The piece was composed for the organ and is part of a collection of works known as "Libro de tientos y discursos de música práctica para órgano" (Book of Tientos and Discourses of Practical Music for Organ). The piece was likely composed in the early 17th century, although the exact date is unknown. It was first performed on the organ, although it is not clear where or when the premiere took place. "Discurso de medio registro de dos baxones de segundo tono No. 55" is divided into two movements. The first movement is marked "Allegro" and is in a fast tempo. It features two baxons, which are a type of reed stop on the organ. The baxons are played in alternation, creating a lively and rhythmic texture. The movement is characterized by its energetic and joyful mood. The second movement is marked "Largo" and is in a slower tempo. It features a single baxon, played in a more contemplative and expressive manner. The movement is characterized by its lyrical and introspective mood. Overall, "Discurso de medio registro de dos baxones de segundo tono No. 55" is a representative example of the tiento genre, which was a type of keyboard music popular in Spain during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The piece showcases Correa de Arrauxo's skill as a composer and his ability to create a variety of moods and textures using the organ.
