Abstract
El presente estudio aborda la construcción de tres órganos catedralicios de la Nueva España, durante el siglo XVIII. Fue su artífice el organero español Joseph Nassarre Cimorra, y las catedrales de Guadalajara, Valladolid (hoy Morelia) y de la Ciudad de México son el escenario de esta historia. Esta investigación no constituye un análisis técnico de la afinación de los órganos, ni de su acústica, composición fónica, ni tampoco es un abordaje desde un enfoque estilístico, aunque en momentos se mencionen algunos de estos elementos para ilustrar la idea central que gira en torno al órgano como instrumento de prestigio, poder y orgullo catedralicio.
The following is a study of the construction of three cathedral organs from New Spain, in the eighteenth century, by Joseph Nassare Cimorra, a Spanish organ builder. These are the organs from the cathedrals of Guadalajara, Valladolid (currently Morelia), and Mexico City. This research does not focus on technical analyses of organ tunning, acoustics, or phonic composition; it does not center on a stylistic examination either. These technical and stylistic elements, however, are occasionally considered in order to explain the central idea argued here: the organ understood not only as a musical instrument but also as an instrument of prestige, power and cathedral pride.
