Musically educated in the classical tradition, he began teaching at 12 and writing at age 16. He reached the rank of Master of the Royal Chapel (most important post for a musician in Brazil Cologne) appointed by King John IV and conducted the first performances of Mozart’s "Requiem" and Haydn’s "Creation" in Brazil. Poor, mulatto, losing his father early and being educated with great difficulty, it is not known exactly how managed to get the culture that claim to have belonged to him. Even with all this prestige, he did not escape the prejudice by the origin in a family of slaves.  less

Steh des Nachts auf und schreie zu Beginn jeder Nachtwache, Schütte dein Herz aus vor dem Herrn wie Wasser. Hebe deine Hände zu ihm auf um des Lebens deiner junger Kinder willen, die vor Hunger verschmachten an allen Strassenecken! Herr, schaue und sieh doch Wen du so verderbt hast! Gedenke doch, wie ich so elend und verlassen, mit Wermut und Galle getränkt bin Du wirst ja daran gedenken; den mein...    less
