    Pictures at an Exhibition 2018 Concierto de Aranjuez for Guitar and Orchestra (1939) JOAQUÍN RODRIGO ■ 1901-1999 Though Joaquín Rodrigo, born on November 22, 1901 at Sagunto, Valencia, on Spain’s eastern coast, lost his sight when he was three from diphtheria, he early showed a pronounced aptitude for music. His parents enrolled him in a school for blind children in the nearby city of Valencia, and at age eight, he began formal lessons in harmony, piano and violin; his teachers in composition included Francisco Antich, Enrique Gomá and Eduardo López Chavarri. During the 1920s, Rodrigo established himself as a pianist with performances of challenging recent works by Ravel, Stravinsky and other contemporary composers, and he began composing seriously in 1923 with the Suite para Piano and the Dos Esbozos (“Two Sketches”) for Violin and Piano. His first work for orchestra, Juglares (written, like all of his scores, on a Braille music typewriter and then dictated to a copyist), was played in both Valencia and Madrid in 1924; his Cinco Piezas Infantiles, also for orchestra, won a National Prize the following year. In 1927, he followed the path of his compatriots Albéniz, Granados, Falla and Turina, and moved to Paris, where he enrolled at the Schola Cantorum as a pupil of Paul Dukas. Rodrigo immersed himself in the musical life of the city, befriending Honegger, Milhaud, Ravel and other Parisian luminaries, receiving encouragement from Falla, and enjoying success with a performance of his orchestral Prelude for a Poem to the Alhambra, whose subject matter and distinctly Spanish idiom established the style that consistently characterized his creations.

  • Joaquín Rodrigo [Concierto Especial 7]
    FUNDACIÓN JUAN MARCH Homenaje a Joaquín Rodrigo [Concierto Especial 7] 9 de diciembre de 1981 Fotocomposición: Induphoto, S. A. Titania, 21. Madrid Imprime: Royper J. Camanllo. 53-bis. Madrid HOMENAJE A JOAQUIN RODRIGO 3 Joaquín Rodrigo en 1921 Al cumplir el pasado 22 de noviembre 80 años, Joaquín Rodrigo traspasaba en vida y en activo (y ojalá que por mucho tiempo) una barrera difícil y al mismo tiempo gloriosa. La Fundación Juan March desea en estas fechas jubilares unir su voz a los homenajes que su ciudad natal, Sagunto, y la Orquesta Nacional acaban de ofrecerle y reunir a su alrededor, en torno a su música y con la palabra de su primer biógrafo, no sólo a los amigos y admiradores de siempre, sino al público universitario que ya no puede escucharle allí donde tantos años desarrolló su labor: en la Cátedra Manuel de Falla de la Universidad Complutense. Además de unos datos bibliográficos que esperamos sean útiles, especialmente el catálogo actualizado de su obra, hemos editado, gracias a la generosidad de Maribel Falla y José María García de Paredes, el epistolario que Falla y Rodrigo cruzaron entre 1928 y 1938. Al editar esta documentación inédita esperamos haber facilitado a los estudiosos de ambos compositores y a quienes se interesan por el ambiente cultural de aquella década algunas claves para su mejor comprensión. 5 PROGRAMA 9 de diciembre de 1981. 19,30 horas I.

    Pictures at an Exhibition 2018 Adult Category Winners Jorge Sosa Artwork: Hans Moller, Sunrise In Sunrise I tried to covey the vibrancy of colors, the stillness, and vastness, portrayed in Moller’s painting. I find great beauty in nature’s every day drama. The natural processes that unfold with grace, and violence, as in a stage work. I wrote most of the music while traveling in Puerto Rico. The beauty of the Island’s sunrises as they lit the Caribbean ocean were an important source of inspiration.” Jorge Sosa is a Mexican-born composer and Associate Professor of Music at Molloy College. Jorge has recently been commissioned to write his second opera, Monkey with librettist Cerise Jacobs. Monkey is scheduled for workshop performances in Boston during the fall 2018 season. Jorge’s first full-length opera, La Reina, commissioned by the American Lyric Theater (ALT), and was performed in a concert version as part of the 2016 “Prototype” festival in NY. Jorge has been composer in residence with the NYUNME during the 2015-2016 concert season collaborating on several projects with the group. Jorge was a guest artist at the Difrazzione Festival in Florence in 2017 premiering the works Longing and Distorted Reality. In 2016 his piece Domino Effect for Alto Sax and String Orchestra was selected for the closing of the Foro Internacional de Música Nueva in Mexico City. This season Jorge will be a guest artist at the Southern Alabama University, and will be presenting his work at the Society for Electroacoustic Music in the United States (SEAMUS) National Conference, and the New York City Electronic Music Festival.

