Biography

Music has unlimited power. Composing music is to share your imagination, feelings and intelligence. The result should be more than you first imagined and beyond your own comprehension. The intangible mystery of your music will grow with every listener’s sensitivity, imagination and expectations.

Livia Teodorescu-Ciocănea

Livia Teodorescu-Ciocănea is a Romanian composer and concert pianist, who currently holds a full Professorship at the National University of Music Bucharest (since 2015), where she teaches composition, stylistics and poetics, forms and music analysis. Her numerous compositions and recordings are internationally acclaimed for their powerful vision, emotional impact and remarkable timbral refinements. Several musicological works (books and book chapters) have been published nationally while some of her referred articles have been accepted into leading international musicological journals. She won an Endeavour Award – Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (2008) - sponsored by the Australian Government and carried out at Monash University. Her project title was: East and West junction at the fundamental level of timbre. In 2017 she has been appointed as an Adjunct Associate Professor (Research) at the Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music, Monash University.

Teodorescu-Ciocănea’s present research areas focus on Spectralism, Timbre (Hypertimbralism), Composition strategies based on Timbre, Perception of Timbre, Spectral listening, Orchestral sound evaluation based on the spectral centroid position on the frequencies axis, Form and Process, Wave-particle duality of the Sound mental representation, “Golden age” of Romanian (Ștefan Niculescu and ), Byzantine music, and the interconnected styles in contemporary music (in relation to architecture, poetry, literature and visual arts).

Livia Teodorescu has established a long and fruitful collaboration with members of Monash University since 2001, writing numerous composition works for pianist Tamara Smolyar and engaging in musicological writings with dr. Joel Crotty. On several occasions, other staff members or collaborators of the Monash University joined the performance of Teodorescu’s , such as violinist Elisabeth Sellars, clarinetist David Griffiths and violinist Fintan Murphy, horn player Roman Ponomariov, sopranos Merlyn Quaife and Judith Dodsworth, pianist Len Vorster and Valencia Quartet: Lizzy Welsh (violin I), Kyla Matsuura-Miller (violin II), Clare Gorton (), Luke Severn ().

Livia Teodorescu-Ciocănea studied composition at the National University of Music, Bucharest with (Bachelor), Anatol Vieru and Octavian Nemescu (doctoral studies National University of Music Bucharest) and Margaret Lucy Wilkins (doctoral studies University of Huddersfield UK). She studied with Ana Pitiș (private lessons) and Ioana Minei at the National University of Music Bucharest and attended piano master classes, Bartók Seminar in Hungary (Szombathely) offered by Zoltan Kocsis and Imre Rohmann (1985).

She has written over 75 composition works in most of the musical genres, performed worldwide: the , , Germany, Hungary, , , Denmark, , Moldavia Republic, Estonia, Japan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Tasmania, Australia and the USA. Her symphonic and theatrical works have been performed primarily in Romania by major Bucharest-

3 based , such as the Philharmonic, National Opera Bucharest, Radio National , and the Radio Chamber Orchestra, but also by other state orchestras within the country and abroad. Over the years she has received several state and private commissions, and has been honoured with numerous awards, such as the Romanian Composers’ Union Award (2001, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2016) and the Romanian Academy Award G. Enescu (2006). In 2008 the Romanian Presidency has awarded her the title: Knight of the National Order Cultural Merit (2008). Her scores have been published by Editura muzicală (Romania), ArsPublica, (Italy) and Hoeflich (Germany). Commercial recordings of her music have featured on Toccata Classics (United Kingdom) and Move Records (Australia), and in Romania through , Casa Radio, Star Media Music and Eurostar.

Musicologist Ruxandra Arzoiu states in her Grove Music online entry on Teodorescu-Ciocănea that the composer’s music “explores spectralism, neo-impressionism and postmodernism to a powerful lyric and dramatic effect. Her interest in timbre and spectralism appears straightforward in most of her orchestral works yet preserving a powerful and indestructible structure. She manages to delineate form and structure through magic timbral alchemy, technique that she calls hypertimbralism. This original aesthetic, based on a philosophy of timbre where timbral layers are interconnected as a hypertext, is to be found in its most obvious expression in the composer’s concerti: Déesses de l’Air (2012) for solo and Flute Orchestra (commissioned and played by the famous French flutist Pierre Yves-Artaud and Orchestre de Français, premiered in 2012 in Paris), Rite for Enchanting the Air (1999) (premiered by Pierre-Yves Artaud with the University of Huddersfield Orchestra conducted by Barrie Webb in 2000 and in Romania in 2002 with the National Radio Orchestra conducted by British conductor Alan Tongue) and D’Amore (1997) – Concerto performed in 2000 by Eugen Glăvan with the George Enescu Philharmonic conducted by Cristian Mandeal.

