Catálogo organológico de instrumentos sonoros prehispánicos conservados en el Museo Universitario: Universidad de Cuenca

Abstract

The present degree project proposes the creation of an organological catalogue of the hundred and twenty-four pre-Hispanic sound instruments owned by the University Museum, in order to obtain an orderly and clear archive with the information of each instrument. This catalog was made based on the Hornbostel - Sachs classification system and starting from the initial information of the general inventory of the University Museum, in the same way was taken as background, organological works previously carried out in Ecuador. This work is composed of an introduction, two chapters and a conclusion; chapter one deals with the concepts and methodology used, as well as the examples of how the chosen system works; chapter two has the background and the organological catalog as such. Finally, the conclusion is presented and an annex to the catalogue is added.
