Biography
José Gonzalo Zulaica (San Sebastián, Spain, 1886–1956), better known by his pen name Aita Donostia (Father Donostia or Father San Sebastian, because he was a priest born in San Sebastian, Donostia in the Basque language), was a Basque musicologist and composer.[1] He was also known as José Antonio de Donostia.[2]
From 1936 to 1943 he was in exile in France.
His most popular work is the Basque Preludes, a set of fifteen piano pieces inspired by Basque traditional music, arranged in a very romantic way, that reminds Robert Schumann's and Edvard Grieg's styles.
