Gabriel Bocángel y Unzueta (1603–1658) was a

chronicler to the king.[1] He participated in various literary contests and competitions. Philip IV of Spain granted him a life pension.[1]

He was the first playwright to introduce music into theatrical performances, thus creating a distant precursor to the zarzuela.[1]

His poems can be divided into two main groups: Liras Humanas and Liras Sagradas.[1]
