The 1976 Commissions of Homenaje a Pablo Casals: Stylistic Influences and the Evolution of Spanish Musical Modernism

Abstract Details

2011, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music: Violoncello.
This paper documents the stylistic influences manifest in the musical compositions commissioned in 1976 by the government of Spain in honor of the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Pablo Casals, and traces the development of modern Spanish musical styles alongside the larger cultural and political upheavals Spain experienced in the modern era. Brief biographical background is given of the composers in order to note their individual musical influences, with references to salient avant-garde approaches evident in their compositions. Readers will gain deeper insight into the cultural underpinnings and stylistic influences associated with the 1976 commissions, which collectively highlight the remarkable evolution of Spanish and Catalán musical styles across the 20th century.
