"Pedrell was the founder of modern Spanish musicology and contributed greatly to the revival of church music in Spain. He wrote extensively on Spanish liturgical music and made substantial collections and editions of both early and contemporary Spanish sacred music ... One of his major works was the Catàlech de la Biblioteca musical de la Diputació de Barcelona, in which he collated much of what he had already published in books and articles. His endeavours inspired the succeeding generation of scholars ..." Walter Aaron Clark in Grove Music Online.
