Biography

This composer has no entry in the Diccionario de la música española e hispanoamericana (DMEH). Apparently he was chapelmaster at Orihuela from 1676 to 1694. Consuelo Prats Redondo, "Murcia", DMEH, vol. 7, p. 893, indicated that Roque Monserrate was chapelmaster at Murcia cathedral between 1692 and 1711. RISM attributes erroneously three compositions in E-MUc 4 to the theorist Andrés de Monserrate owing to its last name, but in fact the works should be attributed to the chapelmaster Roque Monserrate. The last name of this composer appears as "Montserrat" in the ascriptions of his works in Oriola.
