Bartolomé de Escobedo
Bartolomé de Escobedo (1515 – August 11, 1563) was a Spanish composer of the Renaissance.
Biography
He was born in
Salamanca where he was a singer, and in 1536 joined the papal choir in Rome as only the second Spaniard to be admitted after Cristóbal de Morales. He remained in Rome until 1554, interrupted by a short return to his home in 1541-5. When he left the papal choir he returned to Spain, taking a non-resident prebend at the cathedral in Segovia.[1]
He had his share of difficulties while in Rome, mostly due to his short temper and illness. Records from the
modes to 16th century music.[3]
Escobedo has been speculated to be the teacher of Tomás Luis de Victoria, but no firm evidence of this has been uncovered.[4]
Of his music only two masses, six motets and one villancico survive.
