Check out part 1/2 of our latest blog post "Music Theory, Global Designs,
and Modernity/Coloniality: Reading Athanasius Kircher’s Musurgia
universalis in the 'New World'"
<https://historyofmusictheory.wordpress.com/2022/01/27/music-theory-global-designs-and-modernity-coloniality-reading-athanasius-kirchers-musurgia-universalis-in-the-new-world-part-i/>
by Daniel Villegas Vélez.

In this blog he shows how receptions of Kircher's Musurgia universalis "in
the so-called 'New World'" were parts of the broader "colonial global
design of Catholic Spain."

Have a good read!
