Abstract
The Theory of Musical Contours was initially developed by Robert Morris,
Elizabeth Marvin and Michael Friedmann as a support for the study of musical
contours. Since the 1980s, dozens of authors have used it as a basis for
their studies. In Brazil, this theory has been used both as a support for
Analysis and for Musical Composition. In this work we present the approaches,
applications of this theory in studies carried out in Brazil and its
peculiarities. We identified the role of postgraduate students in the use of
this theory and the tendency to apply it in the area of Musical Composition.
