Alejandro García Caturla
Alejandro García Caturla (7 March 1906 – 12 November 1940) was a Cuban composer of art music and creolized Cuban themes.
==Biography==
He was born in Remedios. At sixteen he became a second violin of the new ''Orquesta Sinfonica de La Habana'' in 1922, where Amadeo Roldán was concert-master (first-chair violin). He also began composing at a young age, whilst studying both music and law. Despite being of pure Spanish descent, he was fascinated by Afro-Cuban folklore,〔Nicolas Slonimsky, ''Music of Latin America'' (New York: Thomas Y. Crowell Company, 1945): 184.〕 and these themes were characteristic of his compositions: the division between art music and popular music did not influence Cuban composers of this period.
After his student days, Caturla lived all his life in the small central town of Remedios. He became a lawyer and continued to compose music. His ''Tres danzas cubanas'' for symphony orchestra was first performed in Spain in 1929. ''Bembe'' was premiered in Havana the same year. In 1932 he founded the Caibarien Concert Society, whose orchestra he conducted on many occasions. His ''Obertura cubana'' won first prize in a national contest in 1938. He was also a multi-instrumental musical performer and a baritone singer of some quality.
Caturla has two primary legacies. The first, an example of a universal musician, happily combining classical and folkloric themes with modern musical ideas. His career followed a similar path to Amadeo Roldán, and the two men are considered to be pioneers of modern Cuban symphonic art. His second legacy is one of serving justice in Cuba's legal system, first as a lawyer and then as a judge. When serving as a judge, he was murdered at 34 by a young gambler whom he was due to sentence only hours later.〔Carpentier, Alejo 2001 (). ''Music in Cuba''. Minneapolis MN.〕〔Orovio, Helio 2004.