  • Joaquín Rodrigo, Músico De Sutilezas / Andrés Ruiz Tarazona
    Joaquín Rodrigo, músico de sutilezas Andrés Ruiz Tarazona Introducción Hemos llegado al primer centenario del nacimiento de Joaquín Rodrigo y casi parece que nos lo vamos a encontrar por la calle, en algún homena­ je o concierto en su honor. Rodrigo ha fallecido hace poco más de dos años, el 7 de julio de 1999. Es ya, por tanto, una figura histórica, pero todavía hay gente de nuestro mundillo que le sigue negando el pan y la sal de un talento y una finura artística de la que han dado muestra muy pocos músicos en España a lo largo de la historia. Se dice que su música es poco profunda, que le falta consistencia, que no ha seguido las corrientes del siglo XX, que fue un músico protegido por el régimen de Franco, que es el autor de una sola obra. Acusaciones faltas de consistencia y que deno­ tan desconocimiento cuando no mala intención sobre uno de los claros continuadores de Manuel de Falla. Con la diferencia sobre otros de que él nunca perdió su personalidad, tan definida como su lenguaje y preocupa­ ciones estéticas. Es uno de los pocos músicos que ha sabido asumir volun­ tariamente y con conocimiento de causa los aspectos más sobresalientes de la cultura española de todos los tiempos, y acaso por ello logró un reco­ nocimiento internacional del que pudo afortunadamente disfrutar gracias a su larga vida. Rodrigo se ganó el aplauso y admiración de los públicos más diversos, desde Alemania a Japón, de Francia a África del Sur, de Estados Unidos a Argentina.

At the same time, as this four­disc survey demonstrates, he was a much more modern composer than the two famous guitar works would suggest. Indeed, some of the music would prove rather "difficult" for many for many of the listeners who have enjoyed his guitar music, as the second movement of the Concierto Serenata immediately confirms. His group of concertos covers most of his career, the earliest being the piano concerto, Concierto heroico, from 1933, and extends through to the flute concerto, Concierto pastoral, commissioned from the 77­year­old composer in 1978 by James Galway.

  • Naxos Spanish Catalogue 1313.Indd
    Spanish Classics Spanish Classics The long history and wide infl uence of Spanish music gives it a unique position in Europe and Latin America, and our catalogue refl ects its abundance of tradition and vibrant inventiveness. Growing from the foundations laid by composers such as Alfonso X and Juan de Anchieta, the heights of 16th century polyphonic vocal style can be found in the glorious masses of Victoria, their secular counterparts in the instrumental music of Narváez and Cabezón. Italian infl uence marked Spanish music in the 18th century, with Soler as its leading virtuoso of the harpsichord. The guitar is symbolic of the music of Spain, and techniques developed by key composers such as Sor, Llobet and Tárrega became defi ning factors in the expressive range and character we hear from this instrument today. The Romantic era saw various forms of nationalism appearing across Europe. The unmistakably Iberian and distinctively evocative music of Albéniz and Granados moves almost seamlessly through to the crisp rhythms and poetically impressionist observations of Manuel de Falla, Federico Mompou and Josquin Rodrigo. Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez (8.555841), with its stunningly beautiful Adagio, stands for many as the ultimate symbol of Spanish classical music. This wealth of musical heritage frequently links the past with Spain’s composers of today, including the blend of folklore and penetrating innovation in the work of Leonardo Balada, the Andalusian fl avours of Lorenzo Palomo, and the striking Basque lyricism and descriptive vitality of Jesús Guridi. Spanish music has almost always connections with the country’s bright sunlight and culture of dance and fi esta; the rhythmic energy of dances such as the fl amenco and fandango complimenting unforgettable evocations of landscape and shimmering horizons.
