life and work
Magalhães was a student of Father Manuel Mendes as a choirboy at Évora Cathedral . The polyphonists Duarte Lobo and Manuel Cardoso were fellow students of Magalhães there. Towards the end of the century Magalhães succeeded his teacher Manuel Mendes as director of the choirboys. Later he went to Lisbon as a member of the choir of the Royal Chapel and was Kapellmeister of the Royal Chapel from March 1623 to 1641. In Évora Magalhães had taught Estevão de Brito , Esteban López Morago and Manuel Correia , who later continued the school of Évora.
Magalhães composed sacred works for the liturgy in a polyphonic style. Magalhães published the book Cantus ecclesiasticus with Gregorian chants (cantus planus, Lisbon 1614 and other editions), an office of the dead, a book with four- and five-part masses (Lisbon 1631) and a Magnificat (Lisbon 1636).
