Miscarriage Music

Joaquín Rodrigo Vidre, 1st Marquis of the Gardens of Aranjuez; (November 22, 1901 – July 6, 1999) most famous work, Concierto de Aranjuez, was composed in 1939 in Paris for the guitarist Regino Sainz de la Maza. In later life he and his wife declared that it was written as a response to the miscarriage of their first child.[2] It is a concerto for guitar and orchestra. The central adagio movement is one of the most recognizable in 20th-century classical music, featuring the interplay of guitar with cor anglais.
