This dissertation investigates how Spanish reforms of urban space from the mid-sixteenth century to the early seventeenth century impacted patterns of musical life among the city's diverse lower classes, collectively categorized by the term plebe. Drawing from extensive archival research, I show how the boundaries of this category were contested within government initiatives, social reforms, and musical and literary media of the period. In chapters on the regulation of sound in public space and the position of musicians in carceral institutions, I analyze the response of Spanish authorities to a wave of migrants from the countryside and beyond Italy, in which policies aimed at implementing public order also functioned to identify these new residents and control their movements. I argue that while these tactics of buon governo (good government) often resulted in the criminalization of economic and social precarity, they also render marginalized communities of the early modern city visible and audible within the historical record. In addition to this top-down perspective on plebe musical life, I take a horizontal view by examining how plebe musicians sought to bolster their social legitimacy through a fraternal corporation, fostering solidarity while also policing access to the musical profession. To supplement this approach, my final chapter investigates how Neapolitan poet-composers inscribed the sounds of plebe life in popular song genres like the villanesca, which dialogically represent the social strains of an increasingly cramped urban space. My project's findings reinforce the tension between official stances of the Spanish Empire towards the legal restriction and removal of religious and ethnic minorities and the amorphous realities of a cosmopolitan port city.
