El Padre Eduardo Mojica, en mala hora es trasladado a un libertino pueblo donde las mujeres se habían abrogado para sí el tradicional derecho masculino de conquistar al sexo opuesto, enamorándose de una bella joven. Los hombres no le perdonan su doble moral: inquisitorial para los feligreses, laxa y libidinosa para èl; y una mañana que sale a dar un corto paseo por el pueblo, es agredido por una turba de no menos de treinta energúmenos, enviándolo al hospital con multiples fracturas y contusiones. El cura decide vengarse de sus agresores enamorando a doce de sus esposas, teniendo un hijo con once de ellas, esa, en síntesis, su venganza por partida doble: ponièndoles los “cuernos” y que le criaran un hijo suyo con todos los deberes y obligaciones que conlleva semejante responsabilidad. Pasados dos años, las mujeres descubren que fueron utilizadas por el sacerdote para llegar a sus esposos y concretar su venganza, decidiendo a su vez tomar represalias en su contra....y lo hacen.... Su hermano mayor, como irreverentemente llamaba a Jesucristo, lo abandona y se lo hace saber en la que sería la última misa ofi ciada por el sacrilego sacerdote. El padre Eduardo Mojica Castro en su postrero acto como clèrigo, lee ante el pueblo su TESTAMENTO, la última bellaquería cometida por èste cura quien al parecer estaba predestinado para alcanzar altas dignidades en El Escalafón Clerical.

Juan Bautista Plaza (1898-1965) was one of the most important musicians in the history of Venezuela. In addition to composing in a variety of genres and styles, he was the leading figure in Venezuelan music education and musicology at a time when his compatriots were seeking to solidify their cultural identity. Plaza's compositions in the emerging nationalist style and his efforts to improve musical institutions in his home country parallel the work of contemporaneous Latin American musicians including Carlos Chávez of Mexico, Amadeo Roldán of Cuba, and Camargo Guarnieri of Brazil. Plaza's life and music are little studied, and Labonville's ambitious book is the first in English to be based on his extensive writings and compositions. As these and other documents show, Plaza filled numerous roles in Venezuela's musical infrastructure including researcher, performer, teacher, composer, promoter, critic, chapel master, and director of national culture. Labonville examines Plaza's many roles in an attempt to assess how the nationalist spirit affected art music culture in Venezuela, and what changes it brought to Venezuela's musical landscape.
