2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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 .
Enrique Joaquín Turina
Isaac Albéniz
Granados
5. 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
Joaquín Turina
Wagner in Germany
and distributed in
Spain by Pedrell.
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.
7. 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.
Therefore, here we name some communities more
characteristic folklore, including the folklore of the
Canary Islands, where we will stop in more detail.
