The Musical Iconography of Power in Seventeenth-Century Spain and Her Territories
Part of the series: Political and Popular Culture in the Early Modern Period.
In seventeenth-century Spain, the imagery of musical performance was used by the state to represent the monarch’s power and to denote harmony throughout the kingdom. This was a particularly important strategy at a time when the country was experiencing economic and political crises. Using contemporary sources, Sara Gonzalez demonstrates that the success of this scheme lies in the long history of Western cultural usage of musical iconography, where musical symbols were allied to good governance.
