In eighteenth-century Mexico City, cathedral musicians made explicit and considered use of music and institutional affiliation in order to construct their Spanish identity. Ramos-Kittrell argues that music, as a performative and theoretical activity, was a highly dynamic factor in the cultural and religious life of New Spain, and an active agent in the changing discourses of social status and "Spanishness" in colonial America.
