Pre-Columbian Music

The pre-Columbian period in Mexico was a time of great cultural and musical diversity. The many different indigenous groups that inhabited the region had their own unique musical traditions, which were often closely tied to their religious beliefs and social customs. The dictionary provides detailed information on the instruments, genres, and performance practices of these traditions, drawing on a wide range of sources including archaeological evidence, historical accounts, and ethnomusicological research.

Colonial Music

The arrival of the Spanish in Mexico in the 16th century had a profound impact on the musical landscape of the region. The Spanish introduced new instruments, genres, and performance practices, which gradually blended with the indigenous traditions to create a new and distinctive musical style. The dictionary provides a comprehensive overview of this period, discussing the role of the church in the development of music, the emergence of secular music genres, and the influence of European music on Mexican composers.

The dictionary provides detailed information on the major composers and musical genres of this period, including the development of opera, symphony, and popular music.
