Francisco Correa de Araujo worked in music at a period when the art was changing shape around them.
The record lists Francisco Correa de Araujo as Spanish organist and composer.
Francisco Correa de Araujo was born at Seville in 1584. His recorded nationality is Crown of Castile.
Music then was written to commission, for a court, a church or a patron, and a composer's freedom was bounded by whoever paid.
He worked as organist, composer and music theorist.
The instruments recorded are organ.
A musical reputation rests on a handful of works that refuse to date.
That the work came out of Crown of Castile shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Francisco Correa de Araujo died in 1654, aged 70. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
