Enrique (more properly Enrich or Enric; Enrique is the Castilian form
of this Catalan name) Morera is, perhaps, the leading Catalan composer.
He is best-known for his choral arrangements of folk-songs, some of
which have been heard in New York through the medium of the Schola
Cantorum, but he has written music for Guimerá's plays, and a lyric
drama entitled _L'Alegría que passa_, the book for which was furnished
by Santiago Rusiñol.
Conrado del Campo has written a _Divina Comedia_ for orchestra and
Bartolomé Pérez Casas a _Suite Murcienne_ which G. Jean-Aubry includes
in a list of modern Spanish orchestral music. Pérez Casas is at present
the conductor of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Madrid. He and Turina
conducted the orchestra for the Russian Ballet during the May, 1918,
visit of that organization to Madrid.
I have the very pretty _Impressions Musicales_ for piano of Oscar
Esplá. The subtitle is _Cuentos Infantiles; composición escrita
en 1905 para una fiesta de niños_. There are five parts which are
entitled, respectively, _En el Hogar_, _Barba Azul_, _Caperucita Roja_,
_Cenicienta_, and _Antaño_. This music is not very Spanish; indeed it
reminds me strongly of the music of Rebikof.
R. Villar has written many pieces for piano, including _Páginas
Románticos_, _Nereida_, _Foot-Ball_, several songs, and pieces for
violin and piano and 'cello and piano. V. Costa y Nogueras is the
composer of _Flor de Almendro_ (1901), _Inés de Castro_ (1905) and
_Valieri_ (1906). J. Gómez is the composer of a _Suite in A_ for
orchestra which has been arranged for the piano. It includes _Prelude_,
_Intermezzo_, _Popular Song_, and _Finale-Dance_.
P. 85. "perhaps the first of the important Spanish composers to visit
North America": Albéniz came to the United States as a pianist in the
seventies when he was about fifteen years old.
