The Patronage of Pedagogical Missions played an important role in the recovery and dissemination of musical culture, particularly Spanish musical folklore, in the early years of the Second Spanish Republic, by launching a musical and choir service that was in charge of bringing a variety of music styles and genres to the inhabitants of the most deprived rural areas. In this paper a thorough documentary study was carried out on the work performed by the choir members and by the people who were responsible for guarding the musical resources ceded by the Patronage as well as for programming the different musical activities in the municipalities that benefitted from such resources. In turn, several testimonies gathered attest to the task done by this institution as well as to the cultural and musical impact it had on the inhabitants of the towns where the different missionary activities were performed.

Palabras clave : Pedagogical Missions; musical culture; musical education; Second Spanish Republic.
