About Miguel de Arizo
Miguel de Arizo, also as Arizu and Arizcum, (Arizu in Navarra, around 1593 or 1595 — Madrid , May 15, 1648), was a Spanish classical singer and composer. Miguel de Arizo, as a choirboy, was part of the Royal Chapel from 1604 to 1608 , where he studied with the vice-master, Gabriel Díaz Bessón. Four years later, in 1608, he tracks him down in the Flemish Chapel of Philip III in Madrid, attached to the House of Burgundy, also as part of the children's choir. With the arrival of adolescence and the change of voice, Felipe IV granted him in 1614 an ordinary singing in the Flemish Chapel as contralto , an activity that he associated with that of singer in the Royal Chapel, which he joined between 1616 and 1627. In March 1629 he obtained another ordinary position in the Flemish Chapel, in addition to the one he already had in the Royal Spanish Chapel, with which his salary was doubled. The last news about his life is from 1642, when the bishop of Pamplona granted him an ecclesiastical pension of 250 ducats. The only works that have been preserved are the four-voice song Filis del alma mía , a three-voice romance entitled Vestióse el prado galán and the sacred Christmas carol Por coronar a María las flores se defolojaron. The first two works are part of the Sablonara songbook. The Christmas carol is in the library of The Hispanic Society of America in New York.
