Ignácio Parreira Neves
Composer, singer and conductor, he worked mainly for the Senate and for catholic brotherhoods of São José dos Homens Pardos and Nossa Senhora das Mercês. Unfortunately, most of his works were lost. What remains, stand out Credo, Ladainha and Oratória ao Menino Deus para a Noite de Natal, considered the only Christmas dramatic play in Portuguese.
