José Serrano (composer)

José Serrano (composer)

José Serrano (14 October 18738 March 1941) was a Spanish composer of zarzuelas. He was born in Sueca, Valencia, Spain.

His most famous works include "La dolorosa" ("The Pained One") and "La canción del olvido" ("The song of forgetting"). Serrano’s works tend to be simple popular theater but filled with dramatic emotion. He is considered the musical progeny of Federico Chueca, and the influence of Giacomo Puccini and Italian "verismo" is evident in many of his works.

Serrano died in Madrid at age 67.
