A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Cardoso, Manuel

by Mary Catherine Hamilton

CARDOSO, Manuel, a Spanish priest, born at Fronteira 1569; entered the Carmelite order at Lisbon 1588, and became its sub-prior and chapel-master, and a great favourite of King John IV. His works are exclusively for the church. Several are said to have been published, but only one is quoted, 'Livro … na Semana Santa,' Lisbon 1048. Two motets are given by Proske in the 'Musica Divina,' ii. Nos. 5 and 33.
