Presentation

Joseph de Torres y Martínez Bravo was born in Madrid, probably about 1670, and died there in 1738. Organist and teacher, he had a prestigious career as a composer and publisher recognized throughout the Hispanic world of the time, i.e., the Iberian peninsula, Latin America and as far as Italy.
El libro que contiene onze partidos de M. Dn. Joseph de Torres is a manuscript of great interest for Latin-American and Iberian musicology. Not only does it enrich the repertoire of Spanish masters but, in addition, it bears witness to the existence of organistic activity in Mexico at the time of New Spain. It is not surprising that this document was found in Mexico, considering the large number of historic organs of Spanish Baroque aesthetic that existed in the centre of the country – but, unfortunately, most of them have been abandoned.
