Review
After being an organist in the cathedrals of Seville, El Burgo de Osma and Palencia, he entered the Royal Chapel of Madrid in 1691 and in 1701 was appointed his master. He also directed the music of the court theatre.
His support for Archduke Carlos in the War of Succession cost him exile in France in 1706. Along with Literes, he is the best Spanish author of stage music of his time.
