Lo pom de flors (1854) and Les flors de maig (1858) are perhaps Josep Anselm Clav\u00e9’s most popular melodies.
\nJosep Anselm Clav\u00e9 (1824-1974) was a politician, composer and creator of the choral movement in Catalonia. In 1850 he founded the first choral society, La Fraternitat (shortly later called Euterpe), with a clear desire to bring music and culture closer to the popular classes and offer leisure alternatives, practically non-existent until then. A whole social revolution for the time.
\nThis initiative spread quickly and different choral societies began to appear all over Catalonia, such as in Sants, Hospitalet, Cornell\u00e0… and Sant Joan Desp\u00ed.
\nEl Cor de la Flora, founded in 1863, is the oldest organization in Sant Joan Desp\u00ed and one of the oldest in the choral world. If the choirs usually appeared in the industrial area, this was made up of field workers.
\nThis document is the fragment of this popular melody, with the express authorization of \u00c0urea Rosa Clav\u00e9, daughter of the composer, for it to be sung by the Sociedad Coral Flora.
\nThe municipal archives preserve the documentary funds of historical entities and associations, as is the case in Sant Joan Desp\u00ed el Cor de Flora. The choral movement that propelled Clav\u00e9 is a benchmark throughout Europe and this year we are commemorating the 200th anniversary of its birth with the Year of Clav\u00e9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14087,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"eix":[8],"class_list":["post-12461","document","type-document","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","eix-batecs-de-la-societat-catalana"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
