As Spain encountered economic and political crises in the seventeenth century, the imagery of musical performance was invoked by the state to represent the power of the monarch and to denote harmony throughout the kingdom. Based on contemporary sources, Gonzalez is able to unravel the complex iconography of Spanish politics.
'[a] magnificent study on the Musical Iconography of Power in Seventeenth-Century Spain ... a stupendous and highly recommended work which brings us closer to the musical analogies employed in the representation of power and its inclusion in the representation of the Lesser Austrias.'
