Who was Juan de Lienas?
Juan de Lienas, is a composer, probably Mexican, whose compositions - several polyphonic masses and motets in the old style of Guerrero - are found in the Convento del Carmen Codex, of the former Convent school in San Ángel, Mexico City. He is "tentatively identified" with Juan Hernández chapelmaster of Mexico City Cathedral till 1620. If so, then he is unusual for cathedral chapelmasters of the period in being of Mexican Indian origin and married.
One source identifying him as a Cuban composer and chapelmaster at the Cathedral of Havana is to be disregarded.
