The accomplishment of this concerto prompted commissions from various unmistakable soloists, including Nicanor Zabaleta, for whom Rodrigo committed his Concierto serenata for Harp and Orchestra, Julian Lloyd Webber, for whom Rodrigo made his Concierto como un divertimento for cello and ensemble, and James Galway, for whom Rodrigo created his Concierto pastoral for woodwind and symphony. In 1954 Rodrigo formed Fantasía para un gentilhombre at the appeal of Andrés Segovia. His Concierto Andaluz, for four guitars and ensemble, was charged by Celedonio Romero for himself and his three children.
None of Rodrigo's lives up to expectations, in any case, accomplished the famous and basic accomplishment of the Concierto de Aranjuez and the Fantasia para un gentilhombre. These two meets expectations are frequently combined in recordings.
He was granted Spain's most astounding honor for creation, the Premio Nacional de Música, in 1983. On 30 December 1991, Rodrigo was raised into the Spanish honorability by King Juan Carlos I with the innate title of Marqués de los Jardines de Aranjuez (English: Marquis of the Gardens of Aranjuez). He gained the prestigious Prince of Asturias Award—Spain's most astounding citizen honor—in 1996. He was named Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French government in 1998.
He wedded Victoria Kamhi, a Turkish-conceived piano player whom he had met in Paris, on 19 January 1933, in Valencia. Their little girl, Cecilia, was conceived on January 27, 1941. Rodrigo kicked the bucket in 1999 in Madrid at 97 years old, and his little girl succeeded him as Marquésa de los Jardines de Aranjuez. Joaquín Rodrigo and his wife Victoria are covered at the cemetery at Aranjuez.
His most well known work, Concierto de Aranjuez, was made in 1939 in Paris for the guitarist Regino Sainz de la Maza. In later life he and his wife announced that it was composed as a reaction to the unnatural birth cycle of their first child. It is a concerto for guitar and symphony. The focal adagio development is a standout amongst the most unmistakable in twentieth century traditional music, emphasizing the exchange of guitar with cor anglais. This development was later adjusted by the jazz arranger Gil Evans for Miles Davis' 1960 collection 'Representations of Spain'. The Concerto was adjusted by the author himself for Harp and Orchestra at the solicitation of Nicanor Zabaleta and devoted to Zabaleta.
Rodrigo's music is among the most well known music of the twentieth century. Specifically, his Concierto de Aranjuez is viewed as one of the apexes of the Spanish music and of the guitar concerto
