RESUMO
This research analyses the musicality in Riobaldos narrative at João Guimarães Rosas Grande Sertão: Veredas, according to Paul Zumthors concepts of voice, orality and performance. When we notice the music as a constituent element of the writing of the work, we searched in Rosa s own statements arguments that demonstrated his intention to use music as a factor in his construction metafictive in his authorial project. In our research, we found a very strong parallel between the epic narrated by Riobaldo and twelve-tone opera (as composed by Wagner, for example), and, leaving from the Levi-Strausss structuralism (which supports the similarity and contiguity between myth and music ), we set out to sketch this score that is hidden under the veil of Guimarães Rosas calligraphic writing. For in such a way, we were also necessary to make use of musical concepts such as counting rhythmic types of bars, times of notes etc.. Were relevant, too, the Walter Benjamins essay of the narrator, in addition to notes about the sound and sense of José Miguel Wisnik. It is important to stand out that although since there were other studies linking music with the work of Rosa, they were limited to studying the songs that were already in Guimarães Rosas text, whereas our work suggests that Grande Sertão: Veredas may, as a whole, be conceived as a musical composition, with its themes, sub-themes, variations and choruses. Thus, by showing the music behind the text, which unfolds before our eyes (and ears), it is possible to experience the "greatness cantabile", which tells us Riobaldo
