen articles by Prof. Dr. Acácio Piedade, published between 2003 and 2023. It was put together by MusiCS (Música, Cultura e Sociedade, or Music, Culture, and Society), a research group at UDESC/CNPq, to honor him on his retirement as a professor at the State University of Santa Catarina (UDESC).

Piedade's academic work in music spans composition, theory and analysis, semiotics, anthropology, ethnomusicology, rhetoric, narrativity, and transculturalism. The selected articles reflect his main contributions to these areas over two decades.
