Abstract

At the time when Eduardo Ocón was writing his Spanish Songs (Cantos Españoles), that is in the 1 860s, the relatively young art of flamenco was also developing its own aesthetic identity. Sorne of the pieces which Ocón includes in his «Cancionero» offer fine evidence of this development. The present paper is based on an analysis of the Cancionero, of a literary work of the same period, the Frenchman Charles Davillier's Travels through
Spain and of data from current folklore, and is an attempt to study flamenco at a time when many literary references have been studied but there has been little analysis of purely musical evidence.
