Juan Domingo Vidal
(Reus, bap. 23 May 1734 - Cadiz, 22 April 1808)

Spanish organist and composer. He received an early formation in Reus before applying, in 1759, for the position of chapel master of the Antequera's Real Colegiata de Santa María la Mayor. Failing to reach this position, he traveled to Sevilla where he was admitted as chapel master of the church of Colegial del Salvador. He remained there until 1788, when he was reclaimed by the Cathedral of Santa Cruz de Cádiz to hold the position of interim chapel master while Francisco Delgado was convalescing. Nevertheless, in 1792 he officialy took the post he held for the rest of his life. As a composer, he mainly wrote sacred music, including 3 solemn masses, a requiem mass and an extensive catalog of minor works such as psalms, hymns, carols and others. His style, at the crossroads of old polyphony and new modernity trends, was the common denominator of his repertoire. He died in Cadiz in April 1808. #ClassicalMusic
