DESCRIPTION:Topic: Race\, Virginity\, and the Musical Lives of Nuns in New 
 Spain\n\nAbstract: This talk reveals how the concepts of virginity and rac
 e\, introduced by Spanish authorities\, complicated the musical lives of N
 ew Spanish nuns. Starting with reflections on the Magnificat antiphon O Sa
 pientia\, located in a Mexico City convent chant book\, I investigate the 
 phenomenon of the Virgin Mary’s characterization as sound—God’s voic
 e—in nuns’ music and devotional books to demonstrate how male clergy c
 ontrolled women religious through the vow of obedience in order to preserv
 e the colonial patriarchy.\n\nCesar Favila is associate professor and dire
 ctor of undergraduate studies in the Department of Musicology at UCLA. His
  work focuses on Mexican music\, ranging from colonial New Spain to the co
 ntemporary Chicano experience\, and often residing at the intersections of
  music\, religion\, gender\, and race. His research has been funded by gra
 nts and fellowships from the American Council of Learned Societies and the
  Institute for Citizens & Scholars\, among others. His work with early mus
 ic ensembles has been honored with the American Musicological Society’s 
 Noah Greenberg Award. He received his PhD in music history and theory from
  the University of Chicago and Bachelor of Arts in Music from UC Davis.\n\
