Carlos Patiño

Carlos Patiño (Cuenca 1600–Madrid 5 September 1675) was a Spanish Baroque composer.

[1] Patiño was a choirboy at Seville Cathedral where he studied with Alonso Lobo.

On 1 January 1634 Patiño succeeded Mateo Romero as maestro de capilla in the royal chapel.

He was the first maestro of the capilla real, formerly the Flemish chapel, to be born in Spain.

His theatre work included the music to El Nuevo Olimpo of 1648, but this too is lost.