More recent hyperspectral works include Mysterium tremendum (2016) for mezzo-soprano and orchestra (premiered by mezzo-soprano Antonela Bârnat and the String Quartet No. 2 Infloribus. Drama and lyricism in a modern vision are found in works such as Archimedes Symphony (2011/rev. 2017) performed by the National Radio Orchestra in 2011 and by the George Enescu Philharmonic in 2017, both conducted by Valentin Doni; Lebenskraft – Piano Concerto No. 2, dedicated to Australian pianist Tamara Smolyar (world premiere in 2008 with Smolyar and the Chamber Radio Orchestra in Bucharest; the revised version was performed by the composer in 2011 with the George Enescu Philharmonic conducted by Paul Nadler (Metropolitan Opera New York, USA) at the Romanian Athenaeum in Bucharest.

Livia Teodorescu’s symphonic works aim for monumentality in terms of drama, form and orchestration. Scored for full size orchestra and organ, her Archimedes Symphony (2011, rev. 2017) is a 40-minute long epic work, with non-interrupted four parts that are metaphorically imagined as a square inscribed in a circle. The circle is the “whole” that is “touched” by adjacent points of contact between each two sides of the square, that is two consecutive parts. All the parts of the symphony are connected through the same sound (high B, each time differently orchestrated), which represents the contact point of the circumscribed square with the circle.

Her new vocal-symphonic work (2018), Poppy Fields is a 5-part oratorio (45’) for soloists (mezzo- soprano, tenor and baritone) and orchestra, dedicated to the memory of those who fell in the First World War. The scenario proposes a framework for reflection on historical moments related to the Great War in Europe and Romania. The title of the work refers to the symbolic meaning that the poppies have acquired in connection with the First World War due to the famous poem "In Flanders Fields" written by Major John McCrae, military doctor and Canadian artillery commander.

Her full-length theatrical work Le Rouge et le Noir (three-act ballet based on Stendhal, 94 minutes) was commissioned and produced by the Romanian National Opera Bucharest in 2000, was formed a significant part of the repertoire for the next eight years. It “gained favour with the general audience via a modernism rooted in the classical style” (Grove Music Online). The composer asked for full orchestra, male choir and two opera singers (countertenor and soprano). In 2015 Livia Teodorescu completed her three-act opera The Lady with the dog after Chekhov (2 hours, 36 minutes) commissioned by the Romanian Composers and Musicologists Union. This major work is scored for full orchestra, choir and six soloists.

While mindful of the choral composition tradition, Teodorescu-Ciocănea also instils in her writing a spectral dimension. Her approach results in powerful contrasts of density and dynamics of the choral fabric: from hieratic monodic lines to densely chromatised sound blocks presented iso- rhythmically, polyphonically or heterophonically. One could acknowledge these stylistic features in works such as Oratio Sanctae Brigittae (2002) for SATB unaccompanied choir (published by ArsPublica, Italy, in 2016); Prunc luminous (Luminous Child) (2005), with lyrics by Vasile Voiculescu, for SATB unaccompanied choir; Vecernia (Vespers) (2015), for baritone solo and SATB unaccompanied choir, (Prologue from the opera The Lady with the Dog after Chekhov in Russian), and Prayer of Queen Marie for the Dead (2019) for mezzo-soprano solo, violin solo, organ and SATB choir version, (English translation by John McCaughey). All these works have been performed over the years by the Choir of the Astra Chamber Music Society in Melbourne, Australia, conducted by John McCaughey in various concerts as world or Australian premieres or on tours in Italy and Romania. While Oratio Sanctae Brigittae and Prunc luminous were given their premiere performances by the George Enescu Philharmonic Choir, conductor Iosif Ion Prunner.

Livia Teodorescu has written numerous works for solo piano, duet or piano duo. Much of her most recent piano music has been inspired by her collaboration with Australian pianist Tamara Smolyar, dating back to 2001. Since then, Smolyar has commissioned and premiered a number of the composer's piano works in Melbourne and at other venues around the world such as: Endeavour Bells (2008), Calypso (2013), Enceladus (2016), Briseis (2016), Aphrodite (2018), Berenice (2019 ) and Viva Beethoven (2020). In 2017, Teodorescu composed a two piano piece entitled Magna Mater – Cybele, premiered by the composer and Tamara Smolyar at the Romanian Athenaeum, Bucharest, in the same year. In 2019, Magna Mater – Cybele was selected and performed during the World Music Days Festival organized by the International Society of Contemporary Music – at the Tallinn Philharmonic hall, Estonia. Piano music written between 1986-2013 for piano solo, piano duet and piano duo performed by Smolyar (solo works) and the composer was released in 2019 through Toccata Classics (TOCC0488). https://d2vhizysjb6bpn.cloudfront.net/TOCC0448DIGIBKLT.pdf

Trio combinations of various instrumental formations have been a focus of her chamber music output, the most recent being: Moebius Loop (2019) for Flute, and Piano, Namagiri (2018) for , Violin and Piano; Entanglement (2019) for French Horn, and Viola. Songs form a significant part of Livia Teodorescu-Ciocănea’s oeuvre. Among her most often performed songs are: Autumn Gospels (2002) – lyrics by Nichita Stănescu; Chanson d'automne (2004) – lyrics by Paul Verlaine, and S'amor non è (2007) – lyrics by Petrarch, Sonneto no. 132.

