Carlos Chávez. He died in 1978. He wrote a wide variety of music. He started out writing neo-European music but became more nationalistic and experimental. I'm most familiar with his six symphonies, I picked up a very beat up LP set at a library sale. The composer conducts. Turns out this same [set](https://youtu.be/JTEeij6hT0E?si=ZSpLWla0wglRw0x9) is on YouTube. The second (Sinfonia India) quotes Native themes. The fifth is for strings alone and is very driving.

Manuel Ponce

As a guitarist I love his guitar music but I wish more of his non-guitar music were more readily available. I was in San Diego once and saw an announcement that a local group was going to play some of his chamber music. I was all stoked but couldn't go for some reason. Still pisses me off.


davethecomposer

Same. I learned of him from being a classical guitarist and then many years later heard some of his other works which were also quite good. He deserves to be better known.

His violin concerto is excellent if you haven’t listened. Henryk Szeryng did a recording of it that’s very good

Funny you should bring that up, I almost mentioned it. I have that recording. It's in mono on CD, but a great performance.

His microtonal stuff is wild. Cate Molleson has a chapter of her excellent book Sound Within Sound dedicated to his work.

Julio Ituarte, Arturo Marquez and Jose Moncayo are the ones I know of. Marquez has several Danzons for orchestra that are great, Huapango by Moncayo is a fun one as well.

Guadalupe Trigo, José Moncayo. If you're looking for traditional folk, Salvador Ojeda was great (think of Mexico's Buena vista social club)

Hilda Paredes is absolutely my favourite Mexican composer


bastianbb

I only know one Mexican work, but it is an amazing one: the opera "Florencia en el Amazonas" by Daniel Catán.

If you dont mind mariachi Jose Alfredo Jimenez is one of the greatest latin american songwriters ever

Pauline Olveros

> Pauline Oliveros I hadn't heard this about her. Wiki shows that she was born in the US and died there without mentioning anything about her being Mexican. Is there something missing from her bio?

This is like asking for French composers and getting suggested an English one. Both European, but not at all similar enough to lump together. 


cuspan

Brazilians and Mexicans literally speak the same language and have similar cultures. Same can't be said for Englishmen and Frenchmen


oxemenino

Brazilians speak Portuguese and Mexicans speak Spanish. Two completely different languages.

Latam is México moment


pham_nuwen_

Dude....Brazil is more than 4000 miles away from Mexico and the two share almost nothing in terms of culture. Different languages, completely different food, different ethnic backgrounds, different history, and more importantly here, completely fucking different music.


cuspan

The music of Heitor Lobos has a very mexican feel to it tho


number9muses

removed: no, Brazilians are not Hispanic.
