Workshop-laboratory: “Sources and Musical Practices in Extraordinary Liturgical Ceremonies of the Hispanic World (17th Century)”
From 04 December to 06 December Spain / Baeza, Jaén, Spain
We are pleased to announce the call for participation in the workshop-laboratory:
“Sources and Musical Practices in Extraordinary Liturgical Ceremonies of the Hispanic World (17th Century)”
4–6 December 2025
Baeza, Spain, Universidad Internacional de Andalucía (UNIA)
Application deadline: 28 November 2025
In the seventeenth century, extraordinary liturgical ceremonies unfolded a fascinating sonic and ritual universe in which music played a central role. This workshop-laboratory offers an immersion into those celebrations through the study of musical sources, theoretical treatises, chronicles, and liturgical ceremonials. The case of the consecration of Puebla Cathedral in 1649 will serve as a point of departure for a historically informed and collective reconstruction of plainchant, organ chant, polychoral repertory, and their performative and scenic dimensions. Participants will take part in both theoretical sessions and performance practice activities, culminating in a public concert by Capella Prolationum (Spain) and Ensemble La Danserye (Spain), within the framework of the Úbeda & Baeza Early Music Festival.
