Joaquín Rodrigo (born on November 22, 1901) was blind from the age of three but went on to become one of the most popular composers of the 20th century known especially for his contribution to guitar music, an instrument he never mastered.
Rodrigo has left us some 70 songs for voice and piano, 10 songs with guitar accompaniment, and a number of songs for voice and instrumental ensemble. IPA Source provides the translation and IPA for 54 of his public domain song texts and his Zarzuela, El hijo fingido.
