pp. 60-61: “Two of the ceremonies that most clearly expressed the Inquisition’s power and that involved music were the public autos de fe and the feast of the patron saint of inquisitors, Pedro de Arbués”.

p. 61: el 25 de marzo de 1601 tuvo lugar un auto de fe en México. Relación muy verdadera del triunfo de la fe, y auto general, en Payno y Riva Palacio, El libro rojo, referencias musicales en pp. 209, 218-19, 226

p. 61: “The involvement of music began on 15 February, when the celebration of the auto de fe was announced in the streets of the city to the sound of trumpets and drums”. En la procesión, “Immediately after the banner went the inquisitorial authorities and servants, followed by members of the ecclesiastical hierarchy and, last in the procession, the cathedral musicians ‘singing psalms appropriate to the occasion; the sang in polyphony, while a separate choir of clergymen and the religious orders responded in a contrasting style with melodious plainchant’”. En la absolución, “The musicians responded to the absolution ‘in polyphony with the marvelous voices to be found in this cathedral, and with a highly skilled chapelmaster’, who at that time was Juan Hernández. It is not clear if all the major autos de fe involved music, but it is possible that they did, as would seem to be confirmed by an auto celebrated in Lima in 1625”.
