Luciano Berio

Luciano Berio, Cavaliere di Gran Croce OMRI(October 24, 1925 – May 27, 2003) was an Italian composer. He is noted for his experimental work (in particular his 1968 composition Sinfonia and his series of virtuosic solo pieces titled Sequenza) and also for his pioneering work in electronic music.

Biography

Berio was born in Oneglia (now part of Imperia). He was taught the piano by his father and grandfather who were both organists. During World War II he was conscripted into the army, but on his first day he injured his hand while learning how a gun worked, and spent time in a military hospital. Following the war, Berio studied at the Milan Conservatory under Giulio Cesare Paribeni and Giorgio Federico Ghedini. He was unable to continue studying the piano because of his injured hand, so instead concentrated on composition. In 1947 came the first public performance of one of his works, a suite for piano. Berio made a living at this time accompanying singing classes, and it was in doing this that he met the American mezzo-soprano Cathy Berberian, whom he married shortly after graduating (they divorced in 1964). Berio wrote a number of pieces which exploit her distinctive voice.

    Part 2
    This is for all the homeboys who couldn't get their happy home
    As long as one of us got it some of us got it
    Stay down for me, hold on
    [Verse 1:]
    Sometimes you made me feel like I wasn't good enough for you
    So I punished us both and didn't stay true
    So much pain I know I've caused you
    Truly I'm sorry every day that I'm away girl
    Things went down that just don't make sense
    Time and place is all now irrevelant
    Cause I'm still thinking about the love that's gone
    Morning, cooking breakfast back at home
    [Chorus:]
    I never meant for this to end
    But we couldn't just let it go again
    We broke up, it's been years and we can't turn back
    But I still remember my happy home, home, home
    [2Pac:]
    Goin' through hard times, ghetto child of mine
    I wonder if you have to suffer for your father's crimes
    To be honest, it's a hard role just to keep up your faith in God
    Knowing you'll get scared though
    Look at him walking and talking, a little child with my eyes and mouth
    Father watch over little seeds, help me guide them out
    Had to change my whole lifestyle
    Married my baby's momma, made her my wife now
    I'm tryin' hard y'all, maybe in time I'll be a better man
    Watching older couples, handle it like veterans
    Show me the meaning of forever and together we rise
    If it'll help our child grow then together we die
    Why question my love, it's so easy to see
    Without my family all I'm left with is a shadow of me
    After all the arguments and the nights alone
    Now it's time to live the good life
    [Chorus]
    [Verse 2:]
    I wonder what you must feel like now you know
    That I'm having a seed with someone else
    I didn't plan it to be this way
    But things happen with time
    And you know, time don't wait for nobody baby Oh, now I gotta handle my responsibility
    Even though you still mean so much to me
    Baby I can't say enough that I'm sorry
    Oh, I never meant
