From the period sources
Joaquín Turina, born in Seville in 1882, was an able Spanish composer, according to The New Encyclopedia of Music and Musicians (1924). He received instruction from several notable figures, studying with Torres, Tragó, M. Moszkowski, and d’Indy. By 1905, Turina was active in Madrid, establishing himself as a significant musical voice. His compositional output included music for Sierra’s Margot (1914) and Novidad (1916), as well as for Moreto’s Adultera Penitente (1917). He also composed the symphonic poem La Procesión del Rocio and the Sinfonia Sevillana, which was a prize-winning work. His instrumental music included Danzas Fantasticas, a piano-quintet, a string-quartet, and Escena Andaluza for piano, viola, and quartet, alongside a Sonata Romantica for piano and many other piano pieces. Beyond composition, Turina also contributed to musical scholarship, authoring a two-volume Enciclopedia de Musica in 1917.
