California Mission Music (2631 words)
The sacred music of California that remains in manuscript form is the most extensive and diverse body of plainsong and polyphonic music to survive from any of Spain's colonies in the contiguous forty-eight states.
Polyphonic music was also widely cultivated in other religious services, especially Vespers and Tierce for the patronal feast and for the dedication of a church, where the psalms and Magnificat are to be found in polyphony.
Secular music, in the form of dance tunes and folk songs were also widely used at the missions both by the Indians and the Spaniards though there is only one manuscript source that survives.
