Felipe Pedrell

(b Tortosa, 19 Feb 1841; d Barcelona, 19 Aug 1922). Spanish composer and musicologist.

His publications include the complete works of Victoria, a biographical series on Catalan musicians, a dictionary of Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American musicians and a critical reassessment of Spanish popular song. The creator of modern Spanish musicology, he contributed greatly to the revival of interest in church music in Spain.
