| description | The allegorical nature of the ensalada, a musical genre that developed during the first half of the sixteenth century, is well known. With its citations of music of all kinds, especially popular songs, it was the ideal vehicle to express the universality of the Christmas message: everyone –from shepherds to kings– gathered at the crib. It is also well established that Mateo Flecha’s ensalada La viuda does not conform to the Christmas typology but offers a biographical commentary on the composer’s professional career. However, a more detailed analysis of this ensalada reveals how Flecha exploited the musical genre to communicate semiotically through the music his concept of musical patronage, based on his own experiences and aspirations. La viuda thus becomes a musical metatext that elaborates not only on his personal situation but also on the dynamic between artistic creation and the protection afforded by humanistically inspired music patronage in a specific social context. |
