Summary This book explores the music and dance of Franciscan and Jesuit mission communities throughout the entire northern frontier of New Spain. Its purpose is to examine the roles music played: in teaching, evangelisation, celebration, and the formation of group identities. This book looks comprehensively at the music of this region and time period, and utilises music as a way to study the cultural interactions between Indians and missionaries.
