Music

Life

From 1722 to 1726 he was a royal scholar in Rome. In 1724, Pier Leone Ghezzi drew his caricature, describing him as “a young but excellent composer of concertos and church music who sang with extreme taste”. He returned to Portugal in 1726, where he became organist of the Royal and Patriarchal Chapel. He probably died in the Lisbon earthquake of 1755.
