Joaquin Turina (1882 - 1949)

A native of Seville, Joaquin Turina won local success before travelling to Madrid, where he met Manuel de Falla and was further influenced by the prevailing currents of musical nationalism. Study in Paris at the Schola cantorum, was followed, in 1914, by a return to Madrid, where he made his subsequent career, in spite of the difficulties he and many others of his background encountered during the days of the republic.

Orchestral Music

Turina won success in 1913 with his symphonic poem Le procesión del Rocio, a work that remains in popular repertory, with the later Danzas fantásticas and the Rapsodia sinfónica for piano and orchestra.

Chamber Music

Turina's chamber music includes La Oración del torero (The Toreador's Prayer), for string quartet or string orchestra, and a number of works that declare their national allegiance and inspiration in their titles, Recuerdos de la antigua España (Memories of Ancient Spain) for lute quartet, and a string quartet de la guitarra.

Piano Music

A similar element is present in piano compositions by Turina, a significant body of work, from the early Suite, Sevilla, representing a recurrent element in his inspiration to the 1943 Por las calles de Sevilla (Through the Streets of Seville).

Vocal Music

Songs by Turina include the interesting Poema en forma de canciones (Poem in the Form of Songs), a cycle of five songs with words by Campoamor.
