José Marín

José Marín (1619–1699) was a Spanish Baroque composer and guitarist. He is known for his secular songs, or "tonos humanos," which were popular during the 17th century. Marín's music often reflects the dramatic and expressive qualities of the Baroque period, with a particular focus on the human voice. His compositions include solo songs accompanied by instruments such as the guitar or harpsichord, and his works are characterized by their emotional depth and melodic beauty. Despite being a recognized composer of his time, details about his life are not as well documented as those of some of his contemporaries. However, his music has been revived in modern times and is appreciated for its contribution to the Spanish Baroque repertoire.
