chapelmaster composers
at Mexico City and Puebla from about 1575 to 1750: Hernando Franco, Juan Gutiérrez
de Padilla, Francisco López Capillas, and Antonio de Salazar (only
Gaspar Fernandes and Manuel de Zumaya are absent from this list). The intention
was apparently to include works by composers active in Mexico "before
the all-conquering Italian style took Spain and its Empire by storm."
(Though Italian influences can be discerned in New World polyphony, Bruno
Turner's over strong statement can be debated.) Of these four composers, Juan
Gutiérrez de Padilla is best represented, perhaps because Turner has
edited a number of his works and the music is consequently available. Steven
Barwick, pioneer in the study of Mexican sacred polyphony with his 1949 Harvard
dissertation, has edited works by López Capillas and Salazar used in
this recording.
Padilla's significance has been signaled by Turner, who views him as "the
most talented and confident of the composers of the colonial period in Central
and South America." While Padilla's great importance will not be challenged
here, it will be valuable to note that not enough works--sacred or secular--by
the major colonial composers of Spanish America have yet been edited for such
a final judgment to be accepted.

Hernando Francisco (= Franco),
Gaspar Fernandes, Juan García de Zéspedes, José de Loaysa
y Agurto, and Antonio de Salazar (some of which were also included in the
Boston Camerata's recording Nueva España): a number of indigenous instruments
are used to accompany several of the pieces, including turtle shells, teponatzli,
huéhuetl, butterfly cocoons, and various bells, rattles, and clay pots.
An interesting sound spectrum is produced, though one which may not reflect
actual practice. However, one can see that the works by Fernandes in the Nahuatl
language (Xicochi xichochi conetzintle, Tleycantimo choquiliya) might lend
themselves to such an imaginative interpretation.
