Torres was a Roman Catholic priest, who was choirmaster at Seville Cathedral (the third-largest church in the world).[1][2]


Life


Torres was born in Albaida, Valencia, and studied under Giner.[2] In 1895, he became a choirmaster in Tortosa.[2] He moved to Seville in 1910, and remained there until his death in 1934. During this time, he composed prolifically.[2] He was also involved with two orchestras in Seville: he founded the city's Orquesta Sinfónica, which only had a short existence, and he directed the Orquesta Bética de Cámera.[2]


Music


His most well-known work is his Saetas, a collection of organ pieces based on Andalusian folk songs. Of his other output, both Motetes al Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, and Ofertorio y plegaria were singled out as "outstanding" by music historian Tomás Marco.[2]


Recordings and reviews


Torres' music, while not widely known today, has been played on several classical music compact discs. His Saeta number four was reviewed by Gramophone.[1] His Berceuse was played at Adlington Hall, in Macclesfield, Cheshire, and was added to the CD of organ music by organist Anne Page.[3] Esteban Elizondo-Iriarte also played Berceuse for his CD of organ music at played at St. Peter's church, in Bergara, Spain.[4]
