Mateo Flecha 'El viejo' (Composer)

Born: 1481, Prades, Spain

Died: 1553, Monasterio de Santa María de Poblet, Spain

Nationality: Spanish, Catalan

Mateo Flecha (Catalan: Mateu Fletxa) was a Catalan composer born in Kingdom of Aragon, in the region of Prades. He is sometimes known as "El Viejo" (the elder) to distinguish him from his nephew, Mateo Flecha "El Joven" (the younger), also a composer of madrigals. "El Viejo" is best known for his ensaladas, published in Prague in 1581 by the same nephew.

Mateo Flecha directed the music at the cathedral of Lleida (September 1523 – October 1525). From there he moved to Guadalajara, in the service for six years of the Duke, Diego Hurtado de Mendoza.
