Sebastián Durón (christened on 19 April 1660 – 3 August 1716)〔(French National Library )〕 was a Spanish composer.〔Grove G. Sadie S. The New Grove dictionary of music and musicians. 1927 p119, 1980 p751, 1992 p1286〕 ==Life and career== Sebastián Durón was, with Antonio de Literes, the greatest Spanish composer of stage music of his time. He was born in Brihuega, Guadalajara, Spain, and was taught by his brother Diego Durón, also a composer. Sebastian served as organist and choirmaster at various cathedrals (Seville, Cuenca, El Burgo de Osma, Plasencia) until in 1691 he was appointed master of the Royal Chapel of King Charles II in Madrid. He remained in this position until 1706, when he was suspended because of expressing support for Archduke Charles of Austria during the War of Spanish Succession, which ended with the victory of Bourbon King Philip V. Durón was forced into exile in France, from where he returned briefly in 1714 to serve as a musician to the Dukes of Osuna. In 1715 he returned permanently to Bayonne, France as chaplain to the exiled queen Mariana of Neuburg, the widow of Charles II, to whom he officiated in her scandalous remarriage to the son of a barrel-maker. He died in 1716 of tuberculosis at Cambo-les-Bains, Aquitaine, France. Although Durón composed many sacred pieces, and these and his ''villancicos'' were taken to the New World,〔Stevenson R.M. Christmas music from baroque México 1974 Page 43〕 his main influence was in the ''zarzuela.''〔Hart, Gordon Quenton A study and edition of the zarzuela ''Las nuevas armas de amor'' 1974〕〔Esses Maurice Dance and Instrumental Diferencias in Spain During the 17th and Early 18th Century 1993 p266〕〔Wiberg Janice Lane "Opera Scenica, deduzida de la Guerra de los Jigantes" by Sebastian Duron University Microfilms International, Stadtbibliothek Nürnberg 1997〕〔Grout Donald Jay A short history of opera 2003 p549〕 Father Benito Jerónimo Feijoo (1676–1764) criticised Durón, compared to Literes, for the worldliness of his compositions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sebastián Durón」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
