Miracle of Marcelino
Miracle of Marcelino ("Marcelino, bread and wine") is a 1955 Spanish film written by José Maria Sanchez-Silva, based on his novel, and directed by Ladislao Vajda.
It starred Rafael Rivelles, Juan Calvo (who also starred together as Don Quixote and Sancho Panza in the 1947 Spanish film version of Cervantes's "Don Quixote" and the young child star Pablito Calvo (no relation to Juan) as Marcelino.
The musical score and theme song - sung in full during the action, rather than at the start of the film - are by Pablo Sorozábal.
The story, revised and modernised in both the book and film, dates back to a medieval legend, one of many gathered together in a volume by Alfonso el Sabio.
It was a critical and commercial success, and other countries have produced versions of it.
Pablo Sorozábal
Pablo Sorozábal Mariezcurrena (18 September 1897 – 26 December 1988) was a Spanish composer of zarzuelas, symphonic works, and the popular "romanzaNo puede ser".
He was born in San Sebastián, in a working-class family.
Trained in San Sebastián, Madrid and Leipzig; then in Berlin, where he preferred Friedrich Koch as composition teacher to Arnold Schönberg, whose theories he disliked.
It was in Germany that he made his conducting debut, and the rostrum remained at the centre of his working life.
His Leipzig concert works include the choral "Suite vasca" (1923); "Dos apuntes Vascos" (1925) and "Symphonic Variations on a Basque Theme" (1927); of later works the funeral march "Gernika" for chorus and orchestra (1966) is outstanding.
The "Siete Lieder", 1929 settings of Heinrich Heine for mezzo-soprano and orchestra, are perhaps the finest works he produced in Germany.
Two short but powerful compositions for chorus and orchestra, "Maite" (‘Our Lady’, from the 1946 film "Jai-Alai") and "¡Ay, tierra vasca!"
(1956) retain their place in the hearts of his Basque countrymen.
"Katiuska" (1931) was his stage debut, and the twenty or so zarzuelas which followed combine lyric fire and inimitable orchestration with an unfailing sense of theatre.
Best-loved are his classic "madrileño" comedy "La del manojo de rosas" (1934) and the “nautical romance” set on the Atlantic Coast
"La tabernera del puerto" of 1936.
Sorozábal’s liberal sympathies left him somewhat isolated after the Spanish Civil War, and many of his later zarzuelas were first seen outside the capital or in less prestigious Madrid theatres.
They include the ambitious, allegorical romance "Black, el payaso" (1942) and the ski-sports musical "Don Manolito" (1943), both of which starred popular Basque soprano Pepita Embil.
Sorozábal also wrote scores for non-musical films, notably the classic Spanish film "Marcelino Pan y Vino" (1955).
His tenure as director of the Madrid Symphony Orchestra ended abruptly in 1952 when he was refused permission to conduct Shostakovich’s Leningrad Symphony; and though his musical comedy "Las de Caín" was premiered at the Teatro de la Zarzuela in 1958, the opera "Juan José" had to wait for its belated (and highly successful)
concert premiere until February 2009, after a full production was suspended during rehearsals in Madrid during 1979.
With his death in Madrid on 26 December 1988 the last chapter in the creative history of the romantic zarzuela came to an end.
Sorozábal’s theatrical vitality, musical wit and dramatic force are second to none in the history of zarzuela and rival the best of his German and Italian music theatre contemporaries, such as Kurt Weill.
