Podría parecer que van a contracorriente del mundo musical actual y, sin embargo, existen infinidad de componentes místicos en la obra de compositores que expresan en su música sus sentimientos espirituales y religiosos. Y son muchos mas de lo que comunmente se cree. Me atrevo a afirmar que Messiaen, Gardony, Part, P.

Y se han removido en mi memoria, mas cercanos unos que otros a mi propia vida pero todos proximos en la fe y en mi admiracion hacia su musica.Es esta obra una sucinta y sencilla referencia, que cuenta con muchos apoyos de otros textos, a este reducido grupo de compositores del S. XX que han provocado en mi recuerdos y reflexiones por la permanente busqueda de la transcendencia en sus composiciones musicales.

Para ello, hemos analizado: los organos de gobierno, la economia catedralicia, la estructura de la capilla de musica catedralicia durante los magisterios de Alfonso Vaz de Acosta (1641-1660), Gaspar de Liceras Isla (1660-1681), Juan Bonet de Paredes (1682-1684) y Juan Cedazo (1685-1714), asi como su llegada a Avila, sus vidas, sus funciones, sus obligaciones diarias y los acontecimientos mas relevantes del funcionamiento de la capilla musical junto a una descripcion pormenorizada de su plantilla, la actuacion del Cabildo como Institucion frente al desarrollo de la musica en la catedral de Avila, junto a la influencia de los Estatutos y Contratos Capitulares en la financiacion de la musica y la gestion interna de la capilla a traves de la provision de plazas, concesion de licencias, empleos, permisos y sanciones con disposiciones bien definidas aplicables a maestros, cantores y ministriles.
