This approach represented a challenge to early modern Hispanic studies, a field that had previously sought to find coherence, both formal and ideological, and continuity with tradition. Among the areas most receptive to this transformation was the study of the notoriously difficult works of Luis de Góngora y Argote, in particular his unclassifiable long poems Soledad primera and Soledad segunda. Although Rivers earned his recognition as a major early modernist for his essays and critical edition of the complete works of Garcilaso de la Vega, he had studied at Yale with the great gongorista Dámaso Alonso, and he had produced important studies on the baroque poetry of Góngora as well as of Quevedo and Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. Those of us who were studying with him at

In addressing social, moral, and political questions, however interwoven with religious doctrine, the former group developed authorizing strategies comparable to those used by the more numerous female religious who struggled with the double bind of showing humility and self-effacement while offering obedience to ecclesiastical superiors, whose requests for nuns' writings implied a recognition of the importance of women's spiritual experiences (Weber 45). As Arenal and Schlau point out, ostensible self-effacement could, through paradoxical uses of acceptable language, affirm the spiritual and intellectual strengths of women religious (16). During the past three decades, feminist scholarship, in particular that of Electa Arenal and the editors of this special issue, among others, has illuminated the complex strategies employed by women religious to convince their superiors of their humility while affirming the validity of their experiences. While convents tended to nurture a higher rate of literacy than in the general female population, some noble families provided advanced education for their daughters, and a few of those women ventured to

They follow the classic operatic plot, in which the destruction of queens and courtesans seems an inevitable result of their transgressive desires. As Catherina Clément has observed, "the emotion is never as poignant as when [the voice] is lifted to die." In the case of Sor Juana, her desires have been represented as sexual as well as intellectual challenges to authority. By focusing on her silence as patriarchal retribution, we risk losing the eloquence and diverse registers of her voice. There are, however, other songs, even in contemporary operas like those by Daniel Crozier and Peter Krask (With Blood, With Ink, 1993) and by Carla Lucero and Alicia Gaspar de Alba (Juana, in progress). Music, as the most abstract of the arts, offers us other interpretations of Sor Juana's achievement. This article analyzes music that responds to Sor Juana's poetry with voice and diverse instrumental combinations: Marcela Rodríguez's Funesta: Seis arias sobre textos de sor Juana; John Eaton's Sor Juana's Dreams, Sor Juana Songs, and Tocotín; John Adams's Nativity Cantata, El Niño, which includes two villancicos; as well as the two contemporary operas.
