Spanish organist and composer. His parents, Matías and Josefa, were born
in the city of Corella, Navarre. As a boy he studied music in the
Escolanía of Montserrat with Anselm Viola Valentí, and where Narcís
Casanoves Bertrán held also the post of organist. He finished his stay
there at the age of 17 years and on 13 February 1778 he took the
monastic novice habit from the hands of Dídac Camino, president of the
monastery, in the absence, surely, of Abbot Pere Viver (abbot during
years 1777-1782). The following year he took his full monastic vows at
Montserrat. Is not documented when he was transferred to the monastery
of Montserrat of Madrid, where he cultivated his musical talents as
organist (he was a very fine player) and composing a book of organ
sonatas. It is interesting to note that his works were fairly well known
in Catalonia, since there are different copies made outside Montserrat,
and that they were well received. It is not certain whether he composed
any vocal works for the escolanía.
