Description
This presentation outlines the initial developments of In-Music: Interactive Tools for the Study and the Enhancement of Music Iconography, a project supported by a 2024 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Post-Doctoral Fellowship and hosted by the DIDPATRI research group at the University of Barcelona.
Bridging historical musicology, music iconology, and digital humanities, In-Music aims to provide scholars and cultural institutions with interactive resources for studying and engaging with music-iconographical heritage. At its core is the development of a semantic database designed to facilitate interdisciplinary research and support the creation of digital tools that enhance accessibility in educational and museal contexts.
Focusing on Early Modern Spanish musical imagery, In-Music places particular emphasis on the former territories of the Crown of Aragon. By mapping and structuring visual sources from this historically interconnected region, the project not only sheds light on Iberian musical culture but also encourages comparative, transregional, and diachronic analysis for broader exploration of music-iconographical themes across the Mediterranean.
Eight months into the project, this paper will present an overview of the sources compiled and the initial structure of the database, reflecting on methodological challenges and preliminary insights that have emerged from the research.
