Other names

Dates

doc. 1484-1503

Notes

He is first recorded in 1484 as a singer and music teacher at Burgos Cathedral. Later on, he was also a singer in Ávila (1487), León (1494), and Valencia (October 1502-March 1503). The brief appointment of one 'Sanabria' at Murcia Cathedral in September 1502 is probably referring to the composer. In Valencia, he was also known as a theorist, as per a marginalia at Guillem de Podio's Enchiridion de principiis musice discipline (I-Bc Ms. A.71).

It was suggested that 'Juan Rodríguez de la Torre' could be another name for Rodríguez de Sanabria, but Villanueva Serrano (2017) has proved that not to be the case.
