Pages : 455
Book Description
"This book provides a fresh, comprehensive view of the musical life and its cultural context in Santiago, Chile, from its foundation in 1541 to the end of the colonial period, roughly in 1810. Combining the study of archival documents, secondary sources and music scores, it deals with different aspects of musical life in the cathedral (chap. 1), convents and monasteries (chap. 2), private houses (chap. 3) and public spaces (chap. 4), considering, as well, the life and function of musicians as crucial agents in the music field. Despite its focus on a particular city of Latin America, it raises this issue from a broad perspective that explores its links with other urban centers (especially Lima), within the globalizing framework of the colonial system. The idea of music as a "sweet penance," belonging to a nun harpist in a convent of Santiago at the end of the eighteenth century, gives rise to consider duality as an essential trait of the period and its music"--

Music Education in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance
Author: Susan Forscher WeissPublisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253004551
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
What were the methods and educational philosophies of music teachers in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance? What did students study? What were the motivations of teacher and student? Contributors to this volume address these topics and other -- including gender, social status, and the role of the Church -- to better understand the identities of music teachers and students from 650 to 1650 in Western Europe. This volume provides an expansive view of the beginnings of music pedagogy, and shows how the act of learning was embedded in the broader context of the early Western art music tradition.

Languages : en
Pages : 478
Book Description
Music in the California missions was a pluralistic combination of voices and instruments, of liturgy and spectacle, of styles and functions - and even of cultures - in a new blend that was non-existent before the Franciscan friars' arrival in 1769. This book explores aesthetic, stylistic, historical, cultural, theoretical, liturgical, and biographical aspects of this repertoire. It contains a "Catalogue of Mission Manuscripts," 150+ facsimiles, translations of primary documents, and performance-ready music reconstructions.
