The work of composer Manuel de Falla (1876-1946) ranges from late-romantic salon pieces to evocations of flamenco to stark neoclassicism. Building on over a decade of research, Hess examines Falla’s work in terms of musical style and explores the cultural milieus in which he worked. With superb analysis of his music and enlightening detail about its critical reception, Hess also examines Falla’s status in some circles as little more than a high-class pop composer, given the mass appeal of much of his music. She incorporates recent research on Falla, draws upon untapped sources in the Falla archives, and reevaluates his work in terms of current issues in musicology.
