ABSTRACT
Within the large corpus of Sor Juana scholarship, the subject of music has received relatively little attention. It is true that music is often mentioned, albeit in general terms, as it relates to Sor Juana’s villancicos (carols), the use of musical imagery in her poetry, the numerous musical elements she employed in her dramatic works, and most significantly her knowledge of musical theory. 1 However, studies that have exclusively focused on Sor Juana’s roles as lyricist and musical theorist remain the exception rather than the rule.
