Juan Pascual Antonio Arrieta Corera (20 October 1821 – 11 February 1894), also known as Emilio Arrieta, was a Spanish composer. Arrieta was born in Puente la Reina, Navarre. His Italian musical training led him, under the favour of Queen Isabel II, to concentrate on operatic writing; and though he later composed zarzuelas, he remained less committed to the renascent art form than his contemporaries such as Francisco Asenjo Barbieri, who continued to write in an essentially Italianate style throughout his life. His zarzuela Marina, one of the most popular lyric stage works in the Spanish repertoire, has been produced and recorded both on CD and DVD many times. Arrieta died in Madrid, aged 70.

His other compositions consist of several sacred choral works and a number of symphonic pieces written in a style similar to his contemporaries Giacomo Puccini, Alberto Franchetti, and Pietro Mascagni.Born into poverty, Zuelli's early childhood was marred by the death of his parents at the age of three. He spent the next five years living with his maternal grandmother; surviving by working as a street performer, beggar, and thief. He spent some time in prison before the age of eight when he was ultimately placed in an orphanage in his native city of Reggio Emilia. There he received his initial musical training, and ultimately was able to train as a professional musician at the Liceo Musicale in Bologna with the aid of a wealthy benefactor.Upon completing his studies, he embarked on a career as a music teacher; working first at the newly established Institute of the Blind in Bologna from 1882-1886. He simultaneously had a busy career as an opera conductor from 1884 through 1889. In 1889 he was appointed director of the Civica Scuola Musicale in Forli and in 1894 he joined the faculty of the Palermo Conservatory. He served as director of the Palermo Conservatory from 1895 until January 1912 when he became director of the Parma Conservatory. He remained in that post until his announced retirement in 1829.

He studied with Walter Piston and Paul Hindemith and served as chairman of the department of music composition at Temple University for 23 years. Among his compositions are three symphonies, The Freak Show (a 1975 one-act opera), several string quartets and numerous piano sonatas. In December 1971 the Philadelphia Orchestra played the world premiere of his Symphony No. 2. He was married for many years to Louise Kemp, living with her in Jenkintown, PA until his death at Abington Memorial Hospital in 1987. They had three sons, Christopher, Andrew and Jonathan Taylor.His major works seemed to belonged to a school of thought among 20th century American composers, such as Aaron Copland and Leonard Bernstein, that was intent on writing music exhibiting strictly American styles, properties, and innovations. In fact, the sound of Clifford Taylor's music might indeed be mistaken for some by Copland, and it seems to have used similar compositional processes.
