Metodología para la identificación de composiciones y el establecimiento de concordancias: el caso de los inventarios de la Capilla de música de la Catedral de Málaga (1800-1836) y las obras en castellano de Esteban Redondo

Abstract

During the first third of the nineteenth century, members of the music chapel of Málaga Cathedral (Spain) compiled twelve inventories of their possessions –mostly musical compositions to be performed in the so-called “fiestas”, ceremonies organized by patrons other than the Cabildo Catedralicio. The repertoire of the inventories is very varied, including works by composers such as Haydn and Mozart together with many of the foremost Spanish maestros de capilla of the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries. However, the identification of both composers and compositions is not always easy, nor is the correspondence between the entries in different inventories. The aim of this article is to present some strategies which can be implemented in order to overcome these difficulties. Many of the examples are related to the particular case of works to Spanish texts by Esteban Redondo (1745-1815).
