About Francisco Zubieta
Francisco Zubieta (c. 1657 - Palencia, February 7, 1718) was a Spanish composer and conductor. Not to be confused with Francisco Zubieta, harpist in the Cathedral of Pamplona, composer of Breve dies. Zubieta trained musically in Madrid with the teacher Cristóbal Galán. After the death of Andrés Barea on September 20, 1680, the magisterium of the Cathedral of Palencia became vacant.3 In the oppositions held on November 15 in Palencia, in which he faced Juan Bonet de Paredes and Matías Juan de Veana, he came out as a winner and moved to the city from Madrid. In Palencia, Zubieta had the collaboration of Sebastián Durón, the first organist until 1692, to bring the Palencia metropolitan to its greatest musical splendor. In 1692 he went to the Cathedral of Salamanca as a chapel master. However, he did not stay long, since his ambition to become Professor of Music at the University of Salamanca could not be carried out because the position was in the hands of teacher Diego Verdugo. According to musicologists Artero and Javier Pintado, the teacher had difficulties in Salamanca with the children of the choir, who gave him a lot of work. The thing is that his discontent should have been known, because the council received several letters from other teachers interested in the position, among them, Vicente Pantoja Galán, teacher of the Cathedral of Oviedo, in 1694. Zubieta finally left office on May 5, 1694. In the controversy of the Missa Scala Aretina Zubieta took a stand against Francisco Valls. In Palencia he had been replaced by Matías Juan de Veana, who had managed to bring the organist José Urroz from Madrid. In 1693 Veana was appointed master of the chapel of the Monastery of the Incarnation of Madrid and left the position in Palencia vacant. Zubieta offered from Salamanca to occupy the position and the council accepted. Zubieta would remain in office until his death, collaborating with Durón from Madrid, exchanging musicians and information.
