Music in Spain During the Eighteenth Century
Traditional musicology has tended to see the Spanish eighteenth century as a period of decline, but this 1998 volume shows it to be rich in interest and achievement. Covering stage genres, orchestral and instrumental music and vocal music (both sacred and secular), it brings together the results of research on such topics as opera, musical instruments, the secular cantata and the villancico and challenges received ideas about how Italian and Austrian music of the period influenced (or was opposed by) Spanish composers and theorists. Two final chapters outline the presence of Spanish musical sources in the New World.
Transatlantic Malagueñas and Zapateados in Music, Song and Dance
Transatlantic Malagueñas and Zapateados is an exploration of two fandango dances, recording the circulations of people, imagery, music, and dance across what were once the Spanish and Portuguese Empires. Although these dance-musics seem to be mirror images, the unbreachable space between them reflects the political fault-lines along which nineteenth-century musical populism and folkloric nationalism extend into present-day debates about globalization, immigration, neoliberalism, and neofascism. If malagueñas are a fantastic incarnation of Spanishness, caught like a fly in amber by their anachronistic references to a fraught imperial past, noisy and raucous zapateado dances cut toward the future. Inherently marked by European conventions of zapatos (shoes), zapateados are nonetheless shaped by Africanist and Native American footwork traditions. In these Afro-Indigenous mestizajes, not only are European aesthetic values reordered and resignified, but the Catholic catechism which indoctrinated the New World yields to alternate spiritual systems springing out of a culture of resistance to European domination.
Daring Adaptations, Creative Failures and Experimental Performances in Iberian Theatre
In this volume, we are particularly interested in approaching theatre and performance as a dynamic and evolving practice of continuous change, regeneration and cultural mobility. Neither the dramatic texts nor their stage versions should be viewed as finished products but as creative processes in the making. Their richness lies in their unfinished and never-ending potential energy and their openness to constant revision, rehearsal, revival, and collective enterprise. This edited collection aims to create a dialogue on the artistic processes implicated in the various ways of working with the play text, the staging practices, the way audiences and critical reception can impact a production, and the many lives of Iberian theatre beyond the page or the stage. That is, its cultural and social legacies.
Forging Repertories
Much engagement with the cathedral music of New Spain has been through lens of exoticism. This book challenges this view by uncovering how colonial repertories mixed European aesthetics with locally composed pieces to create canons both tailored to local liturgies and shaped by European tradition. Building upon material from the archives of Mexico City, Durango, and Puebla cathedrals, author Drew Edward Davies examines how composers, some of them priests, communicated theological doctrine through music genres. The book also offers a new understanding of cultural encounter, both by assessing how music was used for indoctrination and by rethinking stereotypes in villancicos through the lens of...

The Keyboard Sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti and Eighteenth-Century Musical Style
W. Dean Sutcliffe investigates one of the greatest yet least understood repertories of Western keyboard music: the 555 keyboard sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti. Scarlatti occupies a position of solitary splendour in musical history. The sources of his style are often obscure and his immediate influence is difficult to discern. Further, the lack of hard documentary evidence has hindered musicological activity. Dr Sutcliffe offers not just a thorough reconsideration of the historical factors that have contributed to Scarlatti's position, but also sustained engagement with the music, offering both individual readings and broader commentary of an unprecedented kind. A principal task of this book is to remove the composer from his critical ghetto (however honourable) and redefine his image. In so doing it will reflect on the historiographical difficulties involved in understanding eighteenth-century musical style.
Música, literatura y poder en la España moderna
La aproximación a las relaciones entre Música, Literatura y Poder en la España Moderna (1500-1750) carece de estudios sistemáticos e interdisciplinares que procedan del diálogo entre grupos de investigación sobre Patrimonio Musical, Literatura del Siglo de Oro y Barroco, e Historia Moderna. Este libro colectivo nace así de una red de siete grupos de investigación (Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, Universidad de Extremadura, Universidad de Granada, Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona y CSIC) que pretende estrechar los vínculos entre especialistas de distintas áreas en torno a las relaciones que se establecen entre Música y Literatura en el ámbito de los géneros dramáticos, lír...

La música en el contexto religioso de La Habana colonial (1853-1898): espacios, músicos y repertorios
Este libro propone por primera vez un estudio integral de la actividad musical en el contexto religioso de La Habana, desde 1853, año en que se aplican en el territorio cubano los acuerdos del concordato de 1851 entre la reina Isabel II y el Vaticano, hasta el final del proceso de independencia colonial en 1898. Desde un enfoque global e interdisciplinar se tratan aspectos de especial envergadura y repercusión en el desarrollo de la vida musical religiosa habanera.
