This talk etches out a narrative of the developing musical practices and identities of Kirishitan (Japanese Christian) communities that began to take shape in the early decades of their formation. It speaks to the need for intercultural methodologies that facilitate a more nuanced understanding of “Western” music as produced, interpreted, and reformed by entanglements of the early modern world.
