Juan Pascual Valdivia y Valenzuela
(Alcalá la Real, c. 1737 - Olivares, 12 March 1811)

Spanish composer. His birth date is estimated to be around 1737, based on his ordination as a priest in 1762, the minimum age for which was 25. Son of Gregorio Valenzuela and Ana Valdivia, the details of his youth and musical training are scarce, though he likely received musical instruction at the Collegiate Church of Alcalá la Real. On 4 June 1760, after the death of Antonio González Guerrero, he was appointed chapel master of the Collegiate Church of Olivares in a position he held for the rest of his life. Valdivia's tenure was marked by both prolific composition (over 200 works, primarily sacred, including 148 villancicos and cantadas in Spanish, and 73 Latin works) and documented indiscipline and frequent absences.
