Santos Cunha lived in
São João del-Rei from 1786, when he was already an adult. He joined the
Lay Carmelites in 1800. In 1815 he traveled to
Lisbon, but the date of a presumed return to Brazil is unknown.[1] His importance rests in the volume of sacred works he left marking the entry of romantic influence into the sacred music of the region.[2]
