Eduardo Morales Caso

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eduardo Morales Caso (born March 10, 1969, in Havana), is a Cuban composer.

Biographical notes

Eduardo Morales Caso has consolidated a position as a prominent figure within the contemporary musical composition, with an international artistic trajectory. The ample catalogue of his works and his biographic profile has been catalogued in the Iberoamerican Dictionary of Music (Diccionario Iberoamericano de la Música): "The songs of Eduardo Morales are included in the best of a compositional tradition that comes from the great composers of the last century Cuban composers... careful structural development, notable lyric flow, strong dramatic accent, achieving a total correspondence between the sound background and the "ethos" of the lyrics.[1]

Formation and musical career

He began his musical formation studying accordion, which he substitutes by the piano and clarinet upon joining the Conservatory, always keeping a clear vocation toward composition. In 1988 he is accepted at the Superior Institute of Art (ISA) of Havana, where he graduated in 1994 as a Graduate in Music with a major in Composition. He studied with Carlos Fariñas, Joaquín Clerch, Victoria Eli, Marta Cuervo and Harold Gramatges, among others.

After serving for some time as a professor of harmony, musical analysis, and counterpoint at ISA, in 1996 he received a scholarship to continue studies at the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Madrid under the guidance of professor Antón García Abril, to whom he dedicated as an homage his first symphonic piece: Los ojos del Guadiana and Especulaciones I, II, III for flute, clarinet and bassoon trio.

During the year 2000 he obtains a Doctorate in Music from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, under the guidance of the Spanish professor and composer José Peris Lacasa. He currently lives in Spain where he works as a professor and composer.

He is a member of SGAE and participates in the Talea group, a society of young composers that live in Spain, dedicated to the promotion of contemporary music.

His works have been premiered and performed in the VI, VII, VIII y IX, Festival de La Habana, Festival de Música y Danza de Granada, Madrid, Barcelona, Valladolid, Mexico, Switzerland, Canada, Colombia, France, Japan and Holand.
