In this study on the musical lives of nuns in colonial Latin America, author Cesar D. Favila argues that the sounds of cloisters were deemed essential for the promotion of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary and, by extension, the salvation of early modern society. Through analysis of these "immaculate sounds," rarely studied archival sources, rulebooks, devotional literature, and nun's biographies, Favila locates women's agency within a hierarchical society that silenced some women and required others to sing.
Cesar D. Favila is Assistant Professor of Musicology at UCLA. His work focuses on Mexican music, ranging from colonial New Spain to the contemporary Chicano experience, and often residing at the intersections of music, religion, gender, and race. Favila's work has been funded by numerous grants and fellowships, including support from the American Council of Learned Societies, the American Philosophical Society, and the Fulbright Program, among others.
