Meridionalis performs "Miserere" by José Maurício Nunes Garcia

José Maurício Nunes Garcia was born in 1767 to a military officer and a black woman in Rio de Janeiro. He seems to have had training in solfège, and received formal instruction in philosophy, languages, rhetoric and theology. In 1784 he participated in the foundation of the Irmandade de Sta. Cecilia, one of the most important professional musical organizations of the time. He was ordained priest in 1792, and was appointed Kapellmeister of the carioca Cathedral in 1798, where his duties included playing the organ, conducting, and composing. For almost three decades he gave free music instruction, teaching some of the leading musicians of the time. On March 14, 2012, Meridionalis, led by Music of the Americas director Sebastián Zubieta, presented a program entitled "Classics in the Tropics: Nineteenth Century Music from Brazil" at Americas Society. Here they perform Maurício Nunes Garcia's "Miserere." With Martha Cluver, Jolle Greenleaf, sopranos; Luthien Brackett, Corey-James Crawford, altos; Timothy Hodges, tenor; Steven Hrycelak, Thomas McCargar, basses; Stephen Rapp, organ; and Sebastián Zubieta, tenor/conductor.
