(El Palacio Real de Aranjuéz, España)
1. Look up Aranjuéz (Spain) and read about its historical significance, about the palace and its story, and about a Spanish composer named Joaquin Rodrigo. Give a brief summary of what you learn on your blog.
2. Then, listen to "El concierto de Aranjuéz" (all three movements) at the site below. As you close your eyes and listen, what are the images that cross your mind? Why did Rodrigo write the "Concierto...?" Which of the three movements did you like the most? Why?
