Manuel Machado

Although Machado was an instrumentalist nearly all his compositions were vocal scores. He resided in Spain and examined with Duarte Lobo and afterwards served within the courtroom orchestra from the royal chapel in Madrid, together with his dad, Lope, who performed the harp. He became a royal chamber musician in 1639. Machado’s extant compositions are vocal pieces within the secular vein with extremely expressive music constructed for the text messages he organized. Harmonically Machado’s music was sonorous and his usage of tempos had been effectively indicative from the transient behaviour associated with like.
