BnZunni. Gracias por tus comentarios y cátedra en la evoluvión histórica de la música sacra en nuestros pueblos.

Después de la Conquista, la música siguió ocupando un rol importante en cada celebración en Oaxaca. Este es un magnífico ejmeplo de Música Sacra. Los Responsorios Novo-Hispanos conservaron la estrcutura de Concertinos Italianos (Lento-Rápido-Lento). Algunos son transcripciones de frailes, otros son composiciones de músicos locales a fianles de 1800, cuando metales y maderas se enseñaron, dando a cada pieza técnicas y estilos locales, haciendo cada pieza única y especial. Buen Contenido. ♪♫

After the Conquest, music still played an important role on every cleberation in the towns of Oaxaca. This is a great example of Sacred Brass. Responsories for the Holy Week, kept the traditional structure of Italian Concertinos (Slow-Fast-Slow Movements). Friars made transcriptions, but some are the own compositions of local musicians during the mid 1800's when brass and woodwind were tought, which had their particular style and technique, making every piece unique and special.
