Abstract

The choir of the Cathedral of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has a fascinating history. This is due to the fact that members are of a range of nationalities and the Cathedral itself is in a strategic geographic location, well linked to America. Diego Duron de Ortega was one of the most emblematic and long-standing chapel masters and knew how to deal with the particular challenges of the Cathedral. In this research, we set out a brief summary of the Cathedral of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and its link to the figure of Diego Duron de Ortega, as well as a short study on the hallmarks of his liturgical production in the archives of the Cathedral.
