Doyagüe, claves de una leyenda
Abstract
Several nineteenth-century journals and periodicals contain different versions of a romantic legend surrounding the composer Manuel Doyagüe (1755-1842), the last chapelmaster of Salamanca’s Cathedral during the Ancien Régime. This is surprising, given that Doyagüe was an “obscure” priest, who hardly ever left provincial Salamanca and devoted his whole life to the composition of sacred music. The same sources also show that following his death, Doyagüe was a much-reputed composer and compared with prominent personalities from the arts and even literary heroes. No other chapelmaster in Doyagüe’s time received as many tributes.
This paper analyses the keys to the “Doyagüe legend” in the context of the social and political atmosphere of nineteenth-century Spain, as well as in Doyagüe’s ideology and works.
