brazilian baroque, Lobo de Mesquita, Salve Regina, Diamantina MG
The remote city of Diamantina in the brazilian state of Minas Gerais drives us straight backward into the 18th century.It was founded on the Royal Route (Caminho Real) which linked Minas Gerais with the ports of São Paulo so that gems,diamonds and gold were transported to reach their final destination .Portugal of course, for the glory of its kings.
The city prospered and was granted with beautiful churches,administration and military buildings,schools and the rest. It created inevitably its cultural profile (along with the other bigger cities of Minas) borrowing the baroque element of the metropolis and mingling it with the imagination of local artists and traditions. This is what also happenned in the field of music, mainly religious as it was the custom. The Barroco Mineiro,the particular style which also embraces architecture, sculpture and painting giving very touching results, was born here, too.
Jose Joaquim Emerico Lobo de Mesquita was born in Diamantina (it was called Arraial do Tejuco at that time).He appears in history in 1772 as the organist in the church of Santo Antonio ,nowadays the Cathedral,(the big white church with some grey-blue paint,first in the photos). He also worked in other churches (igreja do Carmo, the second one in the photos) before migrating, in 1798, at Ouro Preto probably for financial reasons since the diamond minning was declining. He remained professionally active in the new city and then disappeared from the stage of history in 1800 .He left 15 compositions where one can clearly see that he was a talented man who studied hard the scores of his european fellow composers.
Of course, i took lots of photos, there. In this video I present the religious side of this out this world, peaceful town.

Lobo de Mesquita nasceu na Vila do Príncipe (atual Serro) por volta de 1746. Ali teve sua formação musical e iniciou suas atividades profissionais, como organista e como compositor. Por volta de 1776, transferiu-se para o Arraial do Tejuco (atual Diamantina), que era o centro urbano de maior importância na região, enquanto centro de controle da mineração. Ele já aparece como organista na Matriz de Santo Antônio em fins de 1783 ou início de 1784, passando a tocar na Igreja da Ordem Terceira do Carmo em 1789. Sua atuação certamente incluía todas as obrigações de um Mestre de Capela (ou de Mestre de Música, para utilizar a distinção estabelecida pelo musicólogo Padre Jaime Diniz): compor as obras para as festas contratadas, arregimentar cantores e instrumentistas para a execução da obra, ensaiar, reger (provavelmente do console do órgão, que era seu instrumento) e provavelmente ensinar (preparando jovens para o exercício da profissão de músico). Foi também Alferes do Terão da Infantaria dos Homens Pardos (não se sabe se atuando na banda de música). Tranferiu-se para a Vila Rica, passando a atuar na Matriz de Nossa Senhora do Pilar e na Ordem Terceira do Carmo, em 1798. Dois anos depois, passou o cargo a Francisco Gomes da Rocha e transferiu-se para o Rio de Janeiro, tocando na Igreja da Ordem Terceira do Carmo entre 1801 e 1805, quando faleceu.
José Joaquim Emerico Lobo de Mesquita (Vila do Príncipe, MG, ca. 1746 Rio de Janeiro, RJ, 1805), one of the most emblematic Brazilian composers from the colonial period. He was born in Vila do Principe (currently Serro) around 1746. That is where he started his professional activities as an organist and composer. Around 1776, he moved to Arraial do Tejuco (currently Diamantina), the most important urban center in the region, and where all the mining activities were based. He was already featured as the organist at Saint Anthony's Church in early 1784. His functions certainly included all the obligatory tasks expected from a Master of Chapel (or Master of Music, utilizing the distinction established by music scholar Father Jaime Diniz). He would compose music for the special feasts, come up with arrangements for singers and musicians, rehearse, conduct (more than likely from the organ, his instrument of choice) and also teach (preparing youngsters to follow as musicians). He was also a low-ranking officer (Alferes) at a local infantry (Infantaria dos Homens Pardos). It is not known whether he played on the infantry's band. He then moved to Vila Rica, where he started to work at Our Lady of Pilar's Church and at Carmo's Third Order in 1798. After two years, he yielded to Francisco Gomes da Rocha and transferred to Rio de Janeiro, where he also played at Carmo's Third Order from 1801 to 1805, when he passed away.
