In 1673 three Indian maestros cantores were hired to provide their musical services to the monastery of San Juan de Dios in Cuzco. They agreed to perform at five weekly masses and a range of other annual feasts such as the Fridays in Lent, Holy Week, Easter, Palm Sunday, and the feast-days of San Bartolomé and San Juan (the patron saints of the monastery's hospital and of the order), as well as any funerals of members of the monastery. On certain occasions they were required to bring their shawms (the Fridays in Lent and the monthly misas de renovación), and on others to take part in processions (Holy Thursday and Easter Day). On all these occasions, they were expected to bring twelve singers and four instrumentalists—an organist, harpist, bajonero, and cornetista. 1
