NATIONALISMNATIONALISM

Similar materials are used in folk

music besides melodies, harmonies

and rhythms inspired by this.

And we found some authors as

Manuel de Falla and Joaquín Turina.

CURRENTS THAT COEXIST WITH CURRENTS THAT COEXIST WITH

NATIONALISMNATIONALISM Neo-romanticism: new musical forms, sounds and textures were

explored. It’s opposed to the earlier times because of its creative

freedom.

Neoclassicism: little instrumental groups are reused, especially the

chamber ones. They also utilize lots of contrapuntal qualities and they

usually refuse expressing feelings.

Vanguardism: they want to innovate in the artistic production,

using different “isms”.

Dodecaphonism: it is used a new composition technique, which

includes the 12 notes in the chromatic scale used by the same way.

Isaac AlbénizIsaac Albéniz

He was born in Spain in 1860 and he

died in France in 1909.

Great composer and pianist.

He wrote for different instruments,

as well as orchestral and chamber

music plays.

Granada and Asturias, pieces that we

are going to perform, belong to the

Spanish Suite.

Rumores de la Caleta:

Page 7: The Spanish Music in the 20th Century

Spanish SuiteSpanish Suite It consists of excerpts that were written in 1886 and that in 1887 were

clustered in honour of the Spanish Queen.

It includes: Granada, Cataluña, Sevilla and Cuba. The other ones, Cádiz,

Asturias, Aragón and Castilla, were published in later editions.

Granada: is a calm and sensual serenade that shows a happy principal

theme which contrasts the next theme with a mysterious and melancholy

tone.

Asturias: is the most popular one and, although is named after the

Cantabrian region, it evokes Andalusian air.
