Life & Legacy
Honorio Siccardi (13 September 1897 – 10 September 1963) was an Argentine composer, pianist, and teacher. He was associated with the Buenos Aires–based Grupo renovación (1929–1944), a circle linked to the International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM).
His works include compositions for piano, voice, chamber ensembles, orchestra, and opera. Scholarship describes his musical language as combining neoclassical traits with modernist procedures, including occasional use of twelve-tone techniques, and employing wide chromaticism that has been interpreted as a form of "virtual atonality". In part of his catalogue, he also drew on topics derived from Argentine popular and folk music.
