Abstract
This essay discusses carefully selected 16th and 17th century New Spain musical habits, composers, and samples to examine how the practice of music composition coupled with the existence of pre and post-conquest musical traditions were used as a tool of manipulation on behalf of European missionaries yet also as a tool of identity retention and selective collaboration by their indigenous Aztec counterparts.
