De Joan Maragall I Enric Morera Haidé, núm. 1, 2012 p. 159-172 JOANA ESCOBEDO Biblioteca de Catalunya L'EMPORDÀ DE JOAN MARAGALL I ENRIC MORERA Resum: S’exposa en aquestes notes la gènesi de la sardana L’Empordà, amb lletra de Joan Maragall i música d’Enric Morera, a través d’un manuscrit autògraf de Maragall adreçat a Morera –darrerament adquirit per la Biblioteca de Catalunya– i de correspondència conservada a l’Arxiu Joan Maragall. La col·laboració entre poeta i músic, que s’eixampla a d’altres obres, permet d’entreveure com s’esdevé el procés de creació –literària i musical– dels dos autors. Paraules clau: poesia — epistolari — creació literària — Enric Morera — L’Empordà — música — sardanes Abstract: These notes discuss the genesis of the Sardana L’Empordà–with lyrics by Joan Maragall and set to music by Enric Morera–trough Maragall’s autograph manuscript sent to Morera, and recently acquired by the Library of Catalonia, and the correspondence de- posited at the Joan Maragall Archive. The collaboration between the poet and the composer, which extends to other works, sheds light on the literary-musical creative process of both authors. Key words: Poetry — Letters — Literary creativity — Enric Morera — L’Empordà — Music — Sardana Reproducció reduïda del manuscrit autògraf del poema de Joan Maragall enviat a Enric Morera Varia 159 Joana Escobedo. L'Empordà de Joan Maragall i Enric Morera Sense haver-ho predeterminat, l’«Any de la paraula viva» podrà gaudir d’un colofó bibliogràfic i do- cumental ben especial i, fins a cert punt, diríem, emblemàtic. Per un d’aquells atzars, la Biblioteca de Catalunya −a partir d’ara BC− ha tingut ocasió d’adquirir un text manuscrit del poema «L’Empordà» de Maragall, datat el 2 de maig de 1908, escrit en tinta negra en un full de paper esgrogueït pel temps, originàriament plegat per la meitat, de mida 210x265 mm, enganxat sobre un cartró ocre, emmarcat.1 Evidentment, no és un text inèdit,2 ni un manuscrit desconegut.3 Però és un original que havia servit de lletra d’una de les sardanes més populars del repertori sardanístic, estructurat en dues columnes que diferencien els curts dels llargs, amb profusió de signes de puntuació no sempre d’ús homogeni, que afegia esmenes al cos del redactat, una nota adreçada a un destinatari singular −el compositor Enric Morera,4 que en compondria la música−, i la signatura del poeta. Rere l’escrit, s’hi amagava tota una història, ara ja coneguda i publicada.5 Paral·lelament, s’esdevenia la donació a la BC de l’arxiu personal del músic. Enric Morera havia de compondre una sardana perquè la cantés la coral Amics Tintorers de Barcelona6 en un concert en homenatge a la Societat coral Erato de Figueres,7 com comenta la bibliografia. L’objec- tiu era ben precís; l’àmbit de projecció també. Pensà per a la lletra en Joan Maragall8 i li ho féu avinent en la carta datada el 25 d’abril del 1908.9 Feia així:10 Sitges 25 abril 1908 Estimat amic Maragall, El portador de la present, l’amic Muñoz,11 antic corista del «Catalunya Nova»12 i avui de la societat coral «Els Tintorers», d’acord amb tota la Societat, m’han demanat [que] els fes una sardana per a cor per estrenar-la a Figueres en una excursió que faran pròximament. Jo li he dit que sí, però, com que m’han dit que jo esculli el poeta, de seguida he pensat en V. Que no li agradarà fer-me una de les seves hermoses poesies per fer-hi jo la música? Jo en tinc moltes ganes, i fins desitjos d’anar de bracet13 amb V. encara que només siga amb una sardana, que la faré amb 1 Actualment, Ms. 9240 de la BC. Abans de prosseguir, voldria posar en relleu que, en redactar aquestes notes, m’he basat en els inventaris posats a l’abast del públic per la BC i per l’Arxiu Joan Maragall. 2 S’edità a Joan MARAGALL, Poesies, Barcelona: Gustau Gili, 1912-1913, vol. I, p. 197-198 (Obres completes d’en Joan Maragall. Sèrie catalana). 3 Se’n conservava còpia a l’Arxiu Joan Maragall (signatura: mrgll-Mss. 8-1-2-3). 4 Enric Morera i Viura (Barcelona 1865-1942), compositor, director i pedagog compromès amb l’ideari nacionalista i moder- nista, gran impulsor del cant coral. 5 Lluís SUBIRANA, «En el centenari de "L’Empordà", 1908-2008», Quaderns de les idees, les arts i les lletres, núm. 167, 2008, p. 28-29: vg. http://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/articulo?codigo=2868642. 