December 5 - Osvaldo Golijov (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Series)

Osvaldo Golijov (b. 5 December 1960) is an Argentine composer of and music professor.  His accessible works have been widely admired, but as discussed below, he has been dogged a series of late or unfulfilled commissions, and discussions of plagiarism.

Living, but Late; or, Out of Commission


Osvaldo Golijov

  Was late with commissions,

And sometimes used music from

  Other musicians.


For Osvaldo Golijov,

  It might have been better

If contracts, once signed,

  Were fulfilled to the letter.
