El pensamiento musical
Como consecuencia de la expulsión de los jesuitas de España ordenada por Carlos III, cerca de 5000 personas fueron obligadas a exiliarse en Italia en 1767. Antonio Eximeno (Valencia, 1729 - Roma, 1808) fue uno de estos jesuitas. Filósofo, matemático y profesor de retórica, utilizó la teoría musical como un medio para integrarse en las redes culturales de la sociedad italiana, reflejando la influencia del pensamiento europeo ilustrado y actuando como un “mediador cultural” entre Italia y España. En la tesis “El pensamiento musical de Antonio Eximeno” se estudian las ideas que articulan su pensamiento a partir del análisis de sus escritos con contenido musical: el tratado Dell...

Aztecs, Moors, and Christians
In villages and towns across Spain and its former New World colonies, local performers stage mock battles between Spanish Christians and Moors or Aztecs that range from brief sword dances to massive street theatre lasting several days. The festival tradition officially celebrates the triumph of Spanish Catholicism over its enemies, yet this does not explain its persistence for more than five hundred years nor its widespread diffusion. In this insightful book, Max Harris seeks to understand Mexicans' "puzzling and enduring passion" for festivals of moros y cristianos. He begins by tracing the performances' roots in medieval Spain and showing how they came to be superimposed on the mock battles that had been a part of pre-contact Aztec calendar rituals. Then using James Scott's distinction between "public" and "hidden transcripts," he reveals how, in the hands of folk and indigenous performers, these spectacles of conquest became prophecies of the eventual reconquest of Mexico by the defeated Aztec peoples. Even today, as lively descriptions of current festivals make plain, they remain a remarkably sophisticated vehicle for the communal expression of dissent.
Assassination of Catholic Priests in the Diocese of Barcelona, Spain, Under the So-called Spanish "Republic," Now the "Spanish Republic in Exile."
"The assassination of Roman Catholic priests, and the destruction of Catholic churches in Spain under the Popular Front Government of the Spanish Republic, constitute one of the most savage and inhuman chapters in the history of this generation. The following pages set forth what would fill many volumes if the assassinations and acts of vandalism for all of Spain under the "Republic" were recorded."--Page 3.
Pasados presentes
El discurso histórico, junto con otros posibles sobre la música, es un componente necesario de la experiencia musical contemporánea. La historiografía musical indaga este discurso y su construcción en una compleja dialéctica interna a la propia historia, y también externa, en relación con otras áreas musicológicas y con otras disciplinas. Los siete ensayos que se reúnen en esta obra componen una valiosa visión de conjunto de la historiografía musical europea entre aproximadamente 1870 y 1936, es decir, el momento de su consolidación como disciplina científica. Estas aportaciones ahondan en las afinidades y divergencias entre las tradiciones musicológicas de Alemania, España, Francia e Italia en las décadas que unen los siglos xix y xx, cuando, bajo la tutela de la filología y de la historia, la musicología se constituyó como disciplina académica.
Obras para clave o fortepiano
Se publican en el presente volumen las sonatas para clave o fortepiano conocidas de José Teixidor y Barceló (ca. 1751-ca. 1811), organista de la Real Capilla, además de compositor e importante teórico musical. Cinco de ellas forman parte de un conjunto titulado «Sonatas de clave» y quizá se compusieron en 1775 para el infante don Gabriel de Borbón. Otra sonata, escrita en tres movimientos, se anunció en la prensa el año 1794 para su venta.
Antoni Gaudí
When the Corbusian International Modern style, with its contempt for ornament, imposed itself on architecture, figures like Gaudi (1852-1926) were relegated to the sidelines. In this volume, Lahuerta situates Gaudi in his context and vindicates his fin-de-siecle bohemian modernity. Embodied in such powerful images as the equation of the spires of the Sagrada Familia with the flames rising from burning churches during the Tragic Week (1909), the story takes us to the Barcelona of the early twentieth century, when class struggle threatened to topple the prevailing capitalist model. Drawing on valuable first-hand documents collected over several decades, the author shows that Gaudi was not an i...
