> 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.
