UMI 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, M148103 Acknowledgments First and foremost, I would like to thank Dr. Robert Stevenson, the father of us all, without whom it would have taken another half-century for this dissertation to be written. His contributions to our field cannot be exaggerated. His personal comments and advice were invaluable throughout the process of putting this study together. I also wish to thank the "'Next Generation" of hispanicists, a tight and always congenial group of brilliant scholars who follow in the giant foot­ steps of Dr. Stevenson. They include, in alphabetical order: Enrique Arias, Walter Clark, Carol Hess, Bernardo lllari, John Koegel, Paul Laird, Craig Russel, Leonora Saavedra, Michael Strasser, William Summers and Grayson Wagstaff, all of whom at one time or another helped this study along. I also would like to thank the Centro Nacional de Investigaci6n, Documentaci6n e Infonnaci6n--known to all students of Mexican music as C.E.N.I.D.LM.-for their assistance. In particular, a giant debt is owed to Aurelio Tello, whose ground-breaking work in the archives of the Oaxaca Cathedral paved the way for this study. In Oaxaca, I cannot thank enough the venerable Padre Fernando Vazquez Nuiiez, tireless guardian of the archives for almost half-a-century, who shared his realm with utmost grace. I am also indebted to Jesus Lizama Quijano, administrator of the restoration project in Oaxaca, who readily shared his findings with me. I am greatly indebted to Tom Brodhead, not only for his help with the transcriptions, but also for reminding me at every tum what this is all about. .. 11 In Davis, the help and support of the all the graduate students and the entire staff of the music department made it possible to survive-though sometimes just barely-the graduate school experience. In particular, I would like to tbank Rhio Barnhardt, Mathew Daines, Suzanne Elder­ Wallace, Patty Flowers, Carol Hess, Katherine Jang-Schu1ke, Don Meyer, and John Palmer. This dissertation is of course directly indebted to the members of my committee: David Nutter, Christopher Reynolds and Charles Walker. Their comments, suggestions and reviews shaped an evolving idea which finally resulted in this document. The entire music faculty at the University of California-Davis has provided unconditional support for which I will always be grateful. In addition to the members of my committee, I would like to thank Robert Bloch, Anna-Maria Busse-Berger, Jonathan Elkus, Zoila Mendoza-Walker, Pablo Ortiz, and Wayne Slawson. A special acknowledgment to D. Kern Holoman is in order, for his years of friendship and support, which will always be appreciated. Finally, you would not be holding this document in your hands if it weren't for the contributions of four very special people: my father David, for his unconditional love and support; David and Alex, who make me wonder what life was like before; and, of course, Jocelyn, who makes me smile, and to whom this book is dedicated. iii Table of Contents 1\c:lcno~l~ci~m~nts.......................................................................... ii Ust of Tabl~s, Figures and ExaJDples................................................ ..... v Introcluc:tion: Sc:op~, Purpe>se and Method................................................ 1 Chapter 1: Current State of Researc:b ..................................................... 13 Chapter 2: Oaxac:a.. ... .. ... ..... ........ .. .. ... .. .. .. .. ... .. .. ...... ... ...... .. ... 23 Chapter 3: The Oaxac:a Cathedral ........................................................... 38 Chapter 4: Nativ~ Id~ntity in Colonial Se>ci~ty........................................... 75 Chapter 5: Spanish ld~ntity in Ce>lonial Se>ci~ty........................................ 138 Chapter 6: N~~ Spain's Separate Path.................................................... 172 Chapter 7: Th~ Ex4men de OposiciOn anci th~ Qu~t fe>r a Modem Styl~ .............. 214 Chapter 8: S~ularization: Sumaya Brings N~~ Spain inro the Baroque.............. 263 Chapter 9: Th~ Oaxac:a Music:al Style...................................................... 290 Chapter 10: Conc:lusions. .................. ........... ..... ....... .......................... 315 Bibliography.................................................................................. 318 J\ppendix 1: Transc:riptions of Sel~ct~d Works........................................... 333 Sumaya: LaJD~ntac:i6n de Jer~mias.............................................. .. 334 Martinez de Ia Costa: Credidi a 6.... .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. ... .. .. 399 Herrera y Mota: Ofic:io de Nuestro Seiior San Pedro........................... 420 Herrera y Mota: Hymno d~ Nuestro S~iior San Pedro......................... 427 Sal~ado: Villanc:ico Sola Maria.................................................... 431 Guzman: Conc:ierto a 4 para Oposic:i6n..................................... ...... 440 Carrasc:o: Introit a la Misa d~ Nuestra Seiiora................................... 444 Carrasc:o: Benedictus a la Misa de Nuestra S~iiora. ............................. 452 J\ppendix 2: J\ddendum to Aurelio Tello's Catalo~e of~ Oaxac:a Catbednll...... 455 J\ppendix 3: Documents and Correspondence from th~ Oaxac:a Cathedral ........... 462 J\ppendix 4: Illustrations.................................................................. 475 J\ppendix 5: Published Works from the Oaxac:a Cathedral..............•............... 487 .

