Ruperto Chapí
Ruperto Chapí y Lorente (27 March 1851 – 25 March 1909) was a
Spanish composer, and co-founder of the Sociedad General de Autores y
Editores.

Chapí was born at Villena, the son of a Valencian barber. He trained in his
home town and in Madrid. He wrote a large number of symphonic, band,
choral and chamber works, as well as zarzuelas and operas, becoming,
alongside Tomás Bretón, a fellow pupil of Emilio Arrieta at the Madrid
Conservatory. He was one of the most popular and important composers
of his time. He wrote zarzuelas in all shapes and sizes, including the three-
act zarzuela grande and the one-act género chico forms. His most
Ruperto Chapí
celebrated work is La revoltosa, written in the latter style. Many of the
preludes to his zarzuelas (including those to El tambor de granaderos and
La patria chica) have remained staple items in Spanish orchestral concerts.

He died in Madrid in 1909.
