July Garreta (Sant Feliu de Guíxols, 1875-1825) is one of the most important Catalan composers in the history of music. Heir to the great masters of European Romanticism, he composed around fifty works of symphonic and chamber music, always displaying an exquisite gift for melodic creativity and a great mastery of orchestration. Qualities that he also transferred to the eighty sardanas that he wrote, all of a high level and very original, key to raising the quality and richness of music for copla. This 2025 the Generalitat celebrates the Garreta Year, coinciding with the double anniversary of the 150th anniversary of the composer's birth and the centenary of his death.
