His main works were published in Venice and in Prague, a city he had visited several times. In Venice he published Il 1.° libro de madrigali a 4 et 5 (1568, "The First Book of Madrigals at 4/5 voices"), a collection of 31 madrigals.[3][4] In Prague he printed, in 1581, three polyphonic music books: Libro de música de punto, in four volumes but lost, Divinarum completarum psalmi, incomplete, and Las ensaladas, dedicated to Giovanni Borgia. This latest collection contains eight ensaladas from Flecha the Elder, three from himself, two from, one from Bartomeu Càrceres and one from Xacón. In 1593 he published in Prague a poetic book on the death of Elisabeth of Austria, Queen of France. Two notable works of his, preserved in manuscript form, are Harmonia a 5, for five string instruments, and a Miserere at 4 voices.[5] In 1599 Philip III of Castile appointed him Abbot of the Portella Monastery, where he retired.
