Timeline

1931

Donald James Martino (May 16, 1931 – December 8, 2005) was a Pulitzer Prize winning American composer.

Born in Plainfield, New Jersey, Martino attended Plainfield High School.

He began as a clarinetist, playing jazz for fun and profit.

He attended Syracuse University, where he studied composition with Ernst Bacon, who encouraged him in that direction.

He then attended Princeton University as a graduate student, where he worked with composers Roger Sessions and Milton Babbitt.

He also studied with Luigi Dallapiccola in Italy as a Fulbright Scholar.

He became a lecturer and teacher himself, working with students at Yale University, the New England Conservatory of Music (where he became chair of the composition department), Brandeis University, and Harvard University.

1950

Martino presented Milton Babbitt with at least two musical birthday cards: B,a,b,b,i,t,t on his 50th birthday and Triple Concerto on his 60th.

Many of the instrumental pieces have extensive doublings, such as flute/piccolo/alto flute.

Principal publishers: Ione, Dantalian, McGinnis & Marx.

1974

He won the Pulitzer Prize for music in 1974 for his chamber work Notturno.

1991

In 1991, the journal Perspectives of New Music published a 292-page tribute to Martino.

2005

Martino died in Antigua in 2005.

2007

A memorial concert was held at the New England Conservatory on May 8, 2007.

2009

A recording of the concert was released by Navona Records in 2009.

Most of Martino's mature works (including pseudo-tonal works such as Paradiso Choruses and Seven Pious Pieces) were composed using the twelve-tone method; his sound world more closely resembled the lyrical Dallapiccola's than his other teachers'.

The pianist Easley Blackwood commissioned Martino's sonata Pianississimo, explicitly requesting that it be one of the most difficult pieces ever written.

The resulting work is indeed of epic difficulty, but has been recorded several times.

(Blackwood declined to perform it.)
