Excerpt from The Music of Spain The idea of the author of this book is perhaps better expressed in the title of its first chapter, "Spain and Music," than by The Music of Spain, for the author does not deal solely with the subject in relation to historical periods, schools, or style, as is often the case with books of this kind. The present work appears to embrace everything related to music, provided it affects or is affected by Spain in some degree, no matter how small or insignificant. The period extends from the XVI. Century to the present day, or, in order to make the reader realize at once the true character of his work, I should say that the author encircles his subject in a huge ring or parenthesis that opens with Antonio Cabezon, the Spanish bach (according to Pedrell) and closes with the gypsy dancer and singer, Pastora Imperio, queen of the Spanish "varieties" stage of to-day.

WHEN one considers the Spanish music brought forward in New York in the season of 1915-16, one is surprised that Mr. Carl Van Vechten's book, "The Music of Spain,"* is the only one that has been written that brings to general attention this delightful and little-known music. In that year, the picturesque opera Goyescas, by Enrique Granados, was given at the Metropolitan Opera House; Geraldine Farrar and Maria Gay achieved brilliant successes in Bizet's Carmen; Maria Barrientos, the Spanish singer made her debut here; later Pablo Casals, the Spanish cellist, pleased appreciative audiences, also Miguel Llobet, the guitar virtuoso. Later also by a few months, there followed Joaquin Valverde's colorful revue, "The Land of Joy," with its display of Spanish costumes, dazzlingly brilliant unfamiliar Spanish dancing, and equally unfamiliar and beautiful Spanish music. Mr. Van Vechten writes of these events crisply and informationally. Three essays and notes on the text make up the volume. He says that very little of the best Spanish music is available here. Important scores are as yet unpublished and others are not listed in even the libraries. His pages on Spanish dancing are vivid. Almost one hears the tapping of slippered feet, the clink of castanets and sees the Goya costumes with their lace flounces, the mantillas, combs, and shawls that mean-Spain. Among the illustrations are portraits of noted Spanish dancers in costume, Mary Garden as Carmen, and an interesting portrait of the Spanish composer Tomas Breton, head of the Royal Conservatory of Madrid. Mr. Van Vechten's previous critical works on music are: "Music and Bad Manners," "Interpreters and Interpretations," and "Music After the Great war." They are stimulating, unconventional criticisms of art and music. -"Review of Reviews," Volume 59 [1919]

Traditional musicology has tended to see the Spanish eighteenth century as a period of decline, but this 1998 volume shows it to be rich in interest and achievement. Covering stage genres, orchestral and instrumental music and vocal music (both sacred and secular), it brings together the results of research on such topics as opera, musical instruments, the secular cantata and the villancico and challenges received ideas about how Italian and Austrian music of the period influenced (or was opposed by) Spanish composers and theorists. Two final chapters outline the presence of Spanish musical sources in the New World.

Made in Spain: Studies in Popular Music will serve as a comprehensive and rigorous introduction to the history, sociology and musicology of 20th century Spanish popular music. The volume will consist of 16 essays by leading scholars of Spanish music and will cover the major figures, styles and social contexts of pop music in Spain. Although all the contributors are Spanish, the essays will be expressly written for an international English-speaking audience. No knowledge of Spanish music or culture will be assumed. Each section will feature a brief introduction by the volume editors, while each essay will provide adequate context so readers understand why the figure or genre under discussion is of lasting significance to Spanish popular music. The book first presents a general description of the history and background of popular music, followed by essays organized into thematic sections.

Flamenco Music and National Identity in Spain explores the efforts of the current government in southern Spain to establish flamenco music as a significant patrimonial symbol and marker of cultural identity. Further, it aims to demonstrate that these Andalusian efforts form part of the ambitious project of rethinking the nation-state of Spain, and of reconsidering the nature of national identity. A salient theme in this book is that the development of notions of style and identity are mediated by social institutions. Specifically, the book documents the development of flamenco's musical style by tracing the genre's development, between 1880 and 1980, and demonstrating the manner in which the now conventional characterization of the flamenco style was mediated by krausist, modernist, and journalist institutions. Just as importantly, it identifies two recent institutional forces, that of audio recording and cinema, that promote a concept of musical style that sharply contrasts with the conventional notion. By emphasizing the importance of forward-looking notions of style and identity, Flamenco Music and National Identity in Spain makes a strong case for advancing the Spanish experiment in nation-building, but also for re-thinking nationalism and cultural identity on a global scale.
