Reviews

Playing in the Cathedral is an informative and incisive case study. The author describes the soundscape of Bourbon Mexico City, illuminates the world of musical performance (then, as now, filled with clashing personalities and competitive machinations), and clearly explicates - without becoming too technical - the ongoing changes in music theory. Most importantly, he demonstrates how musicians participated in and responded to contemporary socioeconomic and cultural processes. * The American Historical Review *


Author Information

The work of Jesús A. Ramos-Kittrell focuses on the intersection of religious and secular thought as a basic tension that shaped early modernity culture. Specifically, he is concerned with how music in New Spain articulated social meanings and perceptions in relation to the political and economic landscape of the early modern Hispanic world.
