Joseph (José, Josep) Pradas [Prades] Gallén
(Villahermosa del Río, 22 August 1689 - Villahermosa del Río, 11 August 1757)
Spanish composer. By 1700, he received music lessons from Joan Baptista Cabanilles and Antonio Teodoro Ortells when he was a choirboy at Valencia Cathedral. In 1712 he was appointed maestro de capilla at the parish church at Algemesi, and in June 1717 he secured a similar post at the parish church of Santa María in Castellón de la Plana. Finally, on 2 March 1728 he was promoted to maestro de capilla at Valencia Cathedral, a post he held the rest of his life. He retired on 22 February 1757 and returned to his hometown where he died a few months later. As a composer, he was one of the most well-renowned Spanish composers of the eighteenth century with over than 400 works, most of them currently extant and preserved in the archives of the Valencia Cathedral and Segorbe Cathedral. His output was mainly religious and include seven masses, 34 Miserere settings and over 300 villancicos and other vernacular compositions.

Gorgeous Mass by this Spanish genius I never heard of before. It sounds Italian, proves Spain had earlier Baroque composers and later ones ❤it Pau thank you. Soul soothing music brings the listener closer to the Lord.

Bellissima. Josep Pradas Gallén's contributed the development of the Baroque villancico - in this genre, considered Hispanic par excellence, is where he will filter the new compositional elements, although he will also apply the Italian fashion.
