Introduction
The field of confraternity studies has burgeoned in the Iberian Peninsula in recent years, but little in-depth research has as yet been done on their musical activities and the ways in which they added to the density and variety of the urban musical experience in the period from the Middle Ages to the eighteenth century. These activities shaped the urban soundscape to a far greater extent than has as yet been recognised among Spanish and Portugue…
The Contribution of Confraternities to the Urban Soundscape of Barcelona in the Early Modern Period
Sound was important to urban devotional and guild confraternities: sounds of various kinds, including organized and semi-improvised musics, served as acoustic signals that heralded their presence and communicated their identity; and different combinations of sounds characterized their devotional activities and ceremonies. Whether based at the cathedral or a collegiate, parish or conventual church, confraternities developed a sonic identity that d…
On the Trail of a Knight of Santiago
The 2011 discovery that the substantial collection of sixteenth-century printed partbooks preserved in Madrid’s Real Conservatorio Superior de Música originally belonged to an Austrian diplomat, Wolfgang Rumpf, has opened up new perspectives on the formation of early modern music libraries. Employed by the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, Rumpf was also an informant of Philip II of Spain, who rewarded him with induction into the chivalric Order of S…
Music and Instruments of the Middle Ages
Devotional Music in the Iberian World, 1450-1800
Preliminary Thoughts on the Dynamics of Music Printing in the Iberian Peninsula during the Sixteenth Century
Music printing in the Iberian Peninsula has been little studied and rarely has this specialized aspect of book production been considered in the broader context of more general trends in printing there during the sixteenth century. Music historiography has tended to assume that music printing failed to flourish because of poor local demand. However, more recent evidence, including analysis of book inventories, suggests that there was a thriving m…
La Libreria de Canto de Organo
Until remarkably recently, the main focus of Spanish musical historiography has been the cathedral: both as centre of musical activity and as repository of major musical sources from medieval times to the nineteenth century. Historically there are two main reasons why this has proved to be the case: first, the fact that musical and documentary material pertaining to the cathedrals in the Iberian world has, very largely, remained in situ; and, sec…
