Music villancicos analyzed, with complete music transcriptions.
"[The] study of forty-seven selected villancicos by Iribarren and specific comments on the five works presented in modern edition, provide a helpful overview of the gradual formal expansion of the villancico, insightful comment on each of the movement types of the analyzed works, and pithy, if brief, analyses of each villancico in the edition."
--Notes: Quarterly Journal of the Music Library Association, Harvard University
"Sánchez has thoroughly researched the villancicos of the eighteenth-century Spanish composer Juan Francés de Iribarren, whose works have been singled out by Spanish scholars as perhaps the most genuine representation of Spanish religious music of the eighteenth century."
