MONTSALVATGE AND HIS ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM THE SPANISH CLICHÉ THROUGH THE ANTILLEANISM IN HIS CINCO CANCIONES NEGRAS

About this exposition

The Spanish cliché is an invention of the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries. This exotic and romantic image of musical "Spanishness" had, and still has, an enormous influence on Spanish musicians and in the general approach to the interpretation of Spanish Music. Through history the political powers have tried to make used of the stereotypes at their own convenience. Franco’s regime urged composers to adhere to a formalistic aesthetic, full of Spanish nationalistic clichés, in a clear attempt to unify and control a country rich in different cultures and folklore. Within this context, the question of musical nationalism inevitably arises as well as the way in which it was faced, surrounded, transformed and solved by the composers of the time. Montsalvatge soon manifested a profound independence of criteria that took him away from falling into the Spanish cliché. He was the cultivator of a peculiar nationalism, at the same time far from Spanishism and Catalanism. Montsalvatge found in Antilleanism a sort of “secular post-nationalism", a personality of his own. The most famous example of this Antilleanism are his “Cinco Canciones Negras”
