Some compositions
He wrote some festive cantatas for members of the aristocracy and also composed the music for two Portuguese operas by António José da Silva. José Mazza stated that Teixeira composed seven operas, which were performed by large puppets at the Teatro do Bairro Alto in Lisbon between 1733 and 1739. His surviving theatrical music shows him writing in the contemporary Italian style. His most important sacred work is a 20-voice Te Deum. It alternates the polychoral style of the Roman baroque with an operatic style in the solo sections. Teixeira's sacred works are now in the archive of Lisbon Cathedral.
• Masses • Miserere • Lamentations • Motets • Gaudete, astra • Te Deum, 1734 • Cantata: Gloria, Fama, Virtu - cooperative transcription of the score from the manuscript in the platform. • Marionette Operas in Portuguese - mainly lost • except: As Variedades de Proteu (May 1737), for the theatre of António José da Silva. Score restored 1968, revived 1968, 1982, 2005.
