Michael Christoforidis is widely recognized as a leading expert on
one of Spain's most important composers, Manuel de Falla. This
volume brings together both new chapters and revised versions of
previously published work, some of which is made available here in
English for the first time. The introductory chapter provides a
biographical outline of the composer and characterisations of both
Falla and his music during his lifetime. The sections that follow
explore different facets of Falla's mature works and musical
identity. Part II traces the evolution of his flamenco-inspired
Spanish style through contacts with Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel
and Igor Stravinsky, while Part III explores the impact of
post-World War I modernities on Falla's musical nationalism. The
final part reflects on aspects of Falla's music and the politics of
Spain in the 1930s and 1940s. Situating his discussion of these
aspects of Falla's music within a broader context, including
currents in literature and the visual arts, Christoforidis provides
a distinctive and original contribution to the study of Falla as
well as to the wider fields of musical modernism, exoticism, and
music and politics.
