by Claudio Palomares-Salas

~~95,39€~~ 85,85€ 10% OFF

Author Claudio Palomares-Salas delves into every aspect of Canto Nuevo's evolution, from its origins during the 1968 student movement to its peak and eventual decline two decades later.Palomares-Salas offers a comprehensive, rigorous, and easy-to-follow path to understand Canto Nuevo in all its complexity, discussing Canto Nuevo's nomenclature and temporality, the Marxist-humanist principles that defined the movement's lyrical production and governed the lives of its participants, as well as the folklorization processes that were at the core of Canto Nuevo's origins and development. He examines Canto Nuevo's relationship with other militant song movements, such as Chilean Nueva CanciA n, Cuban Nueva Trova, and Uruguayan Canto Popular, reasserting Mexican Canto Nuevo in current academic discussions on the pan-Latin American Nueva CanciA n movement of the 1960s-1980s.

Music And Cosmopolitanism - Rio De Janeiro At The Turn Of The 20th Century

by Cristina Magaldi

~~64,91€~~ 58,42€ 10% OFF

 Music and Cosmopolitanism is a musical portrait of a city-Rio de Janeiro. Award-winning author Cristina Magaldi takes readers on an auditory tour through the city's early post-Imperial years, a period of crucial transition, as she surveys the city's variegated 'soundscape.' With visits to opera theaters and dance halls, and from symphony concerts to the cabaret, music halls, and the street, Magaldi moves through a gamut of musical expressions in Rio de Janeiro during these critical years of change. Her investigations demonstrate that the city's musical practices were articulated within a cosmopolitan context shared by residents in cities in the Americas and Europe, as she examines the musical and cultural interactions that resulted from early processes of urbanization, globalization, and the circulation of technology and information into and out of the Brazilian capital. While Rio de Janeiro's particular geography, urban spaces, and specific social and ethnic interactions all played roles in characterizing unique local musical practices, Music and Cosmopolitanism focuses on how these practices were linked to and fueled by the circulation of music on the international stage.To understand music and performance as part of a larger system of human connections and disconnections that are always in motion, this book offers a story of musical Rio de Janeiro that was built as much as, or perhaps more so, from the outside in than from within its socio-historical and cultural contexts - a city that grew to become one place containing many worlds.

Mario Lavista - Mirrors Of Sounds

 This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International license. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. Composer, pianist, editor, writer, and pedagogue Mario Lavista (1943-2021) was a central figure of the cultural and artistic scene in Mexico and one of the leading Ibero-American composers of his generation. His music is often described as evocative and poetic, noted for his meticulous attention to timbre and motivic permutation, and his creative trajectory was characterized by its intersections with the other arts, particularly poetry and painting. Lavista was a relational composer; he did not write music as a private enterprise but for and alongside people with whom he established close relations. Understanding analysis as an affective practice, author Ana R. Alonso-Minutti explores the intertextual connections between the multiple texts--musical or otherwise--that are present in Lavista''s music. Alonso-Minutti argues that, through adopting an interdisciplinary and transhistorical approach to music composition, Lavista forged a cosmopolitan imaginary that challenged stereotypes of what Mexican music should sound like. This imaginary becomes a strategy of resistance against imperialist agendas placed upon postcolonial peripheries. Departing from traditional biographical and chronological frameworks that exalt masters and masterworks, the author offers a nuanced, personal narrative informed by conversations with composers, performers, artists, choreographers, poets, writers, and filmmakers. Through an innovative mosaic of methodologies, from archival work, to musical and intertextual analysis, oral history, and (auto)ethnography, this book is the first in-depth study of Lavista''s compositional career and offers a contextual panorama of the contemporary music scene in Mexico

Immaculate Sounds - The Musical Lives Of Nuns In New Spain

by Cesar D. Favila

72,86€ + 10% CARD

 In Catholic doctrine, the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary is the belief that Mary, the mother of Christ, was exempt from original sin from the moment of her conception, and thereby a co-redeemer alongside her son. Praise for this complicated devotion took place in Europe throughout the medieval period and resounded in the Americas with the founding of the first convent in Mexico City under the Order of the Immaculate Conception in 1540. All other orders of nuns in New Spain branched out from this convent, spreading the Marian devotion throughout the region. In this book, author Cesar D. Favila argues that the sonification of virginity and the Virgin Mary was fundamental to the promotion of the Immaculate Conception doctrine, and that this was part of a complex network of sonified practices in the lives of New Spanish nuns. These "immaculate sounds," a term Favila uses for the cloistered nuns'' idealized vocalizations as well as the expression of doctrinal rhetoric through musical metaphors, echoed the highly regulated realm of the convent and played a pivotal role in mediating between the lives of New Spanish nuns and the expectation that they would save the secular world with their vocalized prayers. In addition to the sonification of discipline, Favila shows that immaculate sounds also enhanced the nuns'' engagement with their religious practices and facilitated embodied and spiritual engagement with Catholic doctrines. Throughout his study, he delves into rarely studied music sources from seventeenth- and eighteenth-century New Spain alongside the rulebooks, devotional literature, and nuns'' biographies that regulated convent life and inspired nuns'' hymns. In doing so, Favila brings together a narrative of salvation that shines a light on the musical lives of nuns and locates women''s agency within a hierarchical society that silenced some women and required others to sing.
