Edited by Drew Edward Davies. Complete Edition from the series, Recent Researches in the Music of the Baroque Era. This volume presents the complete known works of Santiago Billoni (ca. 1700 - ca. 1763), a Roman composer and violinist active in New Spain (viceregal Mexico) between the 1730s and 1750s. His thirty-one concise works, which include villancicos, cantadas, masses, vespers psalms, and other liturgical pieces, stand as unique in New Spain for their use of chromatic harmony, virtuosic yet unmechanical violin technique, and emotive musical rhetoric grounded in the contemporaneous preference for interior devotion. Full score, 340 p.
