Pedro Muñoz Pedrera (1865-1925) was a musician born in Murcia, Spain. He began his musical education with Julian Calvo, composer and organist of the cathedral of Murcia. Later he traveled to Madrid to study the career trajectory of music and composition in the Royal Conservatory of the Spanish capital. There he became an outstanding student of José Tragó and Dámaso Zabalza. He was professor of music at the Casino of Murcia and at the Academia Fernández Caballero. The Murcian press reports that he began his professional career offering his services as a music teacher to the young people of the city, which earned him the nickname of "Maestro Pedrera" (Master Pedrera). He was a solfeggio and piano teacher in the newly created Conservatory of Music in Murcia, founded in 1918. From 1920 he directed the sextet "Muñoz Pedrera" and was a highly recognized figure among the cultural circles of the associations of the city of Murcia in the first decades of the 20th century.

His music collection is property of the Municipal Archives of Murcia (E-MUam; [RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?View=rism&siglum=E-MUam){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/institutions/30079676){:blank}, after a donation by his relatives. It is composed of eleven manuscript pieces of musical theater genres such as zarzuela, revista musical, lyrical comedy and some loose scores pending identification. Three of them have already been added to the RISM database: _Murcia mercantil_ (1889), _Andando por Murcia_ (1902) and _El Predicador_ (1903). The works set in Murcia offer an interesting critical view of the local society of the time. The rest of the compositions from this collection will be added soon in collaboration with the Department of Musicology and Musical Research of the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Murcia.
