Music will include works by Domenico Zipoli (1699-1726)and anonymous Indigenous composers trained in the Latin American missions by Zipoli and others; Chinese music transcribed by John Joseph Marie Amiot (1718-1793), a Jesuit working in China; movements from Les Sauvages Galant by Jean-Phillipe Rameau (1683-1764).
