In 1920, two years after Debussy’s death, the editor of La Revue Musicale planned a special memorial issue. He asked prominent musicians to contribute articles and short pieces. Falla did both. His guitar work was premiered in Paris on 24 January 1921.
Later, Falla orchestrated it as the second movement of the suite Homenajes (Homages, 1938-39), comprising five brief pieces, each of which was dedicated to an important person in Falla’s life. The Falla’s grave and dignified Elegy, cast in the rhythm of the habanera, also includes specific references to the music of his dedicatee. There are hints of Debussy’s Ibéria. Toward the end Falla quotes the French composer’s Soirée dans Grenade, in which Debussy beautifully captured the spirit of the Spanish city that he had never visited.
