The Vocal work is demanding and the Piano part more than mere accompaniment which keep these songs alive in the recital repertoire.Composer pianist writer and educator Joaquin Turina was born in Seville in 1882 and was active mainly in Spain until his death in 1949.

Joaquin Turina is often contrasted with Albéniz and Granados, those two proponents of a Spanish national style. Turina strove to write music of a European standard in the conventional major forms and it is possible to hear the influence of Turina’s years studying in Paris, as well as his native Spain combined with the composer’s own unique Voice.
