---
Brazilian composer, organist and conductor. He was active in the
province of Minas Gerais during the late colonial period and worked as a
scribe in several brotherhoods in São José del Rei and São João del
Rei. In the register of death certificates and wills at the church of S
Antônio in his native city he is described as ‘mestre compositor de
muzica’. According to research by J.M. Neves, Oliveira was also a
captain and a mulatto. His rather extensive output includes a Mass, a
Miserere, Te Deum, Magnificat, novenas, litanies and motets. The works
are preserved chiefly in the archives of the Lira Sanjoanense Orchestra
and the Lira Ceciliana, though few of the manuscripts are autograph.
