  [sc-users] OT Luciano Berio dies at 77
Berio's love for music was exuberantly promiscuous, and it drew him close to Italian opera (especially Monteverdi and Verdi), 20th-century modernism (especially Stravinsky), popular music (the Beatles, jazz), the great Romantic symphonists (Schubert, Brahms, Mahler) and folk songs from around the world.
Berio was using his own music in the ways he often used others' music, as material to be analyzed, explored, imitated and developed.
Berio's first composition for the theater, "Passaggio," had its premiere at the Piccola Scala in Milan in 1963 and was a provocative expression of its sole female character's subjection to social pressures.

Berio has held a number of prestigious teaching positions including Tanglewood (1960 and 1982), the Summer School in Dartington (1961 and 1962), Mills College in California (1962 and 1963), Darmstadt, Cologne, Harvard University, and the Juilliard School (1965-1975).
Although Berio has explored many musical styles, including serialism, electronic technology, and indeterminancy, it is his treatment of language and a strong sense of theater that is the most remarkable aspect of his music.
The use of live electronics, the computer, the study of spatial dynamics, the dividing of the microintervals down to a sixteenth of a tone, are all aspects of research that have as their objective the discovery of other paths, of unexpected aural experiences which at times fade out mysteriously towards the limit of audibility.

luciano berio's sequenzas are a group of 14 solo modern music compositions (words to scare anyone off) for differnt instruments that span the lenght of the composer's career and are often seen as building blocks for his larger pieces.
berio's sequenzas can almost be listened to as a review of various 20th century movements in other art forms.
however, berio is somewhat more approachable, especially compared to someone as academic as boulez; there is almost an improvisatory feel to some of these pieces which is both attractive and gripping and not meant as criticism or to imply any absence of depth.

 Amazon.com: Berio: Sinfonia; Ekphrasis: Music: Luciano Berio,Peter Eotvos,Göteborgs Symfoniker,Per Enoksson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Berio's Sinfonia is one of the most special compositions in the last decades, specially the famous third movement, even all of them are very remarkable because of the use of voice in a quite microtonal way.
Berio wanted to do of that movement a kind of personal creed of his debts with music, of those he loved and admired so much, and who have on Mahler the guide, a kind of boat that travels to Cyther full of music inside of his body.
Mahler is an example for Berio (like he was for many other composers in the XXth Century, many of them Italian, like Maderna or Nono), and what Berio really loves in Mahler is his great capacity for put together different music, Mahler had on his mind as the conductor of the Vienna Opera he was.

Berio was born in Oneglia (now Borgo d'Oneglia, a small village 3 km N of Imperia).
In the third movement of the piece Berio takes the third movement from Mahler's Symphony No. 2 and has the orchestra play a slightly cut-up and shuffled around version of it.

 Splendid: Departments: File Under ?
Dissatisfied with the students' conservatively written compositions (none more so than mine at the time, I am ashamed to say), Rands held up Berio as an antidote; studying his scores and recordings became a way to absorb the many extended techniques and approaches of modernity and post-modernity.
Perhaps Berio's most famous orchestral composition, this work features the composer's interest in deconstructing music from the past and his fondness for juxtaposing different musical styles within the same piece.
Instead, Berio demonstrated a capacity to find new ways to venerate and utilize earlier music, and he balanced innovation with a reverence for the idiomatic capabilities of instruments and voices alike.

 [Othermindsforum] June 5-sfSoundSeries: Omaggio a Berio
Luciano Berio (1925-2003) was one of the extraordinary voices of the Darmstadt generation.
Perhaps the most historically-minded member of that group, some of his greatest compositions are postmodern collages and recontextualizations of older works (including Mahler's 2nd Symphony in "Sinfonia" and Schubert's unfinished Tenth Symphony in "Rendering").
Drawing inspiration from Berio's own interpretation of music history, the musicians of the sfSoundGroup have devised a creative, yet appropriate way to pay homage to the late and great italian master.
