Timeline

2016

González moved to the United States in 1971 and studied composition at the Peabody Institute. He was a student of Earle Brown and Robert Hall Lewis, and completed a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in 1977. In 1978 he received a Guggenheim Fellowship. He returned to San Juan, Argentina, in 1980, and taught music theory and composition at the Universidad Nacional de San Juan between 1980 and 1982. In 1983 he was hired by the College of Music at the University of Colorado Boulder to teach music theory and composition. He taught there until he retired in 2004. He received an Emeritus Professor designation shortly after. He died on February 3, 2016 in Longmont, Colorado.

All printed scores and manuscripts of his works, as well as personal correspondence, were donated to the Special Collections of the American Music Research Center at the University of Colorado Boulder in 2016.

1975

His works received many national and international awards, including first prizes at the Composition Competition of the Percussive Arts Society (1975 and 1979), third prize at the Wieniawski Composition Competition, a prize from the Premio di Composizione Sinfonica Cittá di Trieste, Italy (1978), and awards from the Fondo Nacional de las Artes (Argentina), Trinac (Tribuna Nacional de Compositores, Argentina), International Society of Bassists (1997 and 2002). He received a Special Mention from the National Composition Prize in Argentina in 2004. Critic Phillip Scott described González's music "genuine" in a review of the CD Las Puertas del Tiempo in the magazine Fanfare.

1970

Starting in the late 1970s, González gradually moved away from the musical avant-garde. Many of his works in the 1980s and 1990s, such as Illariy (Alborada) for flute and orchestra, and Inti-Raymi for orchestra, use titles in the Quechuan language, and show an interest in exploring magic realism and themes related to the Indian cultures of South America. Later on, in the late 1990s until his death in 2016, his music gravitated towards the tango genre of Argentina. Most of his works after 2000, such as Tangos del Puerto (2000-2002) for string quartet and Luces de Medianoche (2003-2004) for piano, are almost exclusively inspired by the musical and affective features of tango in a tonal style that is often dark and nostalgic. The tango felt very natural to González; it provided opportunities to develop his interest for minor keys, counterpoint, melodic bass lines, harmonic tension and drama. After 2004 he collaborated closely with pianist Alejandro Cremaschi, who premiered and recorded many of his late solo piano and chamber pieces.
