About this event

Joan Araniés was a baroque composer and maestro di capella active in Catalonia during the first half of the 17th century. His works are little known, with the exception of Un sarao de la Chacona, a piece that appears in the Second book of tonos and villancicos in one, two, three or four voices (1624), a collection of secular works of great beauty with texts in Spanish, published during the time the composer lived in Rome. Musicologist Màrius Bernadó, guitarist Rafael Bonavita and philologist Judith Farré have reconstructed Araniés’ music specially for this concert.
