Fray José de Vaquedano (Puente la Reina, 20 March 1642 - 17 February 1711 in Santiago de Compostela) was a Spanish composer and priest of the Trinitarian Order. He was named maestro de capilla at Santiago Cathedral in October 1680.[1] His surviving works included various pieces of polychoral sacred music and around 47 villancicos, of which 26 celebrate the Feast of Saint James.[2]
