Biography
Pablo Nasarre (1650 in Alagón, Zaragoza – 1730 in Zaragoza) was a Spanish priest, organist, and Baroque composer. His work, Escuela Música según la práctica moderna, made him an important theorist of the Baroque era.
Nassarre was born blind in 1650. He moved to Daroca to be taught by Pablo Bruna, also a blind composer. At age 22, Nassarre became a Franciscan and joined the Royal Convent of San Francisco in Zaragoza, where he was the organist until his death.
He had also opened a school of harmony and counterpoint, where José de Torres and Joaquín Martínez de la Roca were his students.
