Within the next decade, we may hope to see the publication of a definitive study of the traditional folk music of Spain. The scope and direction of such a project, whether left entirely to an individual or carried out by a team of specialists, will require painstaking considerations in the formation of its basic outline. A procedure should be established which takes into consideration the categorization of materials, such as cancioneros (‘anthologies of songs’) dating from the thirteenth through the seventeenth centuries, on the one hand, and the folkloristic/anthropological and ethnomusicological collections, on the other. The integration of these diverse materials would provide the core for such an undertaking.
