ABSTRACT
Founder of the Uruguayan Conservatoire (1907) and of the Asociacion de Musica de Camara (Chamber Music Association) of Uruguay in 1910, Fabini studied in Montevideo and later in Brussels, where he specialized in composition. His work employs impressionistic techniques in adapting themes from Uruguayan folk music. Outstanding among his works are the symphonic poems Campo (Countryside) (1929) and La isla de los ceibos (Island of the Ceiba trees) (1925), his ballets Mburucuya (1932) and Manana de Reyes (Morning of Epiphany) (1937) as well as choral works and pieces for piano and guitar.