However, modern vocalists in the United States often overlook or misrepresent Indigenous features in performances of New Spanish repertoire. Vocalists typically must make choices about vocal techniques alone and, largely for lack of resources, in uninformed ways.

  • Manuel De Sumaya
    Craig H. Russell MANUEL DE SUMAVA: Reexamining the a Cappella Choral Music of a Mexican Master In 1710 the deteriorating eyesight of chapelmaster Antonio de Salazar necessitated that he find an assistant to help with his musical obligations and teaching duties at the Mexico City Cathedral and the Public School (Escoleta Publica). Overriding a seniority system that would have placed Francisco de Atienza y Pineda as his right-hand man, Salazar chose as his assistant his own aspiring pupil, Manuel de Sumaya. 1 Instead of 1 I would like to express my deepest thanks to Robert Snow for having sent me facsimiles of the pieces discussed in this article years ago when I first developed an interest in Su­ maya and his music.

  • Peace in Palestine Via the World Heritage Convention
    . Michael K. Madison II. Peace in Palestine ..........through World Heritage Promoting Peace via Global Conventions - 1 - Peace in Palestine via the World Heritage Convention Promoting Peace via Global Conventions The Global Problem "Throughout history, religious differences have divided men and women from their neighbors and have served as justification for some of humankind's bloodiest conflicts. In the modern world, it has become clear that people of all religions must bridge these differences and work together, to ensure our survival and realize the vision of peace that all faiths share." -- H.R.H. Prince El-Hassan bin Talal, Jordan Moderator, WCRP Governing Board Tolerance, Economic Growth and Fear Global peace and harmony is not possible without religious tolerance. Unfortunately, there is no instant microwavable solution. We can’t just add water and/or milk to the current situation and hope that the world will ameliorate itself overnight. No. The world needs help. The problem is not the outliers; it is larger groups of people that need to change. Outliers will always be present. The world needs religious-minded policymakers to take giant steps that lead to peace, but in a mutually beneficial way. Indeed, peace for peace’s sake is not always enough incentive to all parties involved. Therefore, if the conflict cannot be resolved by tolerance, then let it be resolved by greed as we find a way to help the countries involved to achieve a better economic position. If the conflict cannot be resolved by boosting the corresponding economies, then let it be resolved by fear as we convince the nations involved that one false move means it will be - 2 - their country against the rest of the world and not just their “enemy of the day”.

The management of sustainable tourism in a World Heritage site is an issue of universal relevance, due to the importance of its preservation for future generations. We also have to consider that in each city tourism can have a different meaning; while for some destinations it implies an asset, for the communities of others it can represent a threat, due to the displacement that the local population can suffer. In the face of any public policy on tourism, it must be considered that each destination has a different potential and is at a different stage in its life. Thus, well-managed tourism can help local people to value authenticity and promote what is distinctive about their place; it can also be an important vehicle for promoting cultural exchange and for preserving traditional local businesses. It is important to recognize that the uniqueness of World Heritage Cities and their relationship to creative industries is part of the most relevant tourist attraction in these historic cities.
