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.
Hearing Faith
An exploration into the ways Catholics in the Spanish Empire used devotional music (villancicos) to connect faith and hearing. By interpreting examples of “music about music” in the context of theological literature, it reveals how Spanish subjects listened and why.

Estudios sobre recuperación de patrimonio musical histórico
"Bajo el título Estudios sobre recuperación de patrimonio musical histórico (Scripta Musicologica en torno a la figura del Dr. José Vicente González Valle), esta miscelánea o Festschrift - como al homenajeado le hubiera gustado llamarla: una recopilación 'festiva' de escritos musicológicos - presenta cuarenta y nueve artículos debidos a relevantes investigadores, que se estructuran en tres grandes apartados, a tenor del contenido de los trabajos recopilados, todos ellos vinculados de un modo u otro con la labor e intereses de González Valle (2019): un primer bloque dedicado a la historiografía, la reflexión sobre la musicología y la música especulativa; un segundo bloque de musicología histórica y otros estudios culturales, ordenados cronológicamente en función de los temas tratados; y finalmente un apartado que hemos denominado 'Memoria', en el que se concentran algunos textos de carácter personal. El conjunto de esta compilación viene precedido, como era habitual y casi obligado en los impresos clásicos, de un soneto laudatorio - en acróstico - dedicado al protagonista de esta publicación"--Publisher's description.
Music as Social and Cultural Practice
"The linking theme of the essays collected here is the intersection of musical work with social and cultural practice. Inspired by Professor Strohm's ideas, as is fitting in a volume in his honour, leading scholars in the field explore diverse conceptualizations of the 'work' within the contexts of a specific repertory, over four main sections. Music in Theory and Practice studies the link between treatises and musical practice, and analyses how historical writings can reveal period views on the 'work' in music before 1800. Art and Social Process: Music in Court and Urban Societies looks at the social and cultural practices informing composition from the late Renaissance until the mid-eighte...
