Nineteenth century Spanish sacred music? It is remarkable that there was any sacred music at all when one reviews the political vicissitudes of 19th century Spain. In 1808, Napoleonic troops crossed the Pyrenees - the French emperor had decided to annex the Iberian Peninsula - and the Spanish people rose up in arms to defend their country. For the music chapels of Spanish churches and cathedrals, the conflict amounted to a complete disaster: the French seized temples, relics and works of art, imposed substantial ecclesiastical tributes, dismantled music chapels, reduced the number of convents by a third, and the king, José I, went so far as to suppress all male religious orders (these subsequently reappeared later in the century).
