Biography

Miereanu was born in Bucharest and studied at the Music Academy there from 1960 to 1966 with Alfred Mendelsohn, Tiberiu Ola, Ștefan Niculescu, Dan Constantinescu, Myriam Marbe, Aurel Stroe, Anton Vieru, and Octavian Lazăr Cosma, and later at the École des Hautes Études et Sciences Sociales, at the Schola Cantorum, and at Paris 8 University Vincennes-Saint-Denis, where he was awarded first prizes in writing, analysis, music history, esthetics, orchestration, and composition) and earned a Doctor of Letters and a Doctor of Musical Semiotics. Between 1967 and 1969, he was a student of Karlheinz Stockhausen, György Ligeti, and Ehrhard Karkoschka at the Internationale Ferienkurse für neue Musik in Darmstadt. [1] In 1977, he became a French citizen. Since 1981, he has been Professor of Philosophy, Aesthetics, and the Science of Art at the Sorbonne.

Miereanu evolved his compositional style featuring a sensuous sonic fabric by combining of Erik Satie's techniques with an abstraction of Romanian traditional music. [1] Many of his complex and often virtuoso works include visual components. Miereanu has composed aleatoric works, compositions in the style of musique concrète, music for orchestra and chamber orchestra, often using pre-recorded tape material, as well as music for theatre. He was awarded the prize of the European Cultural Foundation 1967, the Prix Enescu (1974), and the Prix de la Partition Pédagogique of the French Composers’ Association (SACEM).

Though his style has varied considerably throughout his career, his music has often included repeatedly evolving melodies—such as the infinity series—in the vein of Jean Sibelius, and a perspicuous focus on lyricism. Reflecting on this, the composer Julian Anderson described his style as "one of the most personal in contemporary music".
