Music Criticism and Music Critics in Early Francoist Spain

Eva Moreda Rodríguez

Music Criticism and Music Critics in Early Francoist Spain is the first comprehensive study of music criticism under the early Franco regime. It proposes to make a contribution to the study of political influence on music during this era by expanding the categories of the political. Indeed, although the book does not shy away from examining the most obvious aspects of government influence on music criticism (through censorship and the press law), it also considers a number of other aspects to explain the multiplicity of points of view, divergences, and even controversies that can be found in music criticism of the period. Such aspects include, first, the rivalries between factions during the early Franco regime, with which critics self-identified to differing extents; second, the political and musical background of music critics, whose opinions and ideas had been shaped by decadelong debates on national identity, nationalism, and modernism; and third, the expectations and restrictions placed on them implicitly or explicitly. The book focuses on four themes through the writings of seven music critics, although these are contextualized through frequent references to other individuals: Joaquin Turina and Regino Sainz de la Maza on music performance; Federico Sopena on new music; Nemesio Otano, Higinio Angles, and Julio Gomez on Spanish early music; and Joaquin Rodrigo on traditional music.

Higher Education in Music in the Twenty-First Century

Bjorn Heile; Eva Moreda Rodríguez; J. Stanley

In this book, the contributors reconsider the fundamentals of Music as a university discipline by engaging with the questions: What should university study of music consist of? Are there any aspects, repertoires, pieces, composers and musicians that we want all students to know about? Are there any skills that we expect them to be able to master? How can we guarantee the relevance, rigour and cohesiveness of our curriculum? What is specific to higher education in music and what does it mean now and for the future? The book addresses many of the challenges students and teachers face in current higher education; indeed, the majority of today’s music students undoubtedly encounter a greater diversity of musical traditions and critical approaches to their study as well as a wider set of skills than their forebears. Welcome as these developments may be, they pose some risks too: more material cannot be added to the curriculum without either sacrificing depth for breadth or making much of it optional. The former provides students with a superficial and deceptive familiarity with a wide range of subject matter, but without the analytical skills and intellectual discipline required to truly master any of it. The latter easily results in a fragmentation of knowledge and skills, without a realistic opportunity for students to draw meaningful connections and arrive at a synthesis.

Música, ciencia y pensamiento en España e Iberoamérica durante el siglo XX, Ed. by Leticia Sanchez de Andres and Adela Presas

Eva Moreda Rodríguez

Este libro sostiene que el Cantar de Mio Cid hubo de ser compuesto en el monasterio benedictino de San Pedro de Cardeña, cerca de Burgos. Se trata de una hipótesis que no había planteado ninguno de los principales estudiosos del poema, pero obviamente no nace en el vacío. Zaderenko comienza trazando un panorama crítico sobre el problema de las conexiones entre las leyendas épicas y los cultos sepulcrales, pues Rodrigo Díaz apenas tuvo relación en vida con la abadía. El vínculo definitivo se establecería póstumamente, cuando fue enterrado allí después de que su esposa se viera obligada a abandonar Valencia con su cadáver en 1102. Seguidamente se trata la cuestión de la fabricación de leyendas en Cardeña. Zaderenko da argumentos a favor de que allí se elaboró una perdida Estoria del Cid, hipótesis considerada necesaria por investigadores destacados de diversas tendencias, aunque impugnada por Montaner. A continuación se aborda como se insertaría la composición del poema en tal actividad. Zaderenko rescata lo más aprovechable de un olvidado artículo de Francisco Serrano Castilla y señala cómo los versos que describen la visita del Cid a Cardeña coinciden con lo dispuesto en la regla benedictina. Sigue un útil capítulo sobre las plegarias y fórmulas devotas en el poema, y otros dos sobre la cuestión del matrimonio y el divorcio en el Mio Cid y su época. Después Zaderenko intenta apoyar su hipótesis indicando que se puede aplicar a ella el tipo de argumentación aducida por Deyermond a favor de que el autor de las Mocedades de Rodrigo fue un clérigo adscrito a la diócesis de Palencia. Por último, aborda la cuestión de la transmisión del texto: el perdido manuscrito de 1207 debió de ser copiado por un Per Abbat documentado en el Libro de memorias y aniversarios de Cardeña, mientras que el códice conservado se habría realizado allí en el siglo XIV. Las observaciones de Zaderenko son siempre ajustadas, pero haymargen para discrepar de ella en la evaluación de los indicios. Algunos aducidos como pruebas son más bien elementos compatibles con su hipótesis y admiten explicaciones alternativas. El Mio Cid presenta además componentes que encajan mal con su supuesta concepción en Cardeña. Entre las viejas objeciones, la mención como abad de Sancho en vez de Sisebuto resultaría difícilmente imaginable en un autor tan detallista si este hubiera tenido fácil acceso a la documentación de la abadía; el contraste con su tratamiento de la figura del obispo de Valencia, cuyo nombre y otros detalles corresponden a la realidad, es particularmente llamativo. Es también difícil imaginar que un monje hubiera concebido un héroe ejemplar que se guía por agüeros. Las condenas de la Iglesia a la ornitomancia y otras prácticas divinatorias eran terminantes y llegaban a influir en el derecho civil. Por limitarse a obras presentes en la biblioteca de Cardeña, san Isidoro decía que tales artes procedían de la ‘pestifera societate hominum et angelorum malorum’ (Etymologiae, VIII.ix.31) y Graciano advertía que quien las practicaba ‘iram Dei grauiter in eternum incurrisse’ (Decretum, II.xxvi.7), salvo penitencia; como su modelo el Liber Iudiciorum, el Fuero Juzgo las castigaría: el culpable ‘reciba cien azotes, e si depués tornare en ello, pierda toda buena testimonia e reciba otros cien azotes’ (VI.ii.3). La analogía del Mio Cid con las Mocedades de Rodrigo es dudosa, pues ambos poemas, separados por siglo y medio largo, tienen texturas muy diferentes y seguramente obedecen a circunstancias de composición distintas. En cuanto a la tradición manuscrita, el

Transatlantic Networks in the Correspondence of Two Exiled Spanish Musicians, Julián Bautista and Adolfo Salazar

Eva Moreda Rodríguez

Studies of the Spanish Republican exile, both musicological and otherwise, have often worked under the assumption that the exiles were disconnected from Francoist Spain and were thus unable to contribute in any way to the musical life of their home country. This article re-examines these assumptions by analysing a hitherto unexplored corpus of correspondence between two exiled musicians, Julian Bautista and Adolfo Salazar, and other musicians who had stayed in Francoist Spain. Such correspondence suggests that the exiles could, and indeed did, contribute to Spanish musical life under Francoism in a variety of ways.ABSTRACT Studies of the Spanish Republican exile, both musicological and otherwise, have often worked under the assumption that the exiles were disconnected from Francoist Spain and were thus unable to contribute in any way to the musical life of their home country.
