Until 1248 Sevilla was a Moorish town with a high musical tradition; it was a centre of instrument making. After that the Alcázar became a royal castle. King Alfonso X died here in 1284. The Alcázar is the location of two operas by Donizetti: La Favorita and Maria Padilla. The latter was the mistress of Pedro I (14th c.) and had an apartment here (now: Cuartos de María de Padilla).

The building of the cathedral started in May 1492, just after the capture of the city from the Moors. Here and in the adjacent Capilla Real soon opulent church music flourished. From the two organs by Francisco Fernández Dávila (1746-49) only the imposing cases are extant. Important musicians from Granada are Luis and Andrés de Narváez, 16th c. vihuela players and -composers.

Few records survive of the refined musical culture at the Moorish court, probably equivalent to its artistic splendor. After 1492 it was continued in Morocco. Near the 14th century Puerto del Vino , a plaque reminds of the piano piece of that name by Debussy - and of his Soirée de Grenade and Ibéria.

Catedral Nueva
In 1785 Joseph Haydn got a commission from a aristocratic prelate of Cadiz to compose orchestral music to accompany the Lent ceremonies in the underground chapel (Capilla de la Passión) of this oratory. In February 1786 Die sieben letzten Worte unseres Erlösers am Kreuze (the seven last words by our crucified saviour) sounded here for the first time. The composition was soon admired all over Europe; Haydn made an arrangement for string quartet and later also a vocal version.

Beneath the choir of the cathedral is the grave of Juan del Encina, 1530. He was born in Salamanca in 1568 as Juan de Fermoselle, studied law at the university, but grew into a writer of edifying plays (representaciones) and a poet and composer of numerous songs, mostly villancicos. He was singer in the cathedral and worked at the castle of Alba de Tormes (20 km southeast of S.; only a single donjon is extant). In 1498 he left Salamanca, having failed to obtain a permanent post, and went to Italy. From 1521 onwards he lived in León. Encina‘s works were very popular; his songs form a great deal of the Cancionero de Palacio (< 0101).
