Abstract

research on other forms of primary sources, such as material culture and archaeological evidence, could possibly tell us more about their musical lives. The Sweet Penance of Music is an indispensable book for musicologists of colonial Latin America, Chilean historians, archivists, and Chilean music scholars across disciplines. While the book requires basic musicological knowledge, it is legible for scholars, public sector professionals, and undergraduate student audiences alike. Most importantly, Vera’s work brings to the center a city whose musical practices nuance and expand our understanding of the public, private, and religious lives of the colonial Americas.
