Zvonimir Ciglič (February 20, 1921 – January 21, 2006) was a Slovenian composer, conductor and academic teacher.[1]
Biography
[edit]Ciglič was born in 1921 in Ljubljana. He was educated at the Ljubljana Academy of Music (to 1948), where he studied with Lucijan Marija Škerjanc and Danilo Švara; later he went to Salzburg where he worked on his conducting with Lovro von Matačić (1957).[1] He was the conductor of the Sarajevo Opera (1948–49) and later held a position at the Lamoureux Orchestra (1958–59). He also taught at the Subotica PO and Music School (1955–56), and later held various positions in Ljubljana.[1]
Compositions
[edit]Ciglič is known for his orchestral music, including three symphonies (1948, 1956), the symphonic poem Obrežje plesalk ("Dancer's Shore"; 1952) and the Harp Concertino (1960).[1] The Harp Concertino is described by Wolfgang Burde as "partly impressionistic and fleecy and partly in the tradition of lean melodiousness cultivated in French orchestral music".[2] He also wrote other instrumental works, as well as choral music and songs. According to Niall O'Loughlin in the composer's entry in Grove Music Online, his influences include Wagner and Debussy.[1]
He has been considered to fall into a "third modern generation" of Slovenian composers who began composing after the Second World War.[3]
