FAVILA, C. D., Immaculate Sounds. The Musical Lives of Nuns in New Spain. Oxford University Press, 2023. 360p. Hardback. Series: Currents in Latin American and Iberian Music. Cesar D. Favila writes with compassion and curiosity, and with a love of storytelling that brings his material to life. He makes it possible for us to hear the long-silenced voices of women religious chanting, singing, speaking through meticulous scholarship, vivid biography, and fresh analysis of a wealth of sources. Immaculate Sounds weaves together the varied cultures of New Spain, creating textures and layers from strands of race, gender, faith, creativity, and community, in a multisensory, absorbing, and ultimately tender narrative.
