Abstract
Even though there is a fair amount of research about the Latin-American art song, the resources solely about the Puerto Rican art song are limited. This lack of resources has made it extremely difficult for those interested in finding information about the Puerto Rican art song in and out of the island, preventing this repertoire from being performed. This research explores the available repertoire, its historical significance, and what nationalistic traces may or may not be found in the musical style of these composers. The objective of this paper is to create another source of information available to those interested in the Puerto Rican art song genre, and to add new material to the current body of knowledge. Fortunately, interest is growing thanks to a new wave of Puerto Rican singers completing their doctoral work in the United States, who are interested in exploring this topic in order to preserve it, expose it internationally, and give it the significance that it deserves. Available material on this subject has been gathered, and with it I present a historical survey of the Puerto Rican art song with a selection of six representative composers, a small catalogue of the songs that are available for research and performance at various libraries in Puerto Rico, the Puerto Rico National Archives and those that can be found directly through the composers.
