Vida musical de las Miguelas de Huesca: el canto y el órgano

Musical life of Miguelas of Huesca: song and organ

Abstract

In the beautiful and ancient city of Huesca (Aragon, Spain), there is the Monastery of the Carmelite Order of the Incarnation, affectionately and familiarly known as the Miguelas, due to the Church being dedicated to Saint Michael. This article refers to some aspects of the musical presence in their daily life, which shows echoes from the past, but in a present that serves as a framework for timeless spirituality. The sounds of the bells, the notes of the organ, and the evanescent mystery of the sound of the psaltery adorn the soundscape and austere environment of this unique house with beauty. In the contemplative life of this cenobium, music accompanies everyday spirituality.
