Martino, Donald

Martino, Donald
▪ 2006

      American composer and professor (b. May 16, 1931, Plainfield, N.J.—d. Dec. 8, 2005, at sea in the Caribbean en route to Antigua), created works that were distinctly Modernist, atonal, intellectual, and complex but had elements of compositional freedom, energy, and lyricism that attracted professional musicians and concertgoers alike. His chamber work Notturno was awarded the 1974 Pulitzer Prize in music. Martino taught at a variety of institutions, including the Third Street Music School Settlement in New York City and Princeton, Yale, Brandeis (Waltham, Mass.), and latterly (1983–93) Harvard universities.
