Abstract


The great ideal of Enlightenment were introduced in Spain with moderate intensity. The composer Anselm Viola (1738-1798) lived at that moment. He was composer, pedagog and monk of Montserrat Monastery of Catalonia (Spain). The corpus of his work introduced: Sonatas and specific music for organ; Studies for fagot; Magnificat and Messes for choir and orchestra. I would like to call your attention to Concert per baixó i orquestra, which is probabily, the only work for soloist and orchestra found in the Península Ibérica after the wars and lack intellectual interest in the musical heritage of Spain.
