Manuel de Tavares
(Portalegre, c.1585 - Cuenca, 13 October 1638)

Portuguese composer. His early years are unknwon but by 1609, he settled in Spain, where he was promoted to chapel master of the Baeza Cathedral, a position he held until 1612. That year he moved to the Cathedral of Santa María de Murcia where he is believed to have remained until 1630. Then he moved to Gran Canaria, where he worked as a chapel master until 1637. In 1638 he returned to the Iberian Peninsula where he accepted a musical post in the Cathedral of Santa María y San Julián de Cuenca. He remained there for a very short time since the result of a sudden weather change he died in October 1638. As a composer, he mainly wrote sacred music. #ClassicalMusic
