Heitor Villa-Lobos’s Magdalena
This essay explores Magdalena, the sole foray into the Broadway musical by the celebrated Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos, which premiered in 1948. Until recently, “serious” musicology treated the musical only rarely. Nowadays, however, many scholars have analyzed the musical—considered by many the “quintessentially American” genre—from aesthetic, social, cultural, and political perspectives. Musicological study of Villa-Lobos reflects this…
Estudio de la música ibérica y latinoamericana en ascenso
Durante la primera mitad del siglo XX, la musicología se estableció como una disciplina académica en los Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, y aparte de los repertorios medievales y renacentistas ibéricos, los estudiosos estadounidenses hacían caso omiso de la música del mundo de habla hispana y portuguesa. ¿Por qué ha sido así, especialmente a la luz de la fuerte presencia histórica de España en los Estados Unidos? El presente ensayo autobiográfico exa…
If That Be Treason, Let Them Make the Most of It!”
On the evening of March 31, 1948, fighting words rang out from the podium at New York's Hotel Astor. Some 900 guests had assembled to hear various speakers hold forth on what one called the “tyrannous and murderous regime” of the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, the victor in the Spanish Civil War (1936–39).1 All present knew that many thousands of Spaniards once allied with the Second Spanish Republic (the left-leaning government Franco had to…
Saint-Saëns and Latin America
Ol’ Man River’ at the Front
Several scholars have discussed the impact of the Spanish Civil War on the Black singer, actor, and activist Paul Robeson, including his brief 1938 tour of Republican Spain. Yet none has considered the tour in musical terms, nor taken into account Spanish reaction. Drawing on coverage in the Republican press, along with recent work on vocality and identity, I argue that the tour challenged prior notions of blackness in Spain. Spanish journalists …

From "Greater America" to America's Music
This essay considers the hotly debated U.S. border and its relationship to music historiography vis-à-vis the unconventional career of Gilbert Chase (1906-92), the first U.S. musicologist to take seriously the music of the Spanish-speaking world. I draw on his papers, housed at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, to suggest that little-known facts of Chase's scholarly perspectives can give us food for thought in the fraught prese…

Saint-Saëns and Latin America
Falla (y Matheu), Manuel de
John Philip Sousa's El Capitan
Remember the Maine! To hell with Spain! These words, which rang throughout the United States during the spring of 1898, reflected the brash mood of a nation on the threshold of global power. Eager to flex its muscle around the world, the United States was especially inclined to view Latin America as a training ground for the principles of Manifest Destiny. To entrepreneurs, the region promised natural resources and cheap labor, to politicians, po…

Enrique Granados and Modern Piano Technique
Discusses parallels between Granados's approach to piano technique and that of Ludwig Deppe and Tobias Matthay, two pioneers in the reshaping of pianistic principles that took place at the turn of the century. Despite his relative isolation in Barcelona, Granados pursued strikingly modern ideas in piano playing, including principles of weight and relaxation, avoidance of finger-lifting, and preoccupation with fine gradations of tone. Primary sour…
