Cristóbal Galán (ca. 163024 September 1684) was a Spanish Baroque composer. The first record of Galán is that in 1651 he was rejected as ''maestro de capilla'' in Sigüenza because he was married.〔See New Grove article by John H. Baron, Jack Sage.〕 From 1653 he was a singer and organist, then later ''maestro de capilla'' in Cagliari, Sardinia.;〔Gian Nicola Spanu ''Cristóbal Galán: e la vita musicale a Cagliari nel seicento'' 1996〕 then from 1656 to 1659 in Morella, Castellon. From 1660 to 1663 he worked in Madrid, in an unknown position. From 1664 to 1667 he was ''maestro de capilla'' at Segovia Cathedral, then moving to the Convent of Las Descalzas Reales, Madrid, where in 1680, five years after the death of Carlos Patiño, he became director of the ''capilla real.'' He died in Madrid. In letters written in Madrid in 1675 and 1681 to Miguel de Irízar, Galán is cited as Madrid's principal composer of sacred music, since Juan Hidalgo de Polanco was only interested in writing ''tonos humanos.''〔Louise K. Stein Songs of mortals, dialogues of the gods: music and theatre in seventeenth Century 1993 p300〕 A generation later his style was still respected by Francisco Valls.〔Valls F. Mapa armónico práctico.〕 ==Works== As with other Spanish Baroque composers, many works were lost in a fire at the royal archives. None of his music for ''autos sacramentales'' by Calderón survives.
