In the seventeenth century, even as the Spanish Habsburg monarchy entered its irreversible decline, the capital of its most important overseas territory was flourishing. Nexus of both Atlantic and Pacific trade routes and home to an ethnically diverse population, Mexico City produced a distinctive Baroque culture that combined local and European influences. In this context, the American-born descendants of European immigrants—or creoles, as they called themselves—began to envision a new society beyond the terms of Spanish imperialism, and the writings of the Mexican polymath Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora (1645-1700) were instrumental in this process.

Novelas, poesías, cuentos, piezas teatrales, calendarios, crónicas, editoriales, reportajes de nota roja, volantes, historias, diarios, proclamas o discursos políticos, todos ellos forman parte de la cultura escrita del México decimonónico. Es una cultura escrita que no estaba parcelada en géneros, pues resultaba sumamente difusa la línea que separaba el discurso político de la historia; la historia de la literatura; la literatura del periodismo; el periodismo de la hoja volante, y la hoja volante del discurso político. Tampoco estaba parcelada en autores, pues unos y otros escribían en diferentes medios y con diferentes estilos. Además, la pluma se sumó al sable en la construcci...

Flexible and easy to teach, The Bells of Glocken is approximately 20 minutes long and is an inspired choice for children's choirs, Christian schools or Sunday schools-also great as a multi-generation program for the entire congregation! With very simple narration and dialog, it features speaking and non-speaking roles for 7-10 people, though directors are encouraged to add dialog and characters as necessary. "Glocken" is the German word for "bells." Four bell sounds represent the seasonal themes of hope, peace, love and joy. This pattern may be played by handbells, choir chimes, organ chimes or pitched percussion instruments, though keyboard alone is sufficient. The Director's Score includes fully supportive keyboard accompaniment, costuming, prop and staging suggestions, dialog, vocals and a reprintable audience/congregation program. The Singer's Edition features vocals, narration and dialog. Fully orchestrated recordings are available separately.
