The cantatas are in the Italian style. The lyrics are often very obscure. The cantatas for “contralto” are particularly elaborate with long melismatic sections. It is not clear whether they were intended for male or female singers. The solo soprano cantata Afectos amantes contains an aria "La solfa mia" based on the natural hexachord which may be a personal statement by Torres of his approach to composition. A number of works by Torres have been recorded on CD by the Spanish group Al Ayre Español. Some of the scores from "Arte de canto llano" and from the Guatemala archive have been transcribed and are accessible in the Choral Public Domain Library.
