Felipe Pedrell (1841–1922) was a Spanish musicologist, composer, and pedagogue, widely regarded as a pioneer in the revival of Spanish folk music and its integration into classical music. His work primarily spans the genres of classical and folk music. Pedrell is notable for his extensive research and publications on Spanish music, including "El arte de la música en España" (The Art of Music in Spain), which emphasized the importance of regional folk traditions. He was a key figure in the early 20th-century movement that sought to establish a national identity in Spanish music, influencing composers like Manuel de Falla and Isaac Albéniz. His compositions, while not as widely performed today, showcased his commitment to incorporating Spanish themes and folk elements, contributing to a greater appreciation for Spain's musical heritage. Pedrell's impact on music can be seen in the way he paved the path for future generations of composers to draw inspiration from their national roots, ultimately helping to shape the course of modern Spanish music. His dedication to musicology also laid the groundwork for future studies in ethnomusicology.
