Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla

While at Jerez, he unsuccessfully contended for the office of maestro at Málaga Cathedral in 1613, losing out to Estêvão de Brito.

Padilla is one of the more important composers represented in the manuscripts at Puebla, Mexico and the Hackenberry collection in Chicago, Illinois.

Padilla was hired as a cantor and assistant professor at Puebla Cathedral under the maestro de capilla Gaspar Fernandes.