6 Diu L. Subirana, op. cit., p. 29, nota 2: «Fundada a Barcelona el 6 de novembre de 1853. Se li va donar aquest nom com a record de l’ofici que tenien els seus fundadors. El seu primer director va ser Anselm Clavé que la va dirigir fins a 1857». 7 Aquesta societat celebra enguany els seus 150 anys. 8 Val a dir que la col·laboració de Maragall amb Morera comptava ja, en el camp de la música coral, com es veurà, amb altres obres. 9 A l’Arxiu JoanMaragall, com es diu a la pàgina web, es conserva correspondència de Joan Maragall i correspondència rebuda de 257 corresponsals seus. Entre elles, hi ha les cartes enviades per Morera a Maragall; en aquesta, demanant-li la lletra per a una sardana (Signatura: mrgll-Mss. 2-64-7). Les cartes d’Enric Morera són escrites sobre paper ratllat en quadrícula. 10 S’ha adequat l’ortografia a la norma actual a partir del criteri de fidelitat fonètica. S’ha respectat bàsicament, amb alguna excepció, el lèxic, la morfologia verbal i la sintaxi. S’ha adaptat la puntuació. Els afegitons han estat inclosos entre claudàtors. 11 Podria tractar-se d’Antoni Muñoz, soci fundador de Catalunya Nova segons l’acta de constitució de 30 de novembre de 1895, i vicepresident del primer Consell Directiu de l’entitat; cf. Roger ALIER,«La societat coral "Catalunya Nova"», D’Art , núm. 2, 1973, p. 60; vg. http://www.raco.cat/index.php/Dart/article/view/99743. 12 Coral fundada per Enric Morera el juliol de 1895; cf. R. ALIER, op. cit., p. 61. 13 brasset: subratllat a l’original. 160 Haidé, núm. 1, 2012 p. 159-172 tot el carinyo per dugues raons: la de col·laborar amb V. i per ésser estrenada i quasi dedicada a aquella hermosa terra de l’Empordà. Oi que ho farà? I oi que ho farà aviat? Moltes gràcies de part dels bons coristes «Els Tintorers» i del seu invariable amic i fervent admirador. E. Morera Com es desprèn de la carta de Morera que es transcriu a continuació, Maragall devia considerar que primer s’havia de compondre la música per, després, incorporar-hi el text; davant, però, de la insistència del músic, amb data del 29 d’abril,14 accedí als seus desigs: Estimat amic Maragall, Estic molt content de veure que em fareu els versos per [a] la sardana, sols que no puc complaure-us amb lo que em demaneu. Justament jo espero els vostres deliciosos versos per inspirar-m’hi tant com puga essent- me impossible fer la música sense la vostra lletra. No us amoïni gens el ritme, que jo ja faré la música per [a] la vostra lletra. La dimensió pot ésser més o menys com la [de] Per tu ploro d’en Ventura15, i jo ja m’arreglaré. De totes maneres als llargs em sembla [que] fóra millor [que] el ritme fos diferent i, si us sembla, que entremig dels curts i dels llargs que hi hagi també algun vers més o menys curt o llarg, també fóra millor per donar més varietat de ritmes a la música. Feu-ho com vulgueu, que ja sé que estarà molt bé. Sols us dic que tinc moltes ganes de fer-la. M’agrada molt fer sardanes, però, aquesta, la desitjo. Vostre bon amic i admirador. E. Morera Sitges, 29 abril 1908 Maragall no només acceptà: la resposta en forma de poema arribaria tres dies més tard, el 2 de maig, amb l’escrit ara tot just adquirit per la BC. Si bé el document adquirit, que anomenarem A, serveix com a exemplificació de la relació dels dos per- sonatges, l’Arxiu Joan Maragall conserva en els seus fons un altre manuscrit del poema, autògraf també de Maragall, a partir d’ara anomenat B.16 En aquest cas, el text comença al verso de la coberta de l’obra de Josep Serra17 Records de ma terra. Sardana per a piano −Barcelona: Juan Ayné, 1907−, coberta que destaca que l’obra és dedicada «a l’eminent poeta En Joan Maragall». A la part superior, en llapis i de mà de Maragall, s’hi pot llegir, manuscrit, el títol del poema escrit a l’interior. 14 Signatura: mrgll-Mss. 2-64-8. Carta editada a: L. Subirana, op. cit., p. 29, nota 3. 15 El músic i compositor Josep Maria Ventura i Casas (Alcalá la Real 1817- Figueres 1875), més conegut com a Pep Ventura, transcrigué tonades populars, com El cant dels ocells, i en donà de primitives com Per tu ploro. En un moment d’innovació de la sar- dana, de la qual fou protagonista, en deixà escrites nombroses, llargues i curtes. També fou autor de força composicions corals. 16 Signatura: mrgll-Mss. 8-1-1-5. Anomenem A el primer document per tal com ha estat l’impulsor d’aquestes notes. A i B no responen a la data d’escriptura dels textos. 17 El músic Josep Serra i Bonal (Peralada 1874 - Barcelona 1939), compositor vinculat al món de les cobles, és autor de nombroses sardanes.

