'''Biography'''
COMMENT: all the Arantes editions have MIDI realizations with them. Frankly, these pieces sound goofy, like they'd be perfectly in place in a clown mass. Also, they're orchestral, so not that practical. I noticed them on IMSLP and said, "Oh boy! Proper settings!" Blessings on him for recovering the sacred music of his native land (that's what I'm doing) but this stuff would have made it to the Black List for sure, if anyone in America had been using it.
