Domingo Crisanto Delgado Gómez

Domingo Crisanto Delgado Gómez (1806, Güímar, Tenerife, Spain – 1858, San Juan, Puerto Rico) was one of the most famous composers of the nineteenth century Canary Islands; and first organist of the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista in Puerto Rico.

[1] Crisanto was choirmaster apprentice, his teacher was Miguel Jurado Bustamante, who was succeeded by Manuel Fragoso in 1828.

Domingo Crisanto served as assistant sochantre as second organist at the La Laguna Cathedral and remarkable composer.

After the death of Bustamante and due to the illness of Fragoso, Crisanto kept hoping to be appointed choirmaster at the La Laguna Cathedral, a distinction which would never happen.

For these reasons and looking for new professional horizons, he moved to Puerto Rico where he joined the music chapel of the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista.
