In an age of hyper-specialization, Robert M. Stevenson reminds us
of a time when an exceptional musician could easily work in various
disciplines without being accused of dilettantism. Over his long
career he has become an exceptional pianist, composer, teacher, and
scholar. Few others can boast the sheer volume and groundbreaking
nature of his scholarship, but virtually no one can also claim to
have done this while producing compositions that were performed by
major musical organizations such as the Philadelphia Orchestra. His
place in American musical history is secure and considerable. The
time is well past for volume of work to be published in his honor.
This collection of essays honors the subject that may be the most
visible of his long career, the sacred music of Iberian and Latin
American Renaissance. Stevenson's Spanish Cathedral Music and Music
in the Age of Columbus, published over forty years ago, remain the
standard surveys of these subjects. The collection features
contributions by a group of scholars who feel an immense debt of
gratitude for his foundational work in this area, and it brings
together studies of musical and archival sources, performance
practices, institutional traditions, chant traditions, and
compositional approaches related to music produced in Spain,
Portugal, and Latin America during the years 1480-1650, a time of
exceedingly rich artistic output.
