In Spain, during the 20th century, the figure of the professional church composer (attached to a music chapel and frequently acting as teacher, organist and singer) gradually disappeared. Subsequently every personal effort to write quality sacred music was an islet in the ocean of amateur or, even worse, canned music. Although looted and set ablaze by Napoleon's troops, the Benedictine monastery of Montserrat in Catalonia had been a haven of religious creation and performance since the 11th century. Many composers conceived music for Montserrat: cellist Pau Casals (1876-1973), Frederic Mompou (1893-1987) and Joaquin Homs (1906), three of an illustrious string of 20th century Catalans, notably including Xavier Montsalvatge (1912-2002)
