Los estudios sobre música y audiovisual en España: hacia un estado de la cuestión.

This article tries to establish the state of the issue concerning the study of music in relation to the audiovisual media in Spain. Taking as a starting point the first texts in which Spanish composers of cinema music state their interest in the issue, we take a tour through the main authors who have done research on this topic from the eighties to the present day. Moreover, we pay special attention to the presence of this field of study in the Spanish academic world and the existence of institutional initiatives, associations and scientific conferences which encourage its development.
