La música como actividad de extensión universitaria durante el franquismo: la cátedra de música Francisco Salinas

Abstract

During Franco’s regime, the relationship between music and university always develops closely connected with university extension courses and cultural diffusion. From the fifties, these musical activities begin to make their way into universities through special Chairs of music. This paper focuses on the study of the creation process, regulation and operation of these Chairs and adopts an approach to the main activities developed by Francisco Salinas Chair in Salamanca during the period 1967/68 to 1974/75. The main objective pursued is whether or not these Chairs helped music return to university spaces as well as the subsequent introduction of musicology in the curriculum.
