Inspired by dances of the 17th-century Spanish composer Gaspar Sanz, the work combines courtly elegance, bright Spanish rhythms, and virtuosic brilliance. In the flute version, the music takes on a graceful, singing quality while retaining the charm and rhythmic vitality of the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eContents\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVillano y Ricerare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEspañoleta y fanfare de la Caballer a de Nápoles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDanza de las hachas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCanario.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout Joaquín Rodrigo\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoaquín Rodrigo (1901-1999) was a prominent Spanish composer of the 20th century.

During his time in France, he found a mentor in composer Manuel de Falla.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1939, he returned to Spain, and his Concierto de Aranjuez for guitar and orchestra (1940) received great acclaim after its debut in Barcelona.
