Miguel de Irízar

Miguel de Irízar y Domenzain (1635–1684) was a Spanish Baroque composer.

Irízar was born in Artajona and trained as a choirboy in León and Toledo.

The correspondence of Irízar preserved in the cathedral of Segovia archives contains a total of 362 letters received during the period 1663 to 1684.

The correspondence also includes extensive detail on performance practice.
