Beautiful Music in Difficult Times September 23

Today’s offering is Beautiful Music by Manuel De Sumaya, an outstanding Mexican musician who lived from c. 1678 – 1755. Sumaya was a church musician — he served as chapelmaster at the Cathedral in Mexico City. He composed this cheerful villancico — Sol-Fa de Pedro — in 1715 as part of his audition for that job.
