Description

The musical lives of New Spanish nuns can inform us about gender, sexuality, and race relations in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Starting with reflections on the Magnificat antiphon O Sapientia, located in a Mexico City chant book, I investigate the phenomenon of the Virgin Mary’s characterization as sound in convent music and devotional books that inspired nuns and their music making.
