Timeline

Manuel Palau Boix (4 January 1893 – 18 February 1967) was a Spanish composer and teacher in Valencia Conservatory.

He wrote a large number of symphonic, band (wind orchestra), choral and chamber works.

He was one of the most popular and important composers of his time.

Born in Alfara del Patriarca (Valencia) on 4 January 1893, he started his musical education at the Conservatory of Music in Valencia.

He studied composition with Charles Koechlin and Ravel and many of his compositions are influenced by the impressionism.

1927

He received the Spanish National Music Award (Premio Nacional de Música) twice, first in 1927 and again in 1945.

His music is known within the Spanish classical music for being a representative of what it has been called “Mediterranean” style, like other Spanish musicians such as Vicente Asencio or Oscar Esplá.

The cities of Valencia, Alfara del Patriarca, Llíria, Alaquàs and Xirivella named streets after him.

There is a Spanish choir called Manuel Palau in his honor.

Palau lived some of the sweetest and most bitter moments of art in Spain.

He had the good fortune to be a contemporary of a large number of artists (painters, poets, musicians) and scientists who had achieved international significance.

However, he also had the misfortune of living through the horrendous events of the military insurrection against the legitimate government of the country and suffered the post-war horrors that severely impeded artistic production.

But the Valencian musician composed until the end of his days, motivated by the satisfaction that his own creative activity gave him.

In 1927 and 1945 he won the Premio Nacional de Música (Spanish National Music Award).

1951

He was a teacher in the Conservatory of Valencia and became principal in 1951.

Among his students there are international musicians such the conductor Manuel Galduf, the professor Salvador Seguí, etc.

1967

Manuel Palau Boix died in Valencia on 18 February 1967.

Palau looked into the French musical mirror, where he found some of his more important musical influences.

The artistic currents that coexisted at that moment influenced his music to a greater or lesser degree.

An review of some of those styles, Palau’s sources of inspiration, bring us closer to the European musical environment of that time.

But, without doubt, one of the elements that marked his music in a definite way, was to be Valencian folklore.

Originally from a small village in the Valencian countryside (Alfara del Patriarca), the music that he heard sung at parties, weddings, etc., were to become his constant inspiration.

2013

In 2013 Palau’s heirs donated their musical material to the Valencian Library and IVM (Valencian Musical Institute).

3.069 books and scores from his personal library, 196 recordings, 109 publications, and 1.242 documents from his personal archive (840 manuscripts of his works).

Despite his prolific musical production, Manuel Palau is relatively unknown in the music world.

Palau left a very interesting collection of music, including guitar works and, additionally, he wrote a substantial concerto that is almost forgotten today and has been barely performed since his composition.

Manuel Palau wrote more than hundred Lieder, one guitar concerto (Concert of Valencia or Concierto Levantino), two piano concerti, three symphonies, choral music, ballet, the opera Maror.

Here a list of works.

Sometimes, he recreates a given popular themes, other times he invented melodies himself in the style of folk music, giving his compositions a peculiarity that differentiates his music from other Spanish music of the time (that often looked to the South of Spain for its inspiration) that had become popular towards the end of the 19th century.

Manuel Palau looks for the Valencian’s colour: at a time in which Andalusian regionalism was dominant, the maestro sought inspiration in his own cultural roots.

Orchestras as the ONE (National Orchestra of Spain), ORTVE (Spanish Radio TV Orchestra) Joven Orquesta de la Generalitat Valenciana, have recorded his music, including soloists such Narciso Yepes, Bertomeu Jaume, Rafael Serrallet and Manuel Galduf, etc.
