Description: "Severino Reyes (1861-1942), writer and dramatist, wrote the libretto to a total of twenty zarzuelas in which he worked closely with composers ranging from Fulgencio Tolentino (1870-1940) to Antonio Molina (1894-1980). Unfortunately, only eleven of these wroks have extant music today. Nevertheless, they present a good cross section of musical theory and practice in the Philippines early in the twentieth century"--Page 4 of cover.
