Ricard Lamote de Grignon (1899–1962) studied with his father, the composer and conductor Joan Lamote de Grignon, from whom he acquired a solid training. The composer himself highlighted the influence of Claude Debussy and Richard Strauss on his extraordinarily eclectic output. The enigmatically titled El convent dels peixos (The Convent of the Fishes) is a decidedly impressionistic miniature, probably written in 1945.
