The text examines José de Nebra (1702–1768) as a key figure in 18th-century Spanish music, questioning his alignment with Enlightenment ideals. Renowned for his liturgical works, notably the Office and Mass for the Royal Funeral of Queen María Bárbara, Nebra balanced tradition and innovation. While 19th-century narratives framed him as a defender of Spanish musical purity against Italian influences, the study reveals his adaptability to Enlightenment-era reforms, such as simplifying liturgy and integrating modern styles. His theatrical compositions incorporated popular elements, reflecting urban culture. Nebra’s pedagogical approach, documented in his 1753 memorial on choirboy education, blended pragmatism with Enlightenment principles. The analysis highlights his engagement with contemporary debates on sacred music and his role in Spain’s cultural transitions.

Reconocido por obras litúrgicas como el Oficio y Misa para las Reales Honras de la Reina María Bárbara, Nebra fusionó tradición e innovación. Aunque el siglo XIX lo idealizó como defensor de la pureza musical española, el estudio destaca su adaptación a reformas ilustradas, como la simplificación litúrgica y estilos modernos. Sus obras teatrales incorporaron elementos populares, reflejando la cultura urbana. Su enfoque pedagógico, expuesto en un memorial de 1753 sobre la educación de niños cantores, combinó pragmatismo e ideas ilustradas. El análisis subraya su participación en debates sobre música sacra y su rol en transiciones culturales.
