Abstract

This paper aims to present results on the research that studied the life and work of conductor Agenor Aluísio Gomes, analyzing the consequences of his work at Rádio Excelsior and Rádio Sociedade da Bahia, developing work activities as conductor, performer and arranger, in the period between the 1940s and 1960s. Information will be presented and discussed about the creation and development of the Radio Program a Hora da Criança (1943-1963), broadcast on Rádio Sociedade da Bahia, together with Adroaldo Ribeiro Costa. Historical information will be described about one of the programs carried out by Agenor Gomes, Adroaldo Ribeiro Costa, with singers, musicians and children as participants. In addition to the repertoire used at the time. We think that when he was hired by Rádio Sociedade da Bahia in 1943, Agenor Gomes began to relate to a new musical and sociocultural universe, which was radio. This context provided contact with competent Salvadoran musicians of the time, such as maestro Waldemar da Paixão, among many others. Contextualized historical information will be presented about the process of creating the Anthem of the Hora da Criança Project.
