Empire, diplomacy, and the racial imagination
This article uses Spain's participation at the Cairo Congress of Arab Music (1932) as the basis to raise questions pertaining to the place of Arab music in the racial imagination of Europeans. It argues that Spain's unique response to the challenges arising from the study of Arab music in a context of colonial rivalry reveals still uncharted tensions and fractures running through musicology and Orientalist discourse at the time. My line of inquir…
Aimée Boutin, City of Noise
City of Noise is doubtlessly a groundbreaking contribution to the study of historical urban soundscapes in modern cities. The book takes significant steps towards understanding the complex relationship between, on one hand, the different sound practices that take place in the city, and, on the other, the economic and cultural struggles in which different urban population groups took part. Boutin thus makes a valuable contribution towards understa…
Spanish sound studies
Recent decades have seen a growing interest in “sound studies”, a field of study that addresses the role of the auditory in culture and society. Sound studies is best understood as encompassing a b
Noising forth social change
The following discussion is focused on performances by the Orfeón Socialista de Madrid (OSM, 1900–1936). As they created and appropriated acoustic territories in the city, these performances contributed to the making of local political identities in Madrid in ways that offset the prevalence of journalistic and political discourse, which served primarily middle-class interests. The OSM’s performances lend themselves to being analyzed through the p…
Discordant Notes
Scholarship on urban culture and the senses has traditionally focused on the study of literature and the visual arts. Recent decades have seen a surge of interest in the effects of sound on the urban space and its population. These studies analyze how sound generates identities that are often fragmentary and mutually conflicting. They have also explored the rise of campaigns against the negative effects of noise on the nerves and health of the po…
A New Order?
This chapter describes how organilleros , in spite of all the nuisance that they caused, played a key role in the formation of a middle-class lifestyle in Madrid. Organilleros represented everything that the rising middle classes rejected, such as coarseness and lack of refinement. The middle classes used organilleros as an Other against which to define themselves. Parallel to the legal persecution of organilleros in the 1890s, the press circulat…
The Band and Social Disorder
This chapter discusses how the privatization of social aid from the 1850s allowed the San Bernardino band to make certain choices about the events it played at. This asset would backfire in the long term, as the band started to get involved in a series of politically radical events. At the Children’s Festival (1888), the San Bernardino band was used by the Liberals to silence the antiliberal song “En revenant de la revue” played by competing band…
Inside the Workhouse
This chapter explores the regime of discipline and punishment that reigned in the San Bernardino workhouse and analyzes the role played by the band and music academy to help maintain that discipline. All aspects of life at the workhouse were aimed at instilling moral rectitude and increasing productivity at the in-house workshops, where inmates were subjected to forced labor. Music played a key role in helping to maintain a regime of discipline w…
Mapping street sounds in the nineteenth-century city
Listening in the nineteenth-century city was regulated by mapping techniques that were specific to that context. Sound mapping did not consist only on locating sounds on a two-dimensional representation of physical space. It also relied on the use inscriptions, laws and discourse to make reality conform to a certain mental map, in which acoustic territories were delimited by concerns and anxieties with the support of economic and political power.…

Writing Wrongdoing in Spain, 1800-1936
Street Music, Honour and Degeneration
From the mid-nineteenth century to the Civil War of 1936, Madrid experienced notable social and physical changes that were provoked by economic and technological modernization. One of the ways in which the authorities tried to respond to Madrid's rapid population growth and the rise of social inequalities was through control of the urban space. An expansion of the city to the north, east and south, known as the Ensanche, and with a grid layout, m…
Public Enemy or National Hero? The Spanish Gypsy and the Rise of Flamenquismo , 1898–1922
The vindication of the Gypsy as a hero in some works by Manuel Falla and Federico García Lorca and through the cante jondo competition of 1922 is well known to scholars. What is perhaps less known is that Falla and Lorca reacted against a long tradition of abusing Gypsies in the media, that peaked during the Restoration. This article analyses the cultural production that prompted Falla and Lorca to write in defence of the Gypsy, and pays particul…
Music theatre and popular nationalism in Spain, 1880–1930
It was high time a book-length, comprehensive study on zarzuela was published in English. The theatrical and musical genre known as zarzuela is the field of specialism of many Spanish musicologists
Jann Pasler, Composing the Citizen
In Composing the Citizen, Jann Pasler presents a study on music as a "public utility" in Third Republic France. The author takes us on a journey through the institutional and ideological apparatus on which attempts to achieve social cohesion in that context were grounded, and explains how music helped to articulate and maintain it. The journey is a fascinating one, as it draws on a wide array of methodological approaches that range from urban ant…
Hispanic Traditions in a Cross-Cultural Perspective
The French composer Raoul Laparra held an advanced knowledge of Spanish culture and music that was rare among French musicians. In his first opera, La habanera (Opéra-Comique, 1908), he tried to represent a Spain that was 'different from Carmen', focused on the 'colder' central region of Castile rather than southern, gypsy stereotypes. However, owing to several inconsistencies in his ideological agenda, and the weight of conventional representati…
