The School of Sacred Music of Morelia was of vital importance for Mexico's musical development in the mid-20th century. The students trained there dispersed throughout the country and made known the compositional legacy of their mentor Miguel Bernal Jimenez. They made musical innovations and became a means of dissemination, religiosity and culture for the country. Sacred Music is part of the repertoire in our community, which has been little studied and should be considered as an important part of our legacy. In particular, we take the work and trajectory of maestro Delfino Madrigal, one of Bernal's disciples, as proof of this. His study will give us knowledge of the environment, customs and traditional music of the State. It is important to point out that, the aesthetics of the master Delfino, sought to include traditional manifestations combined with Sacred Music and Modernity. The master achieved through the notes and staves to reveal the permanence and rescue of the music of their ancestors in the lake area of Michoacan, a tradition that was not only aimed at popular music, but also to the religiosity and mysticism that implies faith within the rational construction of each human being.
La Escuela Superior de Música Sagrada de Morelia fue de vital importancia para el desarrollo musical en México en la mitad de siglo XX. Los alumnos ahí formados, se dispersaron por el país y dieron a conocer el legado compositivo de su mentor Miguel Bernal Jiménez. Realizaron innovaciones musicales y se convirtieron en un medio de difusión, religiosidad y cultura para el país. La Música Sacra es parte del repertorio en nuestra comunidad, que poco ha sido estudiada y debe ser considerada como importante de nuestro legado. En particular nosotros tomamos la obra y trayectoria del maestro Delfino Madrigal, uno de los discípulos de Bernal, que nos da prueba de ello. Su estudio nos otorgará conocer el entorno, costumbres y la música tradicional del Estado. Es importante señalar que, la estética del maestro Delfino, buscó incluir manifestaciones tradicionales combinadas con Música Sacra y Modernidad. El maestro logró a través de las notas y pentagramas develarnos la permanencia y rescate de la música de sus ancestros de la zona lacustre de Michoacán, una tradición que no solo estaba encaminada a la música popular, sino también a la religiosidad y misticismo que implica la fe dentro de la construcción racional de cada ser humano.
