Within an interdisciplinary context that involves visual art, Latin American history, and religious studies, students will critically engage the villancico and other liturgical music genres, including pieces by composers such as Hernando Franco, Francisco López Capillas, Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla, Juan García de Céspedes, Manuel de Sumaya, Antonio de Salazar, Santiago Billoni, and Ignacio Jerusalem. We will engage primary, unedited sources, but also consider evidence about indigenous and European oral traditions. Finally, the class situates the revival of these repertoires since the 1980s within the contemporary history of the early music movement, and explores how performers reimagine the colonial past as a way to foster ideas of community and diversity in early music practice, regardless of historical authenticity. Knowledge of Spanish is helpful but not required.
