MUSIC IN SPAIN SINCE THE NINETEENTH CENTURY

Between the sixteenth and nineteenth century history of Spanish music creators did not provide relevant. In such a long period of time can only be mentioned organists Arauxo Francisco Correa (1584 - 1654), Gaspar Sanz (1640 - 1710), John caballines (1644 - 1712) and harpsichordist Antonio Soler (1729 - 1783). But the arrival on the European scene of Richard Wagner (1813-1883) was influential to other musicians devoted to the search for indigenous sources for their creations.

This was the case of Catalan Felipe Pedrell (1841-1922), who introduced the music of Wagner in Spain and dedicated to the collection of popular songbooks, thus laying the groundwork for the formation of a Spanish musical nationalism. After centuries of Spanish music joined a European mainstream, modernized through its own tradition.

Pedrell had two direct disciples, the Catalans also Abéniz Isaac (1860 - 1909) and Enrique Granados (1867-1916), likewise influenced the Cadiz Manuel de Falla (1876 - 1946) who got interested in the flamenco and cante jondo .

Joaquín Turina

These four musicians maintained a strong sense of belonging to the same generation, both from their common goal of promoting music with Spanish roots, and from the level of personal friendship.

Last but not linked to the figure of Pedrell, you must mention another star of this period in the history of Spanish music: the Seville Joaquin Turina (1882 -1949). This would be the fourth member of this generation of composers who would follow the nationalist school originated by Wagner in Germany and distributed in Spain by Pedrell.

FOLKLORE IN SPAIN

The history of Spain and the cultures that have lived has left many traces in culture and folklore. Thus, the Spanish culture is influenced Iberian, Celtic, Roman, Catholic and Muslim. The role of geographical location and historical tensions between Castile and peripheral regions have also helped define the culture and traditions of Spain. Given the cultural diversity can not speak of a Spanish musical folklore.
