| Sumario: | Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1648-1695) is one of the most important figures of the seventeenth century in New Spain. Her life, intimately related to music as reflected in her written work, shows a knowledge of the practical aspects of the music of her time: notation, composition, solmization and the Pythagorean tradition. Among the masters known to the Mexican nun were Lorente, Ramos de Pareja, Salinas, Zarlino, Cerone and Kircher, among others. Sor Juana wrote a now lost treatise, El Caracol, in which she attempted to simplify the harmonic system of the time. This article reviews the musical aspects contained in her texts and carries out a rhetorical-musical analysis of her only surviving work, Madre, la de los primores, attributed to her and preserved in Guatemala. |
