Spanish composer. It is said he firstly studied in Zaragoza, possibly in
the Cathedral choir with his uncle Francisco Javier García Fajer 'El
Españoleto' but other sources situed him in Italy. Around 1756 he
settled in Santander where he was appointed as the first Kapellmeister
of the city's Cathedral. His trace was lost then and almost nothing is
known about his life and career there. Shortly before his death his
signature appears on a document welcoming Joseph Bonaparte, so it seems
that he must have had French or Enlightenment leanings towards the end
of his life. Carrasquedo died in Santander on April 12, 1812. He was
buried in the old San Francisco cemetery. As a composer, he mainly wrote
sacred music which has been forgotten after his death.
