Miguel Lerdo de Tejada (composer)

Miguel Lerdo de Tejada (September 29, 1869 in Morelia – May 25, 1941) was a Mexican composer/songwriter, pianist, and conductor.

Lerdo de Tejada studied in Morelia and Mexico City.

One of his most popular pieces was a song Perjura, with text by Fernando Luna y Drusina.
