    Three Pieces a Week (formerly A Piece a Day)

    I recently got a CD of Mexican Baroque music, something I know absolutely nothing about, thanks to music historians&#; tendency to forget that anything other than Europe existed before the 19th century.  According to the liner notes, the two most important composers in 18th-century Mexico were Ignacio de Jerúsalem, whose music looked forward to the galant style, and Manuel de Zumaya, whose music looked back to the Renaissance.  And does it ever!  I&#;m having a hard time thinking of a specific composer to compare the Lamentations to:  it&#;s more comfortable with dissonance than Palestrina, less wild and theatrical than Gesualdo and Monteverdi, and though the mood of it reminds me a bit of Josquin&#;s Miserere (c. ), Zumaya is much less concerned with contrapuntal imitation than any of those early 16th-century Flesmish guys.  My knowledge of early music is pretty spotty, so maybe I&#;m missing an obvious comparison, but the point i

    Reginald Mobley and Agave: American Originals
    Acis

    American Originals is distinguished by many things, its performers first of all.

    As the Spanish empire colonized Latin America, music became an important tool for evangelism and a key part of the quest to convert and &#;civilize&#; the indigenous populations. In this programme, Pacific MusicWorks, led by GRAMMY award winner Stephen Stubbs, explore the vibrant mix of Italian, Spanish, African, and indigenous elements that created the new musical style that developed in the cathedrals and missions of Mexico, Cuba, Guatemala, and Bolivia. Both immigrant and native composers celebrated and explored the great mysteries of faith in spirited and vivacious works that can continue to speak
