Juan de Anchieta (Azpeitia, Gipuzkoa, Spain, 1462 – [[[Azpeitia]], 1523) was a leading Spanish Basque composer of the Renaissance, at the Royal Court Chaplaincy in Granada of Queen Isabel I of Castile, her daughter Queen Joanna I of Castile "The Mad" and father, (husband of Isabel I), King Ferdinand II of Aragon. He should not be confounded with notorious worthy sculptor Juan de Ancheta, a.k.a. Juan de Anchieta ( also from Azpeitia, circa 1540 - Pamplona, 30 November 1588) as mentioned in the will of French sculptor, painter and architect working in Spain since around 1533, Juan de Juni, a.k.a. in French Jean de Joigny, (circa 1507–1577).
History
Born into a leading Basque family, his mother was a great-aunt of Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus.[1] In 1489 he was appointed to the chapel of Queen Isabella and in 1495 became maestro di capilla to Prince Don Juan, returning to the Queen's service after the Prince's death in 1497, and in 1504 to that of the new Queen, Joanna the Mad. He held various church benefices, from 1518 as Abbot of Arbós, town located at the province of Tarragona, as a chaplain at Granada Cathedral, spending his final years in a Franciscan convent he had founded in Azpeitia.
Sacred Music
Some thirty of Juan de Anchieta's compositions survive, among them two complete Masses, two Magnificats, a Salve Regina, four attributed Passion settings, with other sacred works and four compositions with Spanish texts. The two Masses and many motets which survive show extensive use of plainsong and much chordal writing.[1] He was among the leading Spanish composers of his generation, writing music for the ample resources of the court chapel of the Catholic Monarchs.[2]
