Mozart Camargo Guarnieri
Mozart Camargo Guarnieri (born February 1, 1907 in Tietê , † January 13, 1993 in São Paulo ) was a Brazilian composer.
Life
The son of an Italian immigrant had his first piano lessons at the age of ten with Virgínio Dias . In 1923 he came to São Paulo, where he attended the Conservatório Dramático e Musical de São Paulo , continued his piano training with Sá Pereira and Ernani Braga and studied composition and conducting with Lamberto Baldi .
In 1928 Guarnieri met Mário de Andrade , who had a decisive influence on his further work by introducing him to Brazilian folklore. In 1938 he won a study trip to Paris as an award for his work Flor de Tremembé . There he studied counterpoint, composition and musical aesthetics with Charles Koechlin , orchestral direction with Franz Rühlmann and was a student of Nadia Boulanger .
In the 1940s Guarnieri stayed several times in the USA, where he performed his works. In 1950 he published the Carta Aberta aos Músicos e Críticos do Brasil ( Open Letter to the Musicians and Critics of Brazil ), in which he critically examined the twelve-tone technique represented by Hans-Joachim Koellreutter and the group Musica viva and a profound discussion in the Brazilian Cultural scene.
Since 1945 Guarnieri was a member of the Academia Brasileira de Música . In 1960 he became director of the Conservatório Dramático e Musical in São Paulo . He also taught at the University of São Paulo, where he founded the university orchestra in 1975. His students included u. a. Osvaldo Lacerda and Almeida Prado .
In 1992 he was awarded the Gabriela Mistral Prize by the Organization of American States and received the title "Greatest Contemporary Composer of the Three Americas".