  • Catalan Modernism and Vexillology
    Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Sebastià Herreros i Agüí Abstract Modernism (Modern Style, Modernisme, or Art Nouveau) was an artistic and cultural movement which flourished in Europe roughly between 1880 and 1915. In Catalonia, because this era coincided with movements for autonomy and independence and the growth of a rich bourgeoisie, Modernism developed in a special way. Differing from the form in other countries, in Catalonia works in the Modern Style included many symbolic elements reflecting the Catalan nationalism of their creators. This paper, which follows Wladyslaw Serwatowski’s 20 ICV presentation on Antoni Gaudí as a vexillographer, studies other Modernist artists and their flag-related works. Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Llimona, Miquel Blay, Alexandre de Riquer, Apel·les Mestres, Antoni Maria Gallissà, Joan Maragall, Josep Maria Jujol, Lluís Masriera, Lluís Millet, and others were masters in many artistic disciplines: Architecture, Sculpture, Jewelry, Poetry, Music, Sigillography, Bookplates, etc. and also, perhaps unconsciously, Vexillography. This paper highlights several flags and banners of unusual quality and national significance: Unió Catalanista, Sant Lluc, CADCI, Catalans d’Amèrica, Ripoll, Orfeó Català, Esbart Català de Dansaires, and some gonfalons and flags from choral groups and sometent (armed civil groups).

  • ¿Granados No Es Un Gran Maestro? Análisis Del Discurso Historiográfico Sobre El Compositor Y El Canon Nacionalista Español
    ¿Granados no es un gran maestro? Análisis del discurso historiográfico sobre el compositor y el canon nacionalista español MIRIAM PERANDONES Universidad de Oviedo Resumen Enrique Granados (1867-1916) es uno de los tres compositores que conforman el canon del Nacionalismo español junto a Manuel de Falla (1876- 1946) e Isaac Albéniz (1860-1909) y, sin embargo, este músico suele quedar a la sombra de sus compatriotas en los discursos históricos. Además, Granados también está fuera del “trío fundacional” del Nacionalismo formado por Felip Pedrell (1841-1922) —considerado el maestro de los tres compositores nacionalistas, y, en consecuencia, el “padre” del nacionalismo español—Albéniz y Falla. En consecuencia, uno de los objetivos de este trabajo es discernir por qué Granados aparece en un lugar secundario en la historiografía española, y cómo y en base a qué premisas se conformó este canon musical. Palabras clave: Enrique Granados, canon, Nacionalismo, historiografia musical. Abstract Enrique Granados (1867-1916) is one of the three composers Who comprise the canon of Spanish nationalism, along With Manuel de Falla (1876-1946) and Isaac Albéniz (1860-1909). HoWeVer, in the realm of historical discourse, Granados has remained in the shadoW of his compatriots. MoreoVer, Granados lies outside the “foundational trio” of nationalism, formed by Felip Pedrell (1841-1922)— considered the teacher of the three nationalist composer and, as a consequence, the “father” of Spanish nationalism—Albéniz y Falla. Therefore, one of the objectiVes of this study is to discern why Granados occupies a secondary position in Spanish historiography, and most importantly, for What reasons the musical canon eVolVed as it did.

