En los Trigales
Joaquin Rodrigo (composer)

"In the Wheatfields" from a set of pieces called "For the People of Spain".
It is possible to hear this work as an illustration in music of the actual fields of wheat, the people working in the fields, the Spanish people themselves, or perhaps the dance rhythms of Spain being seen through the wheat "dancing".


How does this piece of music reflect the people, landscape, or spirit of Spain?

Does knowing that this work is programmatic (is about something) help in your listening, appreciation, or enjoyment of it?
