- Summary:
- Catalogue of the homonymous exhibition that in nine texts gives an account of the research work on 140 archeological musical-sound pieces, selected from 11 museums in the Network of the INAH, located in various states of the country, as well as the Museo Nacional de Antropología and the Biblioteca Nacional de Antropología e Historia, many of which were incompletely classified. Musicologists, restorers, archaeologists, historians, anthropologists, ethnologists and biologists worked on the analysis of archaeological collections associated with sound, from various excavations, some of them from funerary burials. The volume gives an account of the restoration process to which several of the pieces were subjected so that they recovered the emission of musical sounds, using technologies such as X-rays. It also addresses the iconography in pre-Hispanic codices of deities and their relationship with music, as well as the survival of Mesoamerican instruments and criteria of execution in the native peoples of today.
