The Spanish Republican exile of 1939 impacted music as much as it
did literature and academia, with well-known figures such as Adolfo
Salazar and Roberto Gerhard forced to leave Spain. Exile is
typically regarded as a discontinuity - an irreparable dissociation
between the home country and the host country. Spanish exiled
composers, however, were never totally cut off from the musical
life of Francoist Spain (1939-1975), be it through private
correspondence, public performances of their work, honorary
appointments and invitations from Francoist institutions, or a
physical return to Spanish soil. Music and Exile in Francoist Spain
analyses the connections of Spanish exiled composers with their
homeland throughout 1939-1975. Taking the diversity and
heterogeneity of the Spanish Republican exile as its starting
point, the volume presents extended comparative case studies in
order to broaden and advance current conceptions of, and debates
surrounding, exile in musicology and Spanish studies. In doing so,
it significantly furthers academic research on individual composers
including Salvador Bacarisse, Julian Bautista, Roberto Gerhard,
Rodolfo Halffter, Julian Orbon and Adolfo Salazar. As the first
English-language monograph to explore the exiled composers from the
perspectives of historiography, music criticism, performance and
correspondence, Eva Moreda Rodriguez's vivid reconception of the
role of place and nation in twentieth-century music history will be
of particular interest for scholars of Spanish music, Spanish
Republican history, and exile and displacement more broadly.
