Abstract

This paper reviews four musical documents —two Colombians such as Manuel María Rueda's Manual de organistas y cantores (Manual of Organists and Singers) and Canciones neogranadinas. Villancicos. Responsorios (New Granada Songs. Christmas carols. Responsories); and two Venezuelans as the Colección de piezas escogidas para Piano. 1898 (Collection of pieces chosen for Piano. 1898) and y Música copiada y coleccionada por J. M. Ardila V. (Music copied and collected by J. M. Ardila V.)— where the musical transits that occurred at the end of the XIX century between Colombia and Venezuela can be follow. The relationships between these documents, musical works, musical genres, and some composers such as Manuel María Rueda, Nicolás Quevedo Rachadell, Julio Quevedo Arvelo and Atanasio Bello Montero, take account of a very interesting exchange in a period in which these countries were practically isolated. Few has been documented about these exchanges, and has been discussed only tangentially. In this sense, the present research is part of what Nils Grosch calls the mobility paradigm and seeks to encourage further studies in this field in Latin America.
