Las Saetas para órgano: un ejemplo del lenguaje compositivo de Eduardo Torres Pérez (Albaida, 1872 - Sevilla, 1934)

Abstract

This work focuses on the figure of Eduardo Torres Pérez (Albaida, 1872 - Seville, 1934), on the 150th anniversary of his birth. It aims to make the multifaceted composer known, as well as to analyze and understand his intense language.
In the first place, it offers a vision of his biography and, therefore, of the historical period and geographical context in which he lived, highlighting his professional activity in Seville and his friendship with Manuel de Falla. Next, based on the parametric analysis of his Saetas for organ, chosen as representative works of the master, an approach to his musical language is presented, framed between French Impressionism and the Nationalism of the Andalusian school.
