> Theorist, teacher, flutist, and tremendous human being Irna Priore passed
> away peacefully at Wake Forest University Baptist Hospital in
> Winston-Salem, North Carolina on 29 May 2014 after a heroic four-year
> struggle against Hurthle cell thyroid cancer. She has been a tenured
> Associate Professor of Music Theory at the University of North Carolina,
> Greensboro, since 2011.

> Irna Priore’s scholarly work addressed two important fields: music of the
> post–World War II European avant garde, especially that of Luciano Berio,
> and the popular music of her native Brazil. Her musical insights ranged
> beyond musical structures to consider the subversive valences of ostensibly
> apolitical music (Brazilian Bossa Nova), and her analyses revealed
> vestigial serialism in Berio’s nominally post-serial compositions. Priore
> was a prolific scholar, and her numerous works have appeared in such
> journals as Theoria, Theory and Practice, Analytical Approaches to World
> Music, and Indiana Theory Review. She served on several editorial boards,
> including the AAWM journal, and as a peer reviewer for the Journal of
> Schenkerian Studies, Journal of American Music, and others.
>
>
> Priore received grants to conduct research at the Paul Sacher Foundation
> in Basel, the International Institute of Darmstadt, RAI in Milan, Universal
> Edition in Vienna, and IRCAM in Paris. She was offered a Fulbright to
> collaborate on a history of IRCAM, but, alas, was too ill to accept. Other
> accomplishments that gave her particular satisfaction, both in 2011, were
> her delivery of the keynote speech at the international music theory
> conference “II Encontro Internacional de Teoria e Análise,” in Brazil, and
> the co-organization of a symposium and concert at UNCG on the music of
> Luigi Nono, the Italian Serialists, and Musical Modernism, with the
> participation of Nuria Schoenberg Nono.
>
>
> After her education in flute performance in São Paolo and at CUNY Queens
> College (MM 1990, DMA 1993), Irna Priore was a fellow at the Mannes
> Institute for Advanced Studies in Music (2001) and received her PhD in
> Music Theory from the University of Iowa with a Schenkerian dissertation on
> “the continuous 5,” advised by Thomas Christensen and Lawrence Fritts. She
> credited Christensen as “a great role model” to her. Prior to coming to
> UNCG as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in 2005, Priore taught theory
> and aural skills at the University of New Mexico and University of North
> Carolina School of the Arts, and at summer sessions at the University of
> Iowa. She was promoted to Associate Professor with permanent tenure at UNCG
> in 2011.
>
>
> A revered teacher with high expectations and a disarming demeanor, Irna
> Priore received student ratings of instruction that her colleagues envied,
> even as she encouraged and prompted students to excel in a field they
> initially found foreign and irrelevant. A quiet but unwavering voice for
> diversity in the department and in her discipline, she advocated for women
> and minorities who had the talent and interest, but perhaps not earlier
> encouragement or preparation. Her advocacy has helped change the face of
> music theory; here is one example: one of Irna’s protégées, who entered the
> MM Theory program against the advice of others, was the first to complete
> the program in only two years and has gone on to a PhD program (which UNCG
> does not offer) with a teaching assistantship. The department’s lecture
> series the year she co-organized it was the most diverse to date, and she
> gave a joint presentation on diversity in the field of Music Theory at the
> Indianapolis meeting in 2010. Shortly before her final hospitalization,
> Irna expressed her concern that others might not continue her advocacy for
> women and minorities.
>
>
> Irna always found time to cook for her friends and to serve her community,
> including such distinct contributions as counseling victims of domestic
> violence and coaching soccer. Her many friends and admirers include not
> only her colleagues at UNCG and in music theory, but also a loving circle
> of friends from her congregation: her spirited determination throughout her
> numerous diagnostics, treatments, recoveries, and relapses was buoyed by
> the love and prayers of her friends and their many acts of kindness.
>
>
> Irna Priore is survived by her spouse, Tadeu Coelho, Professor of Flute at
> UNC School of the Arts; their son Lucas Coelho—Irna’s proudest
> achievement—who has just completed his first year at MIT; her sister Nira
> Priore Nouak, teacher of dance in Frankfurt, Germany; and her father,
> Hercules Priore, architect of São Paolo.
>
>
> There will be a Celebration of Life ceremony on Monday, 2 June 2014, 3:00
> pm at Calvary Baptist Church 5000 Country Club Road Winston-Salem, North
> Carolina.  Irna requested that, in lieu of flowers, friends and family make
> memorial contributions to their choice of the Hispanic ministry of Calvary
> Baptist Church, Calvary Baptist Day School, or a Music Theory Scholarship
> in her name at UNCG.  A memorial scholarship fund has been established in
> Irna's name to support students who are studying music theory at UNCG.
> Please send checks made out to UNCG to: UNCG Advancement Services, PO Box
> 26170, Greensboro, NC 27402-6170, and please indicate that it is for the
> Dr. Irna Priore Memorial Scholarship Fund in Music Theory.
