Resumo: This article investigates the historical circunstances that led to the composition of Symphony No. 2 Brasília, by César Guerra-Peixe, written for symphony orchestra, mixed choir and an optional narrator. The piece was originally composed for a competition organized by the Radio Station of Ministry of Education in 1960 to celebrate the inauguration of the new Brazilian capitol, originating substantial controversy, hence the first prize was not awarded and a tie was registered between three candidates in second place: Guerra-Peixe, Guerra-Vicente, and Claudio Santoro – all of them became renowned composers of Brazilian music. The Symphony Brasília by Guerra-Peixe was subject of my doctoral project in three principal fronts: production of a performance edition of the full score and parts; performance of the work in the US and Brazil, aiming to correct eventual mistakes and spread the music; and a production of historical and analytical texts.

La obra fue compuesta originalmente para un concurso organizado por el MEC en 1960 para celebrar la inauguración de la nueva capital de Brasil, generando una gran controversia, ya que, además de no haber obtenido el primer premio, hubo un empate entre tres candidatos en segundo lugar: Guerra-Peixe, Guerra-Vicente y Claudio Santoro, todos ellos consagrados compositores de la música brasileña actual. La Sinfonía Guerra-Peixe Brasilia fue objeto de mi tesis doctoral en tres frentes principales: producción de una edición performativa de la partitura completa; ejecución de la obra en Estados Unidos y Brasil, con el objetivo de corregir cualquier error y difusión de la obra; y producción de textos musicales históricos y analíticos.O presente artigo aborda as circunstâncias históricas que culminaram com a composição da obra Sinfonia No. 2 Brasília, de César Guerra-Peixe, escrita para orquestra sinfônica, coro misto e um narrador opcional.
