The 'Contrapunto' research team, created in 2006, is committed to studying the musical culture from the 15th to the 17th centuries. It has carried out three national and two international research projects focused on topics such as the study of the urban music in three Spanish cities or the review of the concept of musical work at that time from theoretical, historical, philosophical, and experimental points of view. In all of them, the work with primary musical sources and the critical edition of these has been present. The research group participates as a member of Bridging Musical Heritage, a project in which it collaborates through the study and critical edition of musical works and its dissemination through seminars and collaborative activities. The team is also currently investigating the Palace of the Counts of Miranda, located in Peñaranda de Duero (Burgos), as a musical space.
