Abstract This monograph examines the musical modernist era in Mexico between 1945 and the 1970s. It aims to provide a new understanding of the eclecticism achieved by Mexican composers during this era, using three different focal points. First, I examine the cultural and musical context of this period of Mexican music history. I scrutinize the major events, personalities, and projects that precipitated Mexican composers’ move away from government-promoted musical nationalism during this period toward an embrace of international trends. I then provide a case study through which to better understand this era, examining the early life, education, and formative influences of Mexican composer Federico Ibarra (b.1946), focusing particularly on the 1960s and 1970s.

    Música para charlar Música para charlar is the title of a piece by Silvestre Revueltas, and can be translated as “chit-chat” or “background music.” Hopefully, the music on this concert will mark the beginning of a fruitful dialogue between those who make music on both sides of the border: some small talk over the picket fence that separates our neighboring backyards or, as Revueltas would have liked it, a frank exchange of ideas over, let’s say, a few glasses of tequila. —Carlos Sanchez-Gutierrez This concert is made possible in part by major grants from the US-Mexico San Francisco Contemporary Music Players Fund for Culture and the Clarence E. Heller Charitable Foundation. We thank also the Zellerbach Family Fund and the William and Flora Hewlett Monday, May 13, 2002 at 8 pm Foundation for their support of this evening’s program.

That’s how minute Flanders looks on a map of the world, if you can discover it at all. However, a felicitous turn of his- tory has made this region into an exciting crossroads of different cultures. This is why Flanders is so rich in creative talent and abundant with cultural activities.
