This chapter examines the liturgical and religious music brought by Franciscan and Jesuit missionaries to New Spain and ultimately to the frontier missions during the period from 1500 to 1800. It explains that the sacred music of the liturgy helped to foster group identity among believers and missionaries and that musical devotion represented an outward sign of inner piety and a restatement of personal belief. This chapter mentions that each religious order developed their own specific rules and practices regarding the place of music in their communities.
