:''For the native American painter (b. 1966) see Mateo Romero (artist).'' Mateo Romero (ca. 1575 – 1647) was a Belgian-born Spanish composer of Baroque music and master of the royal chapel.〔Julie Anne Sadie Companion to baroque music 1998 p341〕〔Sir George Grove, Stanley Sadie, John Tyrrell The new Grove dictionary of music and musicians Volume 21 2001 p639〕〔Paul Henry Lang Music in Western civilization 1997 p425〕〔Tim Carter, John Butt The Cambridge history of seventeenth-century music 2005 p299〕 Romero was born as Mathieu Rosmarin in Liège, Belgium, and, following the early death of his father was, like many children from the then-Spanish Netherlands, recruited as a child to serve as a choir boy at the Madrid court. Between 1586 and 1593 he was taught in Spain by his countrymen George de la Hèle and Philippe Rogier. He took the name Romero in 1594. In 1598 he was ''maestro de capilla''〔Juan José Carreras, Bernardo José García García The Royal Chapel in the time of the Habsburgs: music and ceremony in early ... 2005 p192〕 at the Spanish court of Philip II of Spain and Philip III of Spain. He remained in this position till 1634. In 1609 he was ordained a priest and was private chaplain to Philipp III. He was also secretary of the Order of the Golden Fleece. After the death of Philip, he was also chaplain to King John IV of Portugal. Romero was one of the most appreciated composers of his time; he was known as "El Maestro Capitan". His service extended over the threshold of two musical eras, the Renaissance and Baroque. Although he was not part of the polyphonic school of the great Franco-Flemish school,〔Ignace Bossuyt Flemish polyphony 1994 p150〕 he played an important role in the introduction of Italian ''stile moderno'' in Spain. ==Works== Most of his works, which were stored in the Royal Library in Lisbon, were destroyed in the Lisbon earthquake of 1755.〔Paul R.
