Description
Musical epigraphies are historical musical sources written or inscribed on a hard or semi-hard support that endures over time. Musical epigraphies as historical sources are of utmost importance for religious studies, as they were part of a mode of cultural, social, and artistic expression created by Christian communities in their acts of worship and rituals. These are a pending case study within the musicological panorama in Spain. The known samples have been collected by different authors, who have reported on their findings. However, the lack of systematization in the studies raises the need to develop a theoretical and methodological proposal for the treatment of this type of musical sources that would accommodate a museum plan with the aim of restoring, disseminating, and preserving heritage. To this end, two case studies will be exemplified. The first deals with the musical epigraphies of a Salve Regina by Cristóbal de Morales located on the walls of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Pueyo in Villamayor de Gállego in Zaragoza. The second focuses on the epigraphies found in the former convent of the Calmelitas Calzados in Valencia. For the latter, a model of museumization will be presented, which was carried out through the Consorci de Museus and is currently on permanent display at the Centre del Carme Cultura Contemporània (CCCC) in Valencia. The recognition of this type of source, historical musical epigraphies, as cultural assets guarantees the preservation of a part of Valencian and Spanish musical heritage, promoting its research and study.
