Spanish composer. Baptized in the Santa Maria del Mar parish in
Barcelona, he began his musical studies as a choirboy at the Escolania
de Montserrat. In 1778 he was appointed 'maestro de capilla' at Seu
d'Urgell Cathedral. After his ordination as a priest in 1780, he secured
the post of 'maestro de capilla' at Girona Cathedral in 1781,
succeeding Francesc Juncà, and in a post he held until 1785. In that
year he transferred to Córdoba to assume this magisterium, a position he
retained until his death, with one brief interruption between 1787 to
1789 to assume the post of 'maestro de capilla' of the Royal Convent of
La Encarnación in Madrid. As a composer, his legacy is exceptionally
prolific, with a corpus that exceeds 900 cataloged compositions, mainly
sacred. His style is rooted in the classicism of the Viennese school.
