Spanish composer and organist. He was christened on 24 March 1699 at the
Church of St. James the Great in Sangüesa. He was a choirboy at the
Colegio de Cantorcicos, Madrid, under José de Torres, who in 1717
recommended him for the post of organist at the cathedral of Salamanca,
where he remained for 16 years until 1733. In 1733 he came second in the
competition for maestro de capilla at the cathedral of Málaga, and was
awarded the position when the winner, Manuel Martinez Delgado, died
suddenly. In 1741, Iribarren's salary was raised to prevent him taking
the post of maestro di cappella of the cathedral of Valladolid,
thereafter he remained in Málaga until his retirement, a year before his
death. He was buried in the cathedral. As a composer, he wrote more
than 800 works, mostly sacred and currently preserved in the Málaga
cathedral archive. The style of his music is characterized by an
infrequent use of the polychoral technique. He probably was the most
prolific Spanish villancico composer of the 18th century; since his
entire collection is dated (1722-1766).
