---
Spanish organist and composer. He received an early formation in Reus
before applying, in 1759, for the position of chapel master of the
Antequera's Real Colegiata de Santa María la Mayor. Failing to reach
this position, he traveled to Sevilla where he was admitted as chapel
master of the church of Colegial del Salvador. He remained there until
1788, when he was reclaimed by the Cathedral of Santa Cruz de Cádiz to
hold the position of interim chapel master while Francisco Delgado was
convalescing. Nevertheless, in 1792 he officialy took the post he held
for the rest of his life. As a composer, he mainly wrote sacred music,
including 3 solemn masses, a requiem mass and an extensive catalog of
minor works such as psalms, hymns, carols and others. His style, at the
crossroads of old polyphony and new modernity trends, was the common
denominator of his repertoire. He died in Cadiz in April 1808.
