	Introduction - Joaquín Rodrigo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		By birth, Joaquín Rodrigo could have been a member of the generation of composers known as the Generación del 27, the preferred term used by scholars to refer to their common ideological proposals, despite the musical circles established according to geographical boundaries such as the group of composers from Barcelona and "the eight" of Madrid.
		Rodrigo could not have imagined its progressive and unstoppable success, which opened the way for him to compose other works in the same genre and other formal structures of a similar nature.
		Rodrigo himself is a fine pianist and among his first works for that instrument, such as the Preludio al gallo mañanero (1926), one can find examples of his magnificent musical intuition which presaged a very healthy future.

	Joaquin Rodrigo
		Although the figures of Manuel de Falla and Joaquin Turina tend to overshadow other 20th century Spanish nationalist composers, an exploration of the music--particularly the songs--of Joaquin Rodrigo reveals a wealth of traditional folk idioms, quasi-impressionistic color landscapes, and poetry drawn from the Siglo de Oro to the present.
		Rodrigo's compositions for the solo voice reveal his almost nostalgic nationalism- his attempts to get back to the "roots" of Spanish art song evoke images of the Spanish countryside and the nobility of the 16th century.
		In this, the 100th anniversary year of Rodrigo's birth, it seems appropriate to step back and examine his life and works in an attempt to give him a place in the history of Spanish song.
