MALLORCA - DAS KOCHBUCH

La Iglesia de Nueva España festejó intensamente tanto a San Pedro como a San José, al primero como fundador de la Iglesia católica y símbolo del clero secular, y al segundo como esposo de María y protector local contra los terremotos. Los musicos novohispanos, incluyendo a Ignacio Jerusalem, crearon un repertorio excepcionalmente prolifico para San Pedro, que incluye obras en romance que comparan al apostol con un maestro de capilla divino. Este volumen reune siete obras completas de Jerusalem para estos dos santos e incluye el innovador villancico A la milagrosa escuela, que le valio al compositor su cargo como maestro de capilla de la Catedral de Mexico. Tambien contiene tres arias a duo para dos sopranos y orquesta de camara.
