The Spanish Civil War was a landmark conflict of the twentieth century with deep international, political, and cultural resonance. Even given its impact, sustained interest in the plethora of ways music was employed during the era is a much more recent development. Music, Propaganda and the Spanish Civil War explores the international dimensions of musical propaganda during the time period. Through close examinations of a wide range of works, styles, and practices-from popular and traditional to cosmopolitan and modernist-this volume demonstrates the crucial role of radio, cinema, and other emerging sound technologies in propaganda and diplomatic efforts by Republicans as well as Nationalists. Through extensive coverage of musical genres that have previously received little attention in Spanish Civil War scholarship (such as Nazi military music, zarzuela, and flamenco, among others), the collection investigates the significance of music and sound in propagandistic narratives of the war in Spain. Music, Propaganda and the Spanish Civil War highlights music's critical role both during and after the conflict, centering its profound influence on a shared historical memory of the time.
