The Jesuit priest and musician Antoni Massana (1890-1966) is one of the most important Catalan composers of the first half of the 20th century, known as the "Noucentisme generation". Massana studied with renowned masters such as Granados, Marshall, Morera, Taltabull and Pedrell, and furthered his studies in Rome, where he graduated in Gregorian chant and sacred music and later obtained a doctorate in composition. He received several prizes such as the Flor Natural at the Barcelona Music Festival (1922) for his work Himne a la ciutat de Déu, the Patxot Prize (1925) for his oratorio Montserrat, the National Music Prize of Uruguay (1953) and the Palma de Mallorca Prize for his cantata Iuliana (1954). Antoni Massana's career, like that of many other composers, was affected by Franco's regime, which, in this case, saw his music used for political purposes with which he disagreed.

Aesthetically, Massana's work eschews avant-garde currents in favour of a late post-romanticism represented by Richard Strauss and the impressionism of Ravel and Debussy.
