The Stanford Early Music Singers, under the direction of Eric Tuan, present a program of rarely heard music from the colonial period in what is now Mexico and Guatemala. The program opens with a processional in Quechua from Peru; continues with a recreation of a "Salve" service against the plague as it may have been sung at Guatemala City Cathedral; shares music by Juan de Lienas, thought to be a prominent composer of indigenous descent in colonial Mexico; and concludes with three pieces featuring text in Nahuatl, one of the most prominent indigenous languages in colonial Mexico.
