ABSTRACT
Through analysis of data from the library of the digital platform Historical Soundscapes of Andalusia (c.1200–c.1800), I will explore the meaning that the word ‘motet’ had in post-Tridentine Seville and Granada. In this study, the interconnections between four research axes – 1) finding and mapping the performance spaces, 2) situating the motets in their ceremonial contexts, 3) exploring the multifarious modalities for the performance of motets and 4) studying the motet repertoire itself – offer the reader the opportunity to discover the situation of the motet as a genre in a given urban space.
