Biography

In 1688, it enters the College of the Children Singers of the Royal Vault of Madrid. In 1693, it belongs to the orchestra of the Royal Vault as violoncellist; quickly, it becomes the first violoncello and, then, the chief of the aforesaid the Royal Vault. From 1697, it starts to write scenic parts. The arrival with the throne of Philippe V and the imposition of new foreign musicians at the court, forced Literes to increase its lyric production. Today, he is regarded as the best type-setter of zarzuelas of the Baroque. Many the booklets of its works are due to the writer Jose de Cañizares. He is the father of two musicians: Jose Literes there Sánchez (which worked for the dukes of Osuna to Seville) and Antonio Literes there Montalbo.
