  Abstract:  Bruno Maderna was one of the most appreciated composers and conductors of his time. Maderna’s opera covers a wide range of sonorities and combinations of vocal and instrumental groups: piano and voice, chamber orchestra and voice, double orchestra with soloists and chorus, orchestra and piano, orchestra and solo wind instruments, orchestra groups and percussion, violin concerts, orchestra and electronic music, pure orchestral pieces, music for radio, film and ballet. Maderna’s musical language and structure follow the path of his colleagues and involve a complex harmony. However, his vocal idiom has consistency in the melody, clarity in the harmony and uses defined phrases. The vocal score, especially in the lied, presents a relatively simple form, but structured upon the modern musical thought. The lyrical phrase along with the contemporary pattern and the traditional forms are general characteristics of Maderna’s opera.
