Rodrigo's daughter (Cecilia, who is alive and who takes care of Ediciones Musicales Rodrigo) was born on 1941. Actually, the work is inspired to the gardens of Aranjuez, the Summer residence of Spanish kings, where also Domenico Scarlatti was a guest. Rodrigo's music has much to be understood in terms of the "aural landscape" - a definition created by a Spanish poet - and it has been the object of an essay by Raymond Calcraft, which establishes a sort of brotherhood between the composer and another Joaquin, the Spanish painter Sorolla. If you really want to appreciate the poetical square "Concierto de Aranjuez", when going to Madrid, visit the Museo Sorolla - easy to find, it is the house of the painter - and you will catch the point.
