Ignácio Parreiras Neves
(Vila Rica, c.1730 - Vila Rica, c.1794)

Brazilian singer, composer, and conductor. In 1752, he joined the Brotherhood of São José dos Homens Pardos, where he served as a tenor until the end of his life, and also as a 'regente' (conductor/choirmaster) starting in 1792. He assumed the same post at the Church of Nossa Senhora das Mercês de Baixo from 1776 to 1782. He was also an organist and worked for the Senado da Câmara of Vila Rica, often performing as a tenor using the falsetto tradition of the time, following the Spanish and Portuguese style, rather than the Italian castrato tradition. As a composer, a significant portion of his musical output has been lost. Among the extant works, a Salve Regina, mass settings, a Ladainha (1789), the Ofício para os Funerais do Rei D. Pedro III, and the Oratório ao Menino Deus Para a Noite de Natal.
