Returning to Panama, he became director of the new Escuela Nacional de Música, occupying the position from 1904 until 1918.[1] Active as an ethnomusicologist, he published Tradiciones y cantares de Panama in 1930; his compositions include a sonata for violin. Active as well in the diplomatic service, at one time he served as Minister of Foreign Affairs. He died in the city of his birth.[3]
