Johannes [Juan] Sanchez [ Sanches, Sances, de Tineo] {Clement VII-Paul IV}
Tenor; Seville; earliest reference, supplication list of [ 1525 - 1526 ]; receipt lists of [ 1525 - 1526 ] and December 1526 ; mandati : August-September 1529 , April 1530 -December 1539 , August 1542 -March 1558 ; unpublished beneficial documents: RV 1348, fols. 12v-14v: bull dated 3 September 1531; had died outside of Rome by 27 October 1572 ; punctator in 1552 .
Sanchez's service to the choir was interrupted first by the Sack of Rome (he is said to be "nuper remissus" in the mandati list of August 1529 ) and second by his own intemperate actions. On 9 January 1540 , Sanchez struck Ghisilin Dankerts, the punctator, during Mass in the Sistine Chapel in the presence of the Host; on 17 January, he was in prison because of the scandal he had caused and the singers sent Pedro Ordòñes to the pope in Corneto to negotiate in his behalf; on 25 January, Sanchez was stricken from the list of papal singers by papal order; but on 3 August, 1542 , he was readmitted to the choir, but without seniority (he appears at the bottom of the list).
