---
Spanish composer. His birth date is estimated to be around 1737, based
on his ordination as a priest in 1762, the minimum age for which was 25.
Son of Gregorio Valenzuela and Ana Valdivia, the details of his youth
and musical training are scarce, though he likely received musical
instruction at the Collegiate Church of Alcalá la Real. On 4 June 1760,
after the death of Antonio González Guerrero, he was appointed chapel
master of the Collegiate Church of Olivares in a position he held for
the rest of his life. Valdivia's tenure was marked by both prolific
composition (over 200 works, primarily sacred, including 148 villancicos
and cantadas in Spanish, and 73 Latin works) and documented
indiscipline and frequent absences.
