Nova (Sondag), Jacqueline(b Ghent, 6 Jan 1935; d Bogotá, 13 June 1975). Colombian composer of Belgian origin. She studied with Fabio González-Zuleta, Olav Roots and Blas Emilio Atehortúa at the Bogotá Conservatory, graduating in composition. She is considered one of the finest Colombian composers of the 20th century and a progressive exponent of trends that dominated contemporary music in the 1960s, including aleatory and electronic techniques. One of the first Latin American women to obtain international acclaim for her compositions, she won a first prize in Caracas in 1966 for the chamber work Doce móviles (subsequently published by Pan American Union). Her Metamorfosis III (1966) was given its première by the Colombia SO, conducted by Roots. In 1967 she was awarded a scholarship for two years’ study at the Di Tella Institute, Buenos Aires, where she studied with Ginastera and Nono. Several works were first performed in Buenos Aires, including Asimetrías (1967), conducted by Armando Krieger, the electronic work Oposición-fusión (1968) and Cantos de la creación del mundo (1972; performed by Nueva Música), which was later performed in France (1973). The oratorio Hiroshima (1972) was commissioned by Colcultura. (C. Barreiro Ortiz, ed.: A proposito de Jacqueline Nova, Bogotá, 1983) WORKS(selective list)
SUSANA FRIEDMANN Nova, Vangjo(b Korça, 27 Jan 1927; d Jannina, Greece, 6 Jan 1992). Albanian composer and choral conductor. After early guitar lessons, he studied harmony and solfège with Trako at the Jordan Misja Art Lyceum, Tirana (1946–51), and counterpoint with Zadeja (1951–3). He was assistant to Trako as conductor of the State Chorus, and later assistant conductor of the Albanian Philharmonia and the Opera. From 1972 until his retirement in 1983 he taught harmony and solfège at the Jordan Misja Art Lyceum. Along with Trako and Uçi, Nova played an important role in the early development of socialist Albania's musical life, composing everything from songs and choruses to stage music and cantatas. His music is simple, tuneful and rarely devoid of charm, even when having recourse to easily recognizable models, such as Rachmaninoff and Grieg in Tarracat e bregdetit (‘Citrus Groves over the Seashore’, 1969), one of his most renowned works. His opera Heroina was staged to considerable acclaim for the inauguration of the Tirana Theatre of Opera and Ballet in 1967. WORKS(selective list)

Hungarian violinist and composer, of Czech descent. He studied successively with his father Martin Joseph Nováček, with Jakob Dont in Vienna (1880–83) and with Schradieck and Brodsky at the Leipzig Conservatory, where he won the Mendelssohn Prize in 1885. He played in the Gewandhaus Orchestra and in the Brodsky Quartet, originally as second violin and later as viola. He subsequently emigrated to the USA, where he was a member of the Boston SO under Nikisch (1891) and was appointed principal viola in the New York Symphony Society Orchestra (1892–3); he also played in the re-formed Brodsky Quartet. In 1899 a heart condition forced him to retire from playing. His works include a piano concerto (1894, first performed by Busoni), Perpetuum mobile for violin and orchestra, three string quartets (published in 1890, 1898 and 1904), eight Concerto caprices and other works for violin and piano, and six songs to texts by Tolstoy.
