I learned that the city of Aranjuéz was once only inhabited by Spanish royalty. If you were not noble, you were not allowed to live there. About 200 years later, commoners were first allowed to live in the municipality. The palace for which the town is so well-known for was built during the reign of King Philip II and is extremely beautiful. Joaquin Rodrigo was a composer who wrote the popular concerto "El concierto de Aranjuéz". He was almost completely blind, but his wife helped him tremendously with that.
As I listened to his famous concierto, images of summertime kept popping up in my head. I visualized flowers blooming, birds singing, and bright green grass rippling in a soft breeze. Rodrigo wrote the concierto because he wanted everyone to feel what he felt as he walked around the exquisite palace and gardens in his city. I liked the second movement the best because it was the most exciting.
Me alegro mucho que te haya gustado la pieza. Sí, la segunda parte es muy tranquila. Me gusta poner este concierto para mis plantas que les gusta escuchar buena música.
