Joaquim Zamacois

Joaquín Zamacois i Soler (14 December 1894, Santiago de Chile – 8 September 1976, Barcelona), was a Chilean-Spanish composer, music teacher and author.

Zamacois was born in Chile, but, being of Spanish descent, moved to Barcelona with his family. He began his musical career under the tutelage of his father, studying later at Conservatori Superior de Música del Liceu and at Escuela Municipal de Música of the same city. Then, he dedicated himself to composition. In 1914, he was named Professor at Liceu, and in 1940 at Escuela Municipal de Música, where he was the director in 1945, transforming it into a Conservatory. Zamacois is also known for his harmony treatise and various pedagogical texts, used in Spain and Latinamerican countries.
