Urtext-The Spaniard Joaquin Turina (1882-1949) was one of the first contemporary composers who addressed by the outstanding guitarist Andrés Segovia wrote contemporary original works for the guitar thus paving the way for this instrument onto the international concert stages in the 20th century. Meanwhile it is a known fact that Segovia often edited the musical text of the compositions written for him and arranged it according to his personal style of interpretation. Our new editions of Turina's most important works are therefore based on both the first editions and the original autograph versions thus presenting for the first time the original text. Today no performer canget around these new editions if he/she wants to deal with Turina's artistic legacy in a responsible manner.

La Oracion del torrero para cuarteto de cuerda. In the pantheon of 20th century Spanish composers: I. Albeniz M. De Falla E. Granados and the Catalan F. Mompou Joaquin Turina was the only one to devote a considerable part of his compositional talents to chamber music. Like each of the aforementioned composers he lived and studied music in Paris where he was encouraged by the likes of D’Indy Ravel and Debussy. In this brief tone poem for string quartet La Oración del Torero 'The Bullfighter’s Prayer' the influence of Debussy can be heard especially in the use of lush descending parallel ninth chords. The influence of music of the Andalusian Gypsies is also quiteevident. This piece became one of the composer’s most popular works often performed in an arrangement for string orchestra.

Composer pianist writer and educator Joaquin Turina was born in Seville in 1882 and was active mainly in Spain until his death in 1949. His work is influenced by traditional Andalusian idioms. The Serenata is no exception. In it Turina employs all his French classical training filtered through Spanish sonorities to make a sophisticated an appealing work of chamber music. Originally Turina had included a part for bass which was lost.
