De Lugares e Órganos 2025: Memoria silente: A Terceira Orde, lugar de memoria da organaría galega.

The route will take us from the cemetery of the Brotherhood of the Rosary to the Third Order, where great figures of Galician organ building were buried.

In one of the moments of maximum splendour of Iberian organ building, at the beginning of the 18th century, Eugenio González de Cáceres settled in Compostela, an organist who would be the beginning of an important and long family saga. Father, sons and grandson would be organists in the Cathedral for a century and would also carry out commissions all over Galicia. As members of the city's petty bourgeoisie elite, they would be members of the Third Order and, as such, three of them would be buried in its church. The same happened later, in the second half of the 19th century, with the last of the Cathedral's organists, Mariano Tafall. However, due to a recent discovery that will be revealed during the tour itself, we will begin the day in the cemetery of the Brotherhood of the Rosary, next to the convent of San Domingos de Bonaval.

The tour will end with a short recital by Alejandra Docente (spinet), who will perform pieces that will set the musical atmosphere of the period in which the work of these craftsmen was carried out.
