Spanish composer. In 1741 he became a chorister at Valencia Cathedral,
where he remained until on 15 June 1753. He was made acting organist at
the Colegio del Patriarca in the same city; his appointment was made
permanent on 7 June 1755, by which time he had composed ‘many works,
which on being sung were warmly applauded’. In 1757 he competed for the
post of choirmaster at the cathedral, which was awarded to Pascual
Fuentes. Later that year he went as organist to Castellón, and in April
1758 he was appointed choirmaster at Cuenca Cathedral. Finally, on 18
July 1768, on the strength of his reputation and without the usual
competition, he was appointed to the same post at Valencia Cathedral,
where he remained until his retirement in July 1793, three months before
his death. His music includes many masses, a Requiem, psalms and other
Latin works as well as 217 Spanish villancicos.
