As a musicologist, Nogueira writes books, articles and critical reviews on contemporary music, focusing on Bahian composers. Her research project “Historical Landmarks of Contemporary Composition in Bahia” runs three series of publications: 1) critical editions accompanied by analytical essays; 2) theoretical essays accompanied by critical reviews; 3) web catalogues.
