A very fruitful session today, dealing with different aspects of the project. Probably the most interesting discussion has been about the criteria for selection of the repertory that we will be analysing. Which pieces, authors, styles, genres will make a good sample? Thanks João Pedro d'Alvarenga, Manuel Pedro Ferreira, Ken Kreitner, Bernadette, Owen Rees, Nuno Raimundo, Esperanza Rodriguez and Isabel Pires (Tess Knighton we missed you) for your input.

Yesterday, 1st December, Portugal celebrated its definitive independence from Spain (Restauração da Independência) in 1640. It was also the end of the so-called Iberian Union, which started in 1580 with Philip II of Spain becoming Philip I of Portugal. Up until that point, the histories of Spain and Portugal are closely intertwined, not only politically but also culturally.
Our project will be analysing how those relationships crystallised in Iberian music up until the 1520s. Have a look at the sources from Spanish and Portuguese origin that we will be using in our quest!

During the first stage of the project we will be examining 22 manuscript volumes located in Portugal (8), Spain (12) and France (2), plus one Portuguese print. These are: E-Bbc M. 454 E-Boc Ms. 5 E…
