Antonio José (12 December 1902 – 11 October 1936) was a Spanish composer. He was born Antonio José Martínez Palacios in Burgos, but later dropped his surnames. He became a music teacher at a Jesuit school, and conducted the city choir in Burgos. His friends included Federico García Lorca and Salvador Dalí. Maurice Ravel apparently said of Antonio José: “He will become the Spanish composer of our century.” Nevertheless, Antonio José’s music lay forgotten until the 1980s.

His most famous work is the Sonata for guitar. Antonio-José met the same fate as Lorca - he was executed by a Falangist firing squad in 1936 at Estepar (Burgos). User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License and may also be available under the GNU FDL..
