[email protected]. 1 Development and Dissemination: Deliberations on Spanish Renaissance Music Personal experience is often the best way to pique my interest in a topic. This is certainly true in my desire to research elements of Spanish music. In the summer of 2014, I had the opportunity to travel to Barcelona, Spain and visit the various tourist destinations of that beautiful city. While I was there, I was able to attend a flamenco dancing performance. I was amazed by the talent of the dancers and musicians, who used rhythms and tones that were somewhat unfamiliar to my classically trained ears. The poetry of the music seamlessly fit in with the music of the guitars and the steps and expression of the dancers.
