Xoán Montes (1840-1899) was a Galician composer, instrumentalist and teacher born in Lugo . In 1850 he began his studies at the Conciliar Seminary of Lugo with the aim of pursuing a priestly career. He spent fourteen years training as a boarder at the ecclesiastical institution, leaving in the summer of 1864 to dedicate himself entirely to the practice of music. During his years as a seminarian, Montes received very little musical training that he himself needed to continue in a self-taught manner by studying the texts of Fetis-Gil, Eslava or Berlioz . In Montes 's production we find compositions and arrangements for choir, organ, band, orchestra, quartet, sextet, voice or piano. He died on the night of June 23 to 24, 1899 due to a cerebral hemorrhage.

Negra sombra is a Galician poem by Rosalía de Castro set to music by Xoán Montes and converted by him into one of the most emblematic Galician songs.

Georges Bizet (1836-1875) was a French pianist and composer who was not particularly successful during his lifetime. During his brilliant student career at the Paris Conservatoire , he won several awards, including the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1857. He was recognized as an exceptional pianist, although he preferred not to take advantage of his skill and rarely played in public. His best-known opera, Carmen , was a sensational success at its premiere, but he never lived to enjoy it, as he died three months later of a heart attack at the age of 39. His other works were shelved and then gradually revived in the 20th century. Despite this, he is now considered a leading figure of the 19th century and a brilliant and imaginative composer.

Carmen is a dramatic opera in four acts with music by Georges Bizet and a French libretto by Ludovic Halévy and Henri Meilhac , based on the novel Carmen by Prosper Mérimée ; the action takes place in Seville in 1820 and stars a beautiful and impulsive gypsy with a strong character.

Today we present a suite from the opera made up of some of the most outstanding themes from the opera and instrumented for a brass ensemble, entirely female in this case and led by the Norwegian trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth .

Ruperto Chapí (1851-1909) was a Spanish composer of zarzuelas born in Vilena (Alicante). He began studying music theory with his father as a child, joining the Vilena Music Band at the age of nine. Aware of their son's abilities, his parents sent him to Madrid at the age of 16 to study music at the Conservatory with maestro Emilio Arrieta , who taught him harmony and composition. In 1872, he won First Prize for his degree , along with his classmate Tomás Bretón ; the following year, he won a scholarship from the Academy of Fine Arts to study in Rome . He is considered one of the leading zarzuela composers; although he also composed operas, chamber music, and symphonic music. He was the founder of the General Society of Authors and Writers (SGAE).

La Revoltosa is a one-act lyrical sainete, with a libretto by José López Silva and Carlos Fernández Shaw , and music composed by maestro Ruperto Chapí . It is considered, along with La verbena de la Paloma , one of the pinnacle works of the género chico (zarzuela in one act). The libretto faithfully reflects the neighborhood atmosphere of the late 19th century , faithfully portraying types and situations, thanks to two highly skilled librettists, who bring to the stage all the feeling and reality of Madrid in those years. The music is one of the most valued elements of this sainete. Ruperto Chapí creates a truly symphonic and popular work that captivates from the first notes of its prelude, creating a score in which the cultured and the popular go hand in hand like never before.

Eugenia Osterberger, often known as Madame Saunier (Santiago de Compostela, December 20, 1852 - Nice, February 8, 1932), was a Galician composer and pianist of the Romantic period. The daughter of a woman from A Coruña and an Alsatian engraver and lithographer, Eugenia soon showed an interest in music, learning to play the piano as a child. Years after her return from training in France , she married the French engineer Francisco Saunier and settled in the city of A Coruña . In the city of Hercules, Osterberger maintained relationships not only with prominent figures in Galician music of her time, but also in literature, such as Emilia Pardo Bazán , joining the El Folk-Lore Gallego society, which Emilia herself presided over. For her contributions in the field of music she was appointed a corresponding member of the Royal Galician Academy when it was founded in 1906. In 1908 she moved with her family to the city of Nice , where she resided until her death.

Her largely unknown work was published by Canuto Berea in A Coruña (publishing purely instrumental works), F. Laurens in Paris , and the publishing houses of Benito Zozaya and Casa Dotesio in Madrid . The few known works by this composer from Santiago de Compostela include works for piano only and salon songs for voice and piano. In addition to her outstanding musical production, Eugenia Osterberger participated in various initiatives to enhance Galician culture. At least during the years she lived in A Coruña , her teaching activities are also worth noting. Among her students was Pilar Castillo , who would later become an internationally renowned pianist and possibly held the chair of piano in Madrid .

Today we offer a small collection of Galician popular songs prepared for soprano and piano by our protagonist of this video, Eugenia Osterberger , and performed by the soprano Susana de Lorenzo and the pianist Beatriz López-Suevos.


Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632-1687) was a French composer of Italian origin (born in Florence ) who became a naturalized Frenchman at the age of 21 (his real name was Giovanni Battista Lulli ). He soon stood out as a violinist and dancer, and at the age of twenty he joined the service of Louis XIV as musical director of the royal family. From then on, his importance in the development of classical ballet has been paramount. In 1672, he obtained the position of director of the Academie Royale de Musique, renewing the essence of opera with greater solemnity in its staging, a decisive emphasis on the clarity of the text, and careful elaboration of the ballets and choruses. In 1685, a scandal broke out; it became known that Lully had had a relationship with a young page of the Chapel named Brunet ; the composer then lost his credit with the king. His musical production is fundamentally based on three pillars: opera, ballets, and religious music.

Atys is a lyric tragedy with a prologue and five acts, with music by Jean-Baptiste Lully and a French libretto by Philippe Quinault , based on the poem Fasti by Ovid . It premiered in Saint-Germain-en-Laye on 10 January 1676. Perhaps one of its best-known parts is the passage of Atys 's dream in the third act. This scene shows the young man lying on the ground, introduced into a deep sleep while a group of instrumentalists (Baroque flutes, lutes and bassoons), as well as a small group of four singers, narrate the action accompanied by the continuo of the orchestra, giving the scene a fantastic as well as melancholic character. This opera was the favorite of King Louis XIV of France of all those composed by Jean-Baptiste Lully , due to various psychological identifications of the monarch and his wife with the characters in the tragedy.

Today we offer the Co-production of the Opéra de Paris / Opéra de Montpellier / Teatro comunale de Florence with the direction of Pierre Cavassilas , and the Orchestre Les Arts Florissants , among other musical subjects, conducted by the American maestro William Christie .

Johann Strauss Jr. (1825–1899) was an Austrian composer, son of Johann Strauss and brother of fellow composers Josef Strauss and Eduard Strauss . Known during his lifetime as “the waltz king,” he was a key factor in its evolution and sophistication, transforming it from a peasant dance into a dance of entertainment for the Imperial Court . He is best known in the family for his waltzes, polkas, and marches; he also composed several operettas. His father wanted to prevent his son from experiencing the hardships of a musician's life, so it was his mother who helped and encouraged him to focus on music. His work forms the basis of the repertoire offered annually at the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra 's New Year's Concert .

The waltz (from the German Walzer , a term derived from the German verb walzen , meaning "to turn, to roll") is an elegant ballroom dance, documented in its definitive form since the late 18th century . It is the evolution of an ancient 12th-century dance, originating in Tyrol (Austria) and southern Germany . The waltz gained status in Vienna during the 1760s, quickly spreading to other countries. Some authors believe that the waltz originated from the volte or volta , a 3-beat dance practiced during the 16th century . The word waltz was born in the 18th century , when the dance was introduced into opera and ballet; its most significant characteristic is that its time signatures are in 3/4 time.

The Ayacuchano Carnival is a festival held in the city of Ayacucho, Peru , in February, for three days. It was declared by the National Institute of Culture of Peru (INC) as Cultural Heritage of the Nation , the first of its kind, in 2003. In 2021, a special edition was held under the title of Carnival of Integration of the Countries of America . Like many of the cultural expressions coming from Europe , carnivals are reinterpreted in Peru , giving them a different content than it had in its medieval origin. To this day in Europe , there is talk of the temporary inversion of order, to establish almost a temporary chaos, where festive images, characters and symbols emerge that break with daily life and work. A close observation of carnivals in Peru shows that they are the affirmation of their own cultural concepts and artistic expressions that correspond to native or mestizo cultures with their own content, integrating themselves into contemporary social life.

During its celebration, made official in 1988, the various social sectors involved reaffirm and express their ways of thinking and feeling in accordance with the norms of the oral tradition cultures to which they belong. Within the three days of celebration - days in which not only rural comparsas take to the streets, but also urban comparsas - the city is filled with color and gases throughout the streets, especially in the central areas where the comparsas gather in greatest numbers, at the same time that the "corta montes" are celebrated in all the city's neighborhoods.


The Muñeira (in Galician, muiñeira: "miller") is a popular dance of Galician origin that is danced in Galicia and in the Spanish autonomous communities of Asturias and in territories of Castilla y León bordering Galicia . According to Dionisio Preciado, in other regions of Spain it is called "gallegada". It is sung and danced accompanied by the bagpipe, the tambourine or drum, the tambourine (pandeireta), the tambourine (pandeiro), bass drum, charrasco and sometimes the shells (cunchas or vieiras). There are no unequivocal documentary references to the muñeira prior to the 16th century . Today it is, above all, an instrumental dance that, like the sardana , maintains a beat in 6/8. The name muiñeira evokes the working days in the mills - in Galician muíños - and the leisure time associated with waiting for the milling.
