Submit information about the music of António Marques Lésbio

Life

The Portuguese writer and composer António Lésbio became master of the royal chamber musicians in 1668 and thereafter held a succession of royal appointments. Of the Spanish villancicos and Portuguese villancicos for which he is remembered, only 16 survive with music. They show him as a composer of grace and polish. His larger church works were lost in the Lisbon earthquake of 1755.
