Did the Spanish Civil War inspire any Classical Composers?

Question by doolindalton13: Did the Spanish Civil War inspire any Classical Composers of the time?
I’ve just discovered Shostakovich, who was inspired by world war II and the soviet union. i am curious to know if there are any such composers for the Spanish Civil War because it was so destructive and in many ways a rehearsal for WWII shortly after

Don’t think so. Most Spanish composers were either indifferent or even sympathetic with the Nationalist side. A guy by the name of Juan Telleria wrote Cara al Sol (Face the Sun), the Fascist hymn during the war. The most prominent anti-Fascist composer, Manuel de Falla, was forced to emigrate to Argentina, but never wrote anything directly linked to the war. As for the foreign guys, many talked a lot or formed art groups supporting the Republicans, but as far as I know nobody wrote anything worth remembering.
