Bernardino de Figueroa

Bernardino de Figueroa (c.1510-November 1586) was a Spanish composer, afterwards Archbishop of Brindisi in Italy.

Figueroa entered the chapel choir in 1518 and was the first maestro de capilla at the Royal Chapel of Granada until 1551,[1] being succeeded by Rodrigo de Ceballos in 1561.

He wrote letters recommending the musical theorist Fray Juan Bermudo and in the latter's Perfecting the perfect instrument 1555, a treatise on playing the vihuela, Figueroa was listed before Cristóbal de Morales as having checked and approved the text.
