Ginés Pérez de la Parra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ginés Pérez de la Parra (c. 1548-1600) was a Valencian composer during the Renaissance. He was born in Orihuela, a city in the province of Alicante in Spain. His work and that of his contemporaries led to formation of a stylistic school of music known as "valenciana."
Ginés Pérez spent five years of his life working as a musical composer in the Catholic cathedral of Orihuela, directing a cappella music from 1581 to 1585. The music he composed was also used in many Spanish cathedrals, but the majority of his compositions remained incomplete. Today the largest collection of his work is held in Zaragosa.
