    Ugarte, Floro M(elitn)


    (b Buenos Aires, 15 Sept 1884; d Buenos Aires, 11 June 1975). Argentine composer and teacher. He received his earliest musical training from Hercules Galvani (violin) and Cayetano Troiani (harmony) in Buenos Aires. Later, he attended the Paris Conservatoire, where he studied harmony with Pessard and Lavignac and counterpoint, orchestration and composition with Flix Fourdrain. After completing his education in 1913, he returned to Buenos Aires, where he held various teaching positions, including professorships at the Conservatorio Nacional de Msica and the Universidad Nacional de La Plata. He served as a member of the Comisin Nacional de Bellas Artes and as president of the Sociedad Nacional de Msica (later the Asociacin Argentina de Compositores). He had a longstanding association with the Teatro Coln, serving on its board of directors (19247) and acting as technical director (1930) and general director (193743, 1946, 1956) of the theatre. Ugarte is recognized as one of the leading composers of his generation and a principal proponent of Argentine musical nationalism. His early works show traces of French Impressionism; later, he infused his style and melodic, rhythmic and harmonic suggestions derived from Argentine folk music. His works of the 1940s and beyond reveal an abstract compositional approach, avoiding overt folkloric references. Ugarte composed in all genres. His one-act fairy-tale opera, Saika (1918), and his indigenous ballet, El junco (1944), both received performances at the Teatro Coln. His Violin Sonata (1928) stands as one of the most important works of the Argentine chamber music repertoire. His charming song, Caballito criollo (1928) reveals a potent use of national idioms and expressive capabilities within a concentrated form. WORKS
