Sunday Bandstand 7 March 2021
Alfredo Javaloyes López was born on March 22, 1865 in Elche (Alicante, Spain), on a street that today bears his name. At the age of 15, he went to Barcelona to study music.
He was a violinist until a tram accident disabled his left hand. He had the support of his teacher, Felipe Pedrell, and returned to Elche where he directed the La Escala Music Band.
In 1897, he was appointed the Director of Music for the Sevilla 33 Regiment in Cartagena. In 1918 and assigned to the Barbastro Hunters Battalion No. 4 of the garrison in Tetouan. He retired in 1928 and returned to Elche as Director of the Municipal Band. He died in that city on February 18, 1944.
Among the many pieces that he composed, there are several processional marches, and the well-known pasodoble "El Abanico", composed in 1898, and which was so popular that even the Royal Grenadier Guards Regiment in London made it their own anthem.
Today, we are featuring ‘El Abanico’ with the Massed Bands BMC, Fairey's and Foden's MD: Harry Mortimer in 1966.
