Joaquín Clerch

To the south of Madrid, on the way to Andalusia, stands the Royal Palace of Aranjuez, a city of Italian inspiration built in the sixteenth century by King Felipe II, and kept as Spring Royal Residence until 1870. Significant events in the history of Spain occurred here, such as the abdication of Carlos IV in favour of his son Fernando VII. During all that time, gardens and tree-lined streets continued to be added, to the point where Aranjuez represents the perfection of Nature, ordered by man. It is hardly a surprise that when Joaquín Rodrigo (1902-1999), the sightless composer trained in Paris, visited the Royal Seat in 1933 on his honeymoon, he should be captivated by the fragrance of magnolias, the song of the birds and the splash of the fountains.
