Manuel Rodrigues Coelho

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manuel Rodrigues Coelho (c.1555-1635) was a Portuguese organist and composer. After working at the cathedrals of Badajoz and Elvas, he became, in 1603, organist of Lisbon cathedral, and a member of the royal chapel. The first important Iberian keyboard composer since Cabezón, he wrote tientos in a vividly baroque style in which brilliant figuration predominates over thematic development.
