Result of an exhaustive research for autographs and manuscript copies in music collections in Brazil and abroad, it contains all the preserved orks of Nunes Garcia. It includes a concise biography, based mainly in TAUNAY: 1930. It is a pioneer work in Brazilian musicological research.

MURICY, José Cândido de Andrade et alii. Estudos Mauricianos (Mauritian Studies). Rio de Janeiro: INM/FUNARTE/PRÓ-MEMUS, 1983. 88 p.
A collection of historical texts and musicological studies about the composer. The historical texts include biographical notes produced by relatives, friends and admirers throughout the nineteenth century. Studies are signed by major musicologists active at the time of publication. No contribution of Cleofe Person de Mattos, considered at the time the highest authority in relation to the priest José Maurķcio. In addition to a concise presentation by Muricy, are the following texts:
TAUNAY, Visconde de. A Small Biographical Sketch. Originally published in 1897 by Casa Bevilacqua, as an introduction to Nepomuceno“s reduction of the "Requiem" (CPM 185) to voices and piano. The "Biographical Sketch" and the subsequent works of TAUNAY established the biographical version of the composer as a champion of the German musical traditions, as opposed to Marcos Portugal, representative of the Italian bel canto, and the myth of financial decay after the arrival of the alleged rival to Rio de Janeiro.

Written in 1863, as a requirement for admission as a correspondent member of the Brazilian Historical and Geographical Institute, the "Biographical Notes" are also precious source for a biography of his father.

BARBOSA, Januário da Cunha. Obituary (Nicrologia). Written by his superior and friend in the Chapter of the See, Januário da Cunha Barbosa, and published twelve days after his death, the Obituary is the first biographical note about the father master. The Biographical Notes of Dr. Jose Mauricio Jr. corroborate most of the information in this text. There is only one inaccuracy: the birthplace attributed to Apollinario Nunes Garcia, composer“s father. Noteworthy is the mention of an opening Dramatic Ouverture composed to the birthday of Viceroy Fernando [José de Portugal and Castro], then Marquis de Aguiar, who, by the time he ruled, from 1801 to 1806, can be any of the three known Mauritian instrumental compositions, or a lost work.