As a concert pianist she has performed many classical and modern works of the solo and duo piano repertoire and has accompanied numerous vocal and instrumental recitals. She has played solo piano recitals (Chopin, Debussy, Schubert, Beethoven, Liszt, etc.) in Romania, Italy, France, and piano concerti with some Romanian Philharmonic (Bucharest, Galați, Timișoara, Bacău). She played for the first time in Romania two major works of Messiaen: Visions de l’Amen for 2 (with Luminița Berariu) and the piano solo part of the Turangalîla Symphony with the George Enescu Philharmonic lead by the French conductor Alain Pâris (2004). She gave piano and chamber music masterclasses at Monash University Melbourne Australia in 2008.

Teodorescu-Ciocănea’s CD, Frédéric Chopin (Electrecord, 2012) contains two Nocturnes, seven Waltzes and the four Ballades, recorded live at the Romanian Athenaeum on the occasion of the international festival Chopin 200 organised by the Polish Institute in Bucharest. Apart from her activity as a soloist or chamber music pianist, she worked for the Bucharest National Opera as maestro accompanist and vocal coach between 1985-2001.

Livia Teodorescu-Ciocănea has presented seminars about her compositions and conferences with her musicological works in the United Kingdom (1996, 1999), Norway (2005), USA (2003, 2005, 2006) and Australia (2008). She has been a visiting lecturer at the University of Illinois Urbana- Champaign, USA (2006), Oslo Academy of Music (2005) and Monash University Australia (2008).

As a musicologist, she has published three books: Musical Timbre - Composition Strategies (Editura muzicală, 2004); Treatise of musical Forms and analysis (Editura Muzicală, 2005 and Grafoart 2014); Streams of thought in the music of the 20th and 21st centuries (Editura Muzicală, 2015). She co-authored with Dr Joel Crotty two book-chapters (Editura Muzicală 2015, 2016); while her spectral research has appeared in Contemporary Music Review (22/1-2, 2003) and with Dr Joel Crotty in Journal of the International Society for Orthodox Church Music (1, 2014) and also with Crotty on Anatol Vieru’s theories and musical outcomes in Perspectives of New Music (to be published). Other writings include articles and proceedings of the George Enescu International Musicology Symposium (2009, 2011).

Notes by dr. Joel Crotty

"Livia Teodorescu-Ciocănea is a composer of powerful vision and imagination. Her compositional technique presents a significant advance on the overtone school, by richer and more fluid application… Her achievement is close to the work of a number of East European women composers, such as Gubaidulina". Nigel Osborne (British composer)

"Livia Teodorescu's music has a natural flow and engages the listener's attention throughout. …The result is music of sensitivity, beauty, intelligence and power" Margaret Lucy Wilkins (British composer)

Reviews (on Toccata Classics CD – Piano music by Livia Teodorescu-Ciocanea. Artists: Tamara Smolyar and Livia Teodorescu-Ciocănea)

“The piano, across all these pieces, speaks, in substantial part, in melodic, impressionistic terms. There is also a disruptive clangourous element that is both elementary disruptive and enigmatically complementary. …This composer’s music for piano is like a swiftly alternating rippling between stampede through a shop and a breathlessly delicate examination of the finest Meissen and Satsuma. It flickers between violence and enamoured appreciation.” Rob Barnett – MusicWeb International (UK)

“No missing, either, the opening of …Nocturniana, a piece originally written in 2010 and heard here in a version for two pianos created in 2013… Possibly the greatest compliment is that the magic of the original is maintained, harmonically complemented and expanded; the use of trills as an encrustation of the original’s coda is genius, and so beautifully

6 delivered here by the two ladies. There is another association at work here, suggested to the composer by the original Chopin, a Romanian poem by Eminescu, “Sleeping Birds”. Miraculous. … one has to praise both here for the strength and power of their vision and also for their technical security; throughout, one feels in the safest of hands. This well-recorded disc was a more than a pleasant surprise. Strong performances of music by a composer of the highest integrity. (Colin Clarke – Fanfare Magazine (USA)

“… there’s considerable variety here, from the alternately crystalline or deeply rumbling, even thunderous, spectrally- determined Endeavor Bells, to the Ragtime comedy of the Sonatina buffa (and a second, playful Ragtime appearance in the concerto’s concluding Con spirito); from Nocturniana’s hallucinatory Chopinesque fantasy, for which Teodorescu- Ciocǎnea plumbed the velvety depths of Chopin’s Nocturne in D♭ to retrieve pearls of atmospheric ornament with which to drape its undulating fabric, to the cheerful, even explosive, extroversion of the concerto’s outer movements and Calypso’s watery cascades; from the Sonatina for Solo Piano’s driving Con moto to the concerto’s leisurely, time- expanding, quasi-modal Adagio.” Robert Schulslaper – Fanfare Magazine (USA)
