Manuel de Falla (1876-1946)
De Falla received his early training in Spain, including study with Felipe Pedrell, who had a lasting affect on De Falla’s work. From 1907 to 1914 De Falla lived in Paris. There he worked alongside such luminaries as Dukas, Debussy, Fauré, Ravel, Albéniz, and Turina.
De Falla, on returning to Spain (Madrid), composed music indebted to Cante Jondo, the awe-inspiring folk music that emerged from the intermingling of cultures in medieval Andalusian Spain, and finds it’s current reflection in Flamenco music. The history of this development in music history is of utmost importance, but sadly, is often glossed over.
