in Spain, where he was promoted to chapel master of the Baeza
Cathedral, a position he held until 1612. That year he moved to the
Cathedral of Santa María de Murcia where he is believed to have remained
until 1630. Then he moved to Gran Canaria, where he worked as a chapel
master until 1637. In 1638 he returned to the Iberian Peninsula where he
accepted a musical post in the Cathedral of Santa María y San Julián de
