Corrente italiana

Juan Bautista José Cabanilles (1644 -1712) was a Spanish organist and composer at Valencia Cathedral. He is considered by many to have been the greatest Spanish Baroque composer, and has been [by whom?] called the Spanish Bach.

He probably began his musical career as a singer in a choir of a local church. Later he studied to become a priest in the cathedral at Valencia, which included lessons in music. On 1665 he was named the assistant organist of the cathedral. A year later he became the principal organist. In 1668 he was ordained as a priest. He kept his position as principal organist for 45 years, but from 1703 on his health often necessitated. From 1675 to 1677 he also took charge of teaching the children in the cathedral choir. Many of Cabanilles's compositions are virtuosic and advanced for their time, but generally, he is in the Spanish tradition of keyboard music following 16th century patterns. Numerous compositions for organ (tientos, toccatas, passacaglias, and other works) have survived.

Hereby a fine piece with some variations on an Italian theme, in which I can show some Spanish and non-Spanish sounds of the Metzler organ of Poblet.
