Emulação e hibridismo na Península Ibérica: Antecedentes medievais

Abstract

The following paper is a prepublication, in Portuguese translation, of a chapter now in press in its original language (English). It will be published as an Introduction in the peer-reviewed book Musical Exchanges, 1100-1650: Iberian Connections (Kassel, Reichenberger, 2015), edited by Manuel Pedro Ferreira. 

This is a panoramic synthesis concerning the relationship between Iberian music and the different cultural centralities in both East and West that, between c. 500 and c. 1450, left their mark in European music. The discussion encompasses the Old Hispanic rite, Islamic Iberia and its songs of the zajal and muwashshah type, liturgical developments in the Christian kingdoms, troubadour song, popular and devotional song (the Cantigas de Santa Maria), and polyphony. Centralities implied include Jerusalem, Toledo, Aachen, the Aquitaine, Baghdad, Cordoba, Paris, Avignon and the Italian Peninsula.
