Jeronymo Francisco de Lima (also known as Jeronymo de Lima) was a Brazilian composer and musician active during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. He is primarily associated with the Baroque genre, particularly in the context of religious music. Lima's work is significant for its contributions to the development of sacred music in Brazil, reflecting the cultural fusion of European traditions with local influences. Notable works by Lima include his motets and sacred cantatas, which were performed in churches and are characterized by their intricate polyphony and expressive melodies. His compositions often utilized texts in Latin and Portuguese, highlighting the liturgical practices of the time. Lima's impact on music is most evident in his role in the early establishment of Brazilian Baroque music, paving the way for future composers in the region.
