Life
Born: c.1547, Lisbon
Died: 24 Sept 1605, Évora
Biography
He was mestre da capela at Portalegre Cathedral and then mestre of the private chapel of the Cardinal Infante Henrique, accompanying him to Évora when Henrique became Archbishop there in 1575. From 1578 Mendes was master of the choirboys at Évora Cathedral.
Mendes's considerable reputation rested not only on his own works (just six surviving pieces have been identified) but also on his abilities as a teacher: among his pupils were the most famous Portuguese composers of the next generation, including Manuel Cardoso, Duarte Lobo and Filipe de Magalhães. In his Fuente de Aganipe (Madrid, 1644) Manuel de Faria e Sousa included Mendes among the four finest Portuguese composers and considered him worthy of comparison with Morales and Guerrero.
