From 1768 he was an organist at the Orense Cathedral
and the Madrid Royal Chapel, working in the service
first of King Charles IV and afterwards Ferdinand VII.
After the return of Ferdinand VII to the throne, he
interceded for his friend and fellow composer Juan
Oliver Astorga [es].
From 1805 until his death he held the charge of
director of the Royal Chapel (maestro de la Capilla
Real) in Madrid, and rector of the Real Colegio de
Niños Cantores.
His work is scattered across multiple archives
including the Ciudad Real Cathedral, the National
Library of Madrid and the Orihuela Cathedral, Valencia.
He composed more than seventy pieces of sacred music
(oratories, psalms, Holy Week lamentations) and sonatas
and fugues for organ, plus a string quartet.
His well-known Organ Sonata de Primo Tono has been
acclaimed as an example of the Age of Romanticism. In
Béjar, there is a square in honor of this illustrious
citizen however, his chamber music received little
notoriety other than it being a unique form for Spanish
composers.
