Traditional musicology has tended to see the Spanish eighteenth
century as a period of decline, but this 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 much recent 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.
