A leading example is the IMF project Libros de Polifonía Hispana, which seeks to inventory sources of manuscript and printed books with polyphony from the Iberian Peninsula and Iberoamerica from the fifteenth through the twentieth centuries, located throughout the world. [...]a number of books containing essays on a multitude of Latin American and Spanish topics that have been expanded from presentations given at these conferences have been published in recent years in Spain. The 2017 Baeza conference and festival (De Nueva España a México), and the 2019 MUSAM/SEdEM conference in Madrid (En, desde y hacia las Americas).3 Two other valuable books of essays also examine the important topic of transatlantic musical interchange between Spain and Latin America (La música y el Atlántico and Cantos de Guerra y Paz).4 This is a most impressive record, which highlights the vibrancy of this large research area, especially with its emphasis on studying music throughout the Americas and the international cooperation between scholars. Collectively, these six books represent a substantial body of work by a large number of researchers from many different countries on a wide range of topics supported by a variety of diverse research methodologies. Part three, “European Models and American Realities in the Eighteenth Century and Transit to Nineteenth Century,” by Bernardo Illari, Marisa Restiffo, John Swadley, Violeta P. Carvajal Ávila, Alejandro Vera, and Gonzalo Camacho Díaz, studies Jesuit missionaries and music in Bolivia, music in Córdoba (Argentina), music education for young women in New Spain, new musical styles in Valladolid de Michoacán (modern-day Morelia, Mexico), instrumental music, and musical iconography.
