Do papel ao digital: o projecto LexiMus e o estudo filológico-computacional dos dicionários musicais espanhóis históricos
Teresa Cascudo | Universidade de La Rioja
LexiMus is a coordinated research project funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (PID2022-139589NB-C32), which aims to systematise fundamental musical terminology through the creation of a Spanish Music Lexicon and a Domain Ontology for Music. The project comprises three subprojects, based at the Instituto Complutense de Ciencias Musicales and the universities of La Rioja and Salamanca. Subproject 2, which forms the core of this presentation, focuses on the digitisation and computational analysis of historical Spanish music dictionaries produced between the 19th and 20th centuries. Sources such as Pedrell’s Diccionario técnico de la música (1894) and Subirá’s vast, unpublished Léxico de Música y Danza have never been systematically studied using digital tools. Through philological and lexicographical methods enhanced by digital humanities, SP2 will allow for large-scale analysis of how musical concepts have been defined, organised, and transmitted. These data will inform ontological metarepresentations, facilitating interoperability with AI-based systems and enabling new ways of processing and exploring musical knowledge.
Teresa Cascudo García-Villaraco | Full Professor at the Universidad de La Rioja. Her research has focused extensively on the relationship between music and nationalism, as well as on music criticism. She is currently Principal Investigator of one of the LexiMus subprojects, which is dedicated to the study of the Spanish music lexicon. Her recent publications include Remapping the Classics: Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven in Spain during the Long Nineteenth Century (Brepols, 2024, co-edited with Miguel Ángel Marín, as part of the MUSIN Project funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation) and the critical edition of the opera Padilla o El asedio de Medina (1845), published by ArsHispana (2024) with funding from the Instituto de Estudios Riojanos.
