WOMS states that CD 3:5 (“Me gusta la leche”) is a sanjuán, but is not a Quichua sanjuán--as heard in CD 3:3 (“Muyu muyari warmigu”). Discuss the similarities and differences between the Quichua and Chota sanjuanes. Why is this musical genre “shared” between the two cultures?
What will be an ideal response?
• Similarities: same basic genre (sanjuán); same double–couplet construction, and comparable tempo, and phrases of 8 beats. The short-long-short rhythmic marker is found in both examples (marked with a * in the chart below).
• Differences: in the Chota sanjuán of CD 3:5 the rhythm of second four beats of the main phrase is similar to--but not exactly the same as--the rhythm of the first four beats. In the case of the Quichua sanjuán, the rhythm of the second four beats (beats 5-8) is exactly the same as the rhythm of the first four beats (beats 1-4)--known as isorhythm.
