About Crisanto Jacinto de Escobar
Crisanto Jacinto de Escobar (Murcia, 1654 – Teruel, 1719) was a Murcian-born composer who became a central figure in the musical life of late-seventeenth-century Teruel. Educated in the Murcia cathedral choir and formed under Miguel Tello, he appears in 1684 when Tello recommends his 30-year-old presbyter-disciple to the Teruel chapter as maestro de capilla. Escobar would hold the Teruel magisterio for decades, while repeatedly testing his market value in high-profile competitions—opposing without success at the Colegio del Corpus Christi in Valencia and later at Cuenca—but remaining sufficiently respected to be asked onto a tribunal for the Valencia cathedral post in 1712. He retired on a formal jubilation grant in 1714 and died in Teruel around 1719.
