Francisco Javier García Fajer ''El Españoleto'' (Nalda, Logroño 2 December 1730 - Zaragoza 1809) was a Spanish composer of the Italianate galante school.〔Biography in Craig H. Russell ''From Serra to Sancho: Music and Pageantry in the California Missions'' p.350〕〔New Grove 2001 p258〕 He studied at the choir school at Zaragoza Cathedral. As a young man he moved to Italy, where he was chapelmaster of the see of Terni 1754-56 and gained his Italian epiphet ''Lo Spagnoletto'', which he retained even back in Spain as ''El Españoleto''. The Italian musical environment during the 1750s was characterised by composers on the threshold between galante and early classical such as Niccolò Jommelli and Giovanni Battista Pergolesi. García Fajer returned home as ''maestro de capilla'' of la Seo in Zaragoza 1756 till his death during the French siege of Zaragoza in 1809. As part of his Italianate reforms the Spanish villancico was supplanted by the Latin responsory.〔Moreno 1985 p.197, cited in ''El último villancico barroco valenciano'' by José Luis Palacios Garoz p.35〕 García Fajer was out of favour for many years in Spain due to his promotion of Italianate musical idiom, however in recent years he has been rehabilitated and taken on his own merits as a galante composer. A conference dedicated to rehabilitation of his reputation and work was held at the University of La Rioja, Spain, in April 2007.〔Beatriz Montes Francisco J.
