Historical Note
The Latin American mss. Guatemala music manuscripts, late
16th-early 17th centuries (ca. 1570-1635), consists of 13 bound
volumes and two fragments that were used in the pueblos of Santa Eulalia,
San Juan Ixcoi, and San Mateo Ixtatan in the department of
Huehuetenango in northwest Guatemala.
These were designated as the San Miguel Acatan repertory by
Stevenson from the name of the town in Huehuetenango where they
were assembled in 1963.
Scope and Content Note
The Latin American mss. Guatemala music manuscripts, late
16th-early 17th centuries (ca. 1570-1635), consists of 13 bound
volumes and two fragments. Used in the pueblos of Santa Eulalia,
San Juan Ixcoi, and San Mateo Ixtatan in the department of
Huehuetenango in northwest Guatemala, some of the fragile codices
bear the signatures of Francisco de León and Tomás Pascual who
served as maestros de capilla. The original bindings of deerskin,
some with the hair attached, still encase the books.
Descriptive elements and inventories of the first nine of the
manuscripts may be found in works by Robert Stevenson:
"European
Music in 16th Century Guatemala"
in
The Musical Quarterly, pages
341-352, Vol. 50, No. 3, July, 1964 (ML 1 .M9 Music Library) and
Renaissance and Baroque Musical Sources in the Americas,
Washington, D.C., Organization of American States, 1970, pages
55-64 (ML 135 .A1 S84 Music Library).
