José Lidón

As an musician Lidon held positions as an organist at Orense Cathedral, first organist from the royal chapel in Madrid, and rector of the true Colegio. Lidon managed the second option two positions until his loss of life. The genres where he made up include body organ music, sacred vocal works together with orchestra, a significant opera and chamber music. The body organ music was seen as a counterpoint, thought bass, and melodic strains consistently contained through all of the voices. Sacred choral music was dominated by an atmosphere of asceticism and starkness. Lidon’s `opera seria’ included few differences through the Italian operas of his time; but, this opera is at Castillian which recognized it from every other. The chamber music that Lidon constructed is of small interest apart from it being truly a unique type for Spanish composers.
