El legado de Vicente Ripollés Pérez (1867-1943) en el Real Colegio Seminario de Corpus Christi de Valencia: visión global y transferencia

Abstract

Vicente Ripolles Perez (1867-1943) was one of the most relevant Spanish chapel masters between the 19th and 20th centuries who stood out as a composer, conductor, musicologist and for his leadership in the Cecilianist movement. He became canon at Valencia cathedral and was a chapel master in the cathedrals of Tortosa, Seville and the Royal College of Corpus Christi in Valencia. He bequeathed to the latter institution his archive and library, which have been recently catalogued and contain more than eight hundred documents. Ripolles would deserve a comprehensive monographic study that exceeds the limitations of this article. The aim here is to offer a global and critical view of his legacy and to facilitate future research on this pioneering master of Hispanic music historiography and his contemporaries.
