Composer

Kapellmeister and Composer

He was a disciple of the brothers Roura (Josep and Jaume) and Jaume Isern and pursued a religious career. He was fully committed to the musical life of the church of Santa Maria de Mataró: from 1848 he conducted its choir and from 1853 he was its Kapellmeister. Of particular interest among his output is Missa de Glòria per solistes, cor, orgue, orquestra, (also known as the "Missa de les Santes"), which was revised and re-orchestrated by Cristòfor Taltabull and Josep Soler in the 1960s.
