Biography
Martín y Coll grew up in a monastery and eventually became a Franciscan friar. The last years of his life were spent in the monastery
of San Francisco el Grandein Madrid. He probably died there after 1733 and before 1735.

Works
Though primarily an organist, Martín y Coll also wrote a pair of treatises (1714 and 1734). However, his modern fame rests on four
volumes of the Flores de Música (Musical flowers), a compilation of hundreds of keyboard pieces, nearly all of them without an
author. Since the pieces were probably famous at the time of the compilation, listeners would have known the composer. Modern
scholarship has been able to attribute a large number of the works to composers such as Corelli, Handel, Frescobaldi, Cabanilles, and
Cabezón.

The fifth volume of the Flores de Música, called Ramillete oloroso: suabes flores de música para órgano, contains mostly organ
music (as the title indicates). The works in this volume are generally assumed to be Martín y Coll's own compositions. Two of these
works are variations onLa Folia, a long Diferencias sobre las Folías and a shorter Folías.
