Enric Morera i Viura

Morera was born in Barcelona but moved with his father, a musician, to Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1867, studying organ, trumpet, and violin there.

He finally returned to Barcelona in 1890 where he was prominent in the movement Catalan Musical Modernism, with for example the opera La fada (The Fairy) in 1897.

Among his students were Vicente Asencio, Agusti Grau, Manuel Infante, Xavier Montsalvatge and Carlos Surinach.

His music is generally strongly nationalist in character and forms part of the repertory of Catalan national compositions.

The personal papers of Enric Morera are preserved in the Biblioteca de Catalunya.
