Né en 1876 à Cadix, la ville portuaire historique d'Andalousie, Manuel de Falla est le plus grand compositeur espagnol de ce siècle.Après la mort de Debussy (25 mars 1918), Henri Prunieres a demandé à Falla de contribuer à la Revue Musicale, dont il était l'éditeur. Bien que Prunieres ait demandé un article, Falla a préféré répondre par un morceau de musique, l'Homenaje, satisfaisant par la même la demande de Miguel Llobet d'une oeuvre pour guitare. / Guitare

In 1920, a Parisian magazine asked several leading composers to compose musical tributes to the famous French musician Claude Debussy, who had died in 1918. The great Spanish composer Manuel De Falla (1876-1946) wasone of them: having met Debussy in Paris, he had been heavily influenced by the French impressionists. His Homenaje (Homage) was his only work for solo Guitar, although it was arranged by the composer for soloPiano almost immediately. It is widely regarded as one of the masterpieces of early 20th century music - at only three minutes in length, it is often said it has twenty minutes' worth of music contained within it.
