Joaquín Rodrigo: Dos Poemas De Juan Ramon Jimenez: Flute: Score

Dos Poemas De Juan Ramon Jimenez are settings of two poems by the Spanish Nobel Prize-winning poet arranged for either Voice and Flute or Voice and Piano (one hand). Written c. 1959 they were first performed in December 1962 in Valencia. A perfect gift for any young singer looking for quirky but easy performance pieces. Joaquin Rodrigo (1901-1999) was born in Valencia and lost his sight to diphtheria at the age of three which is believed to have heightened his hearing and inspired him to pursue a musical career. He began to study music five years later and became one of Spainâ s most distinguished composers musicologists and pedagogues.
