Nights in the Gardens of Spain (Spanish: Noches en los jardines de España), G. 49, is a piece of music by the Spanish composer Manuel de Falla. Falla was Andalusian and the work refers to the Hispano-Arabic past of this region (Al-Andalus).
In the years leading up to World War I Falla was living in Paris where he began this work as a set of nocturnes for solo piano in 1909. On the suggestion of the pianist Ricardo Viñes he turned the nocturnes into a piece for piano and orchestra. The influence of French composers such as Debussy and Ravel can be seen in the music.[1] Falla returned to Spain when the war began, and completed the work in 1915. He dedicated it to Viñes.
