Sancho, Juan, 1982-

The parchment manuscript was probably copied by Juan Sancho on the island of Majorca around 1795-98. The mass is in the tradition harmonically and formally of music in the late 18th century classic style of Haydn and Mozart which was well known in Spain. Little is known about Juan Sancho. Many of the libraries and churches in the region of Spain from which he came (Majorca) were ransacked and destroyed in 1835. He was in Carmel for a short period of time and then went to Santa Barbara.