  • The Existential Landscape. on the Geographical Value of the Work of Joan Maragall
    Boletín de la A.G.E. N.º 51 - 2009, págs. 401-404 THE EXISTENTIAL LANDSCAPE. ON THE GEOGRAPHICAL VALUE OF THE WORK OF JOAN MARAGALL Joan Tort i Donada Universitat de Barcelona ON THE IDEAS AND THE THOUGHT OF JOAN MARAGALL A key figure in the Catalan arts, Joan Maragall i Gorina, worked in many registers as poet, journalist, essayist and translator and displayed a prodigious intellect that incorporated successfully, and within the context of his age, the widely differing and complex geographical scales of Europe, Spain and Catalonia. Maragall, a member of the generation of Modernisme (albeit that his inclusion within the Catalan artistic movement has been qualified in a number of senses, see Terry, 2000; Marfany, 1976), worked predominantly in the creative production of poetry. A body of work in which the critics (Fuster, 1976) find significant reflections of Goethe, of Novalis and of Nietzsche –authors whom he translated, as he also translated Homer. Any present-day interpretation and appraisal of the hugely significant, complex intellectual figure of Joan Maragall necessarily requires a consideration of the context of the age in which he lived and worked (that is, the last four decades of the nineteenth century and the first of the twentieth). Maragall was, moreover, a multifaceted author of an immense curiosity and a very broad range of interests, which means that if we examine him solely in terms of the facet of his literary (and, specifically his poetic) output, we run the risk of oversimplifying our subject. Furthermore, his position as a Catalan intellectual who tackled, both directly and openly and in a manner that was firmly founded on dialogue, the age-old problem of the relationship of Catalonia with Spain makes him an author of great importance when dealing with this question –and not only, I believe, from a historical perspective.

  • RUSIÑOL (Barcelona 1861 - Aranjuez 1931)
    - RUSINOL English Cover - Stately Garden. Raixa II (Majorca, 1902, private collection) SANTIAGO RUSIÑOL (Barcelona 1861 - Aranjuez 1931) The leader of the Modernist movement Santiago Rusiñol was the eldest son of a family of textile manufacturers with a factory in Manlleu and an office on Carrer de la Princesa in Barcelona. At the age of twenty- eight, when he was married with one daughter, he decided to turn his back on middle class life and become a professional painter. The atmosphere created by the Barcelona Universal Exposition of 1888 prompted him, the following year, to set off for Paris. There he took up a Bohemian lifestyle, first in Montmartre and then on the Île Saint-Louis, where he moved in 1895. Rusiñol immersed himself in the intellectual and artistic circles of the city that was then the epitome of modernity and played a key role in importing the new trends into Catalonia and Spain. Towards the close of the century, he frequented the Académie de la Palette, where Pierre Puvis de Chavannes worked, met the musician Erik Satie, became an habitué of Le Chat Noir and Le Mirliton alongside Toulouse- Lautrec, saw Maeterlinck's plays, attended performances at the Théâtre de l'Œuvre and Antoine's Théâtre-Libre, and Reciprocal Portraits (Santiago Rusiñol and Ramon Casas) (c. 1890, Cau Ferrat) observed the new advertising techniques – posters, cafés and newspapers. Rusiñol assimilated all the new aesthetic trends that were emerging in Europe in the wake of the crisis of Positivism and Realism – notably the Decadent facet of Symbolism – and made his own personal interpretation of Zola's Naturalism.

  • Transforming Barcelona: the Renewal of a European Metropolis/Edited by Tim Marshall
    Transforming Barcelona Barcelona is perhaps the European city that has become most renowned for successfully “remaking” itself in the last 20 years. This image has been spread cumulatively around the world by books, television and internet sites, as well as by films and the use of the city in advertisements. This book is about the reality behind that image. It describes how the governors, professional planners and architects, and, in a wider sense, the people of the city and of Catalonia brought about the succession of changes which began around 1980. Transforming Barcelona is made up of chapters by those involved in the changes and by local experts who have been observing the changes year by year. Particular emphasis is placed on the political leadership and on the role of professionals, especially architects, in catalysing and implementing urban change. Other chapters look closely at the way that the treatment of public space became a key ingredient of what has been termed the “Barcelona model”. Critiques of this model consider from two different perspectives — environmental and cultural — how far the generally acclaimed successes stand up to full analysis. The book is fully illustrated and contains an up-to-date bibliography of writings on the city in English. This book will be of particular interest to those studying or practising in the fields of urban regeneration, urban design and urban geography, as well as all those fascinated by the multiple dimensions of the current transformation of older cities. No other book is available in English that provides such extensive understanding of Barcelona from authoritative local participants and observers.
