Literature and nation in the emergence of contemporary Galician music

This work offers another vision of master Freire and the music of his time, in which the name of the composer from Lugo occupies one of the most prominent places. Attention is paid to unknown texts, such as Non chores, Sabeliña! (available in a version for orchestra with piano reduction and in a version for band by the composer himself, on our website) Moreover, detailed research of the vicissitudes and form of the literary and musical documents hidden under that piece is also included. This essay places Freire in the musical world that he lived in and also helped to build.
