History:

Argentine musicologist and composer.

Born in 1884 in Córdoba (Argentina). He and Luis Martínez Villada co-founded the Centro Musical de Córdoba in 1909. The following year, the provincial government paid for his passage to Europe. The purpose of his trip was to recruit teachers in Madrid, Paris, Liège and Brussels for the Conservatorio Provincial de Música de Córdoba, today called the Conservatorio Superior de Música Félix Tomás Garzón. Santiago Beltrán and Óscar Doering were also involved in this mission.

Moyano was vice-president of the General Education Board and sat on the Provincial Cultural Committee. During this period, he corresponded with Manuel de Falla. On 20 September 1943, he wrote to introduce Falla to Juan José Rossi, a pianist and teacher at the provincial conservatory; and on 25 May 1945, he informed Falla of the activity of the Orquesta Sinfónica de Córdoba and Albert Wolff's success as its conductor. That year he helped to arrange the concert-lecture that Jaume Pahissa gave at the Teatro Rivera Indarte in Córdoba, alongside Conchita Badía, Donato Colacelli and the Orquesta Sinfónica de Córdoba, organised by the Círculo Musical.

He published a biography of a noted portraitist, "El doctor Jenaro Pérez: magistrado y artista cordobés" (1942), as well as the writings "Instituto de Estudios Americanistas" and "La cultura musical cordobesa" (1941), in which he discussed Inocente Cárcano, Victor Kühn and other figures of note. He also contributed to the book "Fallos y su doctrina" and composed "Cuatro poemas" (1943) for voice and piano. He passed away in 1968.
