Description

Joaquín Rodrigo: A Research and Information Guide catalogues and summarizes the musical works and related literature of Joaquín Rodrigo (1901-99), perhaps the most important Spanish composer of concert music in the second half of the twentieth century. The guide provides annotated bibliographic entries for both primary and secondary sources, detailing several guitar concertos, concertos for flute, violin, harp, cello, and piano, as well as symphonic pieces, piano solos, chamber music, and choral and stage works. Rodrigo's reputation rests on the Concierto de Aranjuez for guitar and orchestra and its expressive middle movement, which inspired jazz arrangements by Miles Davis and Chick Corea in the 1960s and continues to appear in film scores even eighty years after its composition.

A major reference tool for all those interested in the prolific Rodrigo and his music-featuring a chronology of the composer's life and robust indices that enable researchers to easily locate sources by author, composition, or subject-Joaquín Rodrigo: A Research and Information Guide is a valuable resource for students and researchers alike.
