Resumen
Entre los estudios que dan cuenta de la actividad musical en la imperial ciudad del Cusco, sede del antiguo Tahuantinsuyo, devenida centro nuclear de la vida cultural, artística, religiosa y de otros órdenes del mundo virreinal en el sur peruano, destaca el que hace algunos años dio a conocer Geoffrey Baker, músico e investigador británico, con el título de Imposing Harmony: Music and Society in Colonial Cusco (2008), a cuyo contenido accedimos en una ponencia en el congreso de musicología realizado en el marco del Festival de Música Barroca y Renacentista “Misiones de Chiquitos” efectuado en Santa Cruz de la Sierra en el 2008. Una docena de años después, el Fondo Editorial de la PUCP puso en circulación la versión en español de este trabajo con el título de Armonía dominante, Música y sociedad en el Cusco colonial, que amplía los horizontes de conocimiento sobre una ciudad de rico pasado histórico, en la que han quedado huellas materiales contundentes de la actividad de compositores, maestros de capilla, cantores, ministriles, ejecutantes de instrumentos y centros musicales de variado perfil: su catedral, sus parroquias, conventos, pueblos misionales o doctrinas, su universidad y, por qué no, sus calles, plazas y espacios públicos.
Among the studies that account for musical activity in the imperial city of Cusco, seat of the ancient Tahuantinsuyu, which became the nuclear center of cultural, artistic, religious and other kinds of life in the viceregal world in southern Peru, the one that stands out a few years ago was published by Geoffrey Baker, a British musician and researcher, with the title Imposing Harmony: Music and Society in Colonial Cusco (2008), whose content we accessed in a presentation at the musicology congress held within the framework of the Baroque and Renaissance Music Festival “Misiones de Chiquitos” held in Santa Cruz de la Sierra in 2008. A dozen years later, the PUCP Publishing Fund put into circulation the Spanish version of this work with the title Dominant Harmony, Music and Society in Colonial Cusco, which broadens the horizons of knowledge about a city with a rich historical past, in which there are strong material traces of the activity of composers, choirmasters, singers, minstrels, instrument players and musical centres of varied profiles: its cathedral, its parishes, convents, missionary towns or doctrines, its university and, why not, its streets, squares and public spaces.
