Juan José Landaeta

Juan José Landaeta ( born March 10, 1780 in Caracas, † October 16, 1814 in Valencia) was a Venezuelan composer.

Life

Landaeta appeared as a child in the school of music of Padre Sojo, where he was a pupil of Juan Manuel Olivares. Later he worked at various churches of Caracas as a violinist and music director. He belonged in 1810 to the revolutionaries who fought for the independence of Venezuela from Spain. In 1811 he founded the Concert Society Certamen de Música Vocal e Instrumental.

After the fall of the First Republic, he was in prison, from which he was liberated by the conquest of Caracas by Simon Bolivar. He joined this, but fell into the hands of José Tomás Boves, who had him executed.

1810 should Landaeta the melody to the song Gloria al bravo pueblo ( Glory to the brave people ) by Vicente Saria have composed (according to other traditions of Andrés Bello ), which was declared in 1881 by General Antonio Guzmán Blanco to the Venezuelan national anthem. Its authorship is disputed, it also comes Lino Gallardo as a composer in question.
