    The Sweet Penance of Music: Musical Life in Colonial Santiago de Chile
    (Oxford University Press, 2020) Vera Aguilera, Alejandro
    This book provides a fresh, comprehensive view of the musical life and its cultural context in Santiago, Chile, from its foundation in 1541 to the end of the colonial period, roughly in 1810. Combining the study of archival documents, secondary sources, and music scores, it deals with different aspects of musical life in the cathedral (Chapter 1), convents and monasteries (Chapter 2), private houses (Chapter 3), and public spaces (Chapter 4), considering, as well, the life and function of musicians as crucial agents in the music field (Chapter 5). Despite its focus on a particular city of Latin America, it raises this issue from a broad perspective that explores its links with other urban centers (especially Lima), within the globalizing framework of the colonial system. The idea of music as a “sweet penance,” belonging to a nun harpist in a convent of Santiago at the end of the eighteenth century, gives rise to the consideration of duality as an essential trait of the period and its music.

    Cifras selectas de guitarra (Facsimile)
    (A-R Editions, 2010) Murcia, Santiago de; Vera Aguilera, Alejandro
    This edition presents a detailed study and transcription of the manuscript “Cifras selectas de guitarra” (1722) of Santiago de Murcia (1673–1739), as well as a complete facsimile provided separately. While the study contributes new information about Murcia and fresh perspectives on the circulation of baroque guitar music, particularly between Spain and the New World, the facsimile and transcription are intended to allow performance of the works in the collection by both baroque and modern guitarists. This source, found by the editor in Santiago, Chile, during research undertaken between September 2003 and August 2004, supplies a good number of new pieces, as well as alternative versions of others included in Murcia's previously-discovered sources—namely, the manuscripts “Passacalles y obras de guitarra” (1732) and “Códice Saldívar no. 4,” and the print Resumen de acompañar la parte con la guitarra (1714).

    Los cantorales de la Catedral de Lima
    (2022) Fernández, David Andrés; Vera Aguilera, Alejandro
    El libro Los cantorales de la Catedral de Lima, escrito en coautoría con David Andrés Fernández, estudia la colección de libros de coro de la Catedral Metropolitana de Lima, que está formada por cuarenta volúmenes manuscritos copiados en su mayor parte en el siglo XVII. En el estudio inicial, se aborda su historia, confección y escribas responsables. Seguidamente, se indaga sobre su forma de interpretación en la época colonial a través de la reconstrucción de un servicio litúrgico de suma importancia en su contexto. Finalmente, se ofrece un catálogo crítico de la colección que incluye sus contenidos íntegros en forma de índices analíticos y alfabéticos que facilitan su localización. En suma, este trabajo constituye un estudio integral sobre una colección de libros de canto llano conservada en Sudamérica. Además, representa una útil herramienta de investigación en la que se exhuman numerosos documentos históricos y se presentan transcripciones de repertorio tanto monódico como polifónico, razón por la que será de interés para musicólogos, historiadores e intérpretes, entre otros.

    Bayesian Nonparametric Data Analysis
    (2015) Müller, Peter; Quintana Quintana, Fernando Andrés; Jara, Alejandro; Hanson, Tim
    This book reviews nonparametric Bayesian methods and models that have proven useful in the context of data analysis. Rather than providing an encyclopedic review of probability models, the book’s structure follows a data analysis perspective. As such, the chapters are organized by traditional data analysis problems. In selecting specific nonparametric models, simpler and more traditional models are favored over specialized ones.The discussed methods are illustrated with a wealth of examples, including applications ranging from stylized examples to case studies from recent literature. The book also includes an extensive discussion of computational methods and details on their implementation. R code for many examples is included in online software pages
