摘要:This essay describes a specific case of the presence of music during the popular festivities that were held in Tortosa at the beginning of 1701 celebrating and exalting the coronation of the then new and recently crowned Monarch, the Bourbon Prince Felipe de Anjou. The source for analyzing the varied and abundant musical participation in the said festivities is a document printed in Barcelona in 1701 entitled "Festive merrymaking, courteous and loyal demonstrations with which the most faithful and exemplary city of Tortosa celebrated the joyous arrival in his Royal Court of our great Monarch, Felipe de Anjou (Bourbon), King of Spain (may God save him)". The importance of this anonymous document lies, on the one hand, in the detailed description it offers us of the essential role played by music - along with other artistic manifestations - in the majority of the activities, and, on the other hand, as a paradigmatic testimony of the relationship between music and "fiesta" during the epoch of the Hispanic Baroque.
