Compuestas Spanish (Primary)

Compuestas de Lleno Spanish

Cheio Portuguese


Description:

These names are listed only in Grove and Williams. Regarding Cheio, Williams says only �Chorus Mixture of the same type as the Spanish Compuestas de Lleno�. Regarding Compuestas, Williams says �Spanish Mixture or Lleno, similar to the French Plein Jeu but rather less stereotyped in content�. Grove describes Compuestas as �A mixture or Lleno, like the Fourniture but more varied in content�. Compuestas de Lleno is not defined by either source. The word compuestas means �composed�; compuestas de lleno means �composed completely�. With so little information, we can only presume that Compuestas is a shortened form of Compuestas de Lleno. More research is needed.
