AbstractThis article examines the musical activity of the Metropolitan Cathedral of Santiago de Chile during the 19th century, focusing on three facts that have previously been highlighted by Chilean musical historiography: the dismissal of the choirmaster Henry Lanza (1846), the substitution of the orchestra with an English organ (1850) and the work of three choirmaster: José Bernardo Alzedo, José Zapiola, and Tulio Eduardo Hempel.The aims of this study are: to offer new perspectives in relation to these events based on new documentary evidence, to demonstrate how they were influenced by the social and political context of the time, and to recognize the effects that the problematic relationship between Church and State had on the musical chapel.
