Francesc Juncà
(Sabadell, 28 November 1742 - Girona, 19 June 1833)

Was a Catalan composer and organist. His musical training, by the Escolania de Montserrat, laid the principles of who would be one of the purest representatives of Catalan religious classicism. Kapellmeister assistant in Santa Maria del Mar and a chapel master on a full time at the Cathedral of Girona, in 1780 he was appointed choirmaster of the Cathedral of Toledo, but by royal disposition in 1792 he returned to Girona as a canon and music commissioner. His musical output was mainly the ecclesiastical. It enjoyed a great reputation and it played an important peninsular role illustrated, as well, with a legacy of 300 scores. #ClassicalMusic
