Abstract
La Guerra de la Independencia española, desarrollada entre 1808 y 1814, fue vivida en Venezuela con gran angustia. Las autoridades coloniales, temerosas de que los independentistas venezolanos aprovecharan la ocasión, desarrollaron una importante propaganda a favor de Fernando VII en la que la música y el teatro tuvieron una importancia central. En el presente artículo explicaremos cómo, entre 1808 y 1810, las autoridades venezolanas importaron el repertorio directamente desde la Península.
Mostraremos así cómo las obras interpretadas no eran de ingenios locales, como hasta ahora
se había creído, sino de autores peninsulares. Para ello estudiaremos el teatro político, la canción patriótica y el repertorio religioso interpretado y pondremos de manifiesto cómo la canción patriótica pasó de género conspirativo a gubernamental
The Peninsular War of 1808-1814 caused much concern in Venezuela. Fearful that the Venezuelan independence movement might take advantage of the situation, the colonial authorities instigated a major propaganda campaign in support of Fernando VII and in which both music and theatre played a significant role. In this paper we will explain how, between 1808 and 1810, the Venezuelan authorities brought works across from the Iberian peninsula. We will also reveal that the works performed in Venezuela were written not by local artists, as believed up to now, but by writers from the peninsula. To this end, we will study the political theatre, patriotic songs and religious works that were performed, with a view to revealing how patriotic song went from being a conspiratorial genre to a government-sponsored art form
