On vacation I heard the Shanghai Quartet perform a piece of music
called *La oracion del torero (op.34)* by a composer named Joaquin Turina.
According to the program Turina lived from 1882-1949, but it gave no other
information.  I had never heard of him.

The music was interesting and tonal.  Seemed to be some sort of rondo, or
variations perhaps, with possibly a Spanish flavor.  (Hard for me to tell
on only one hearing.)

Is anyone familiar with this composer and his works?
