'''''Il canto sospeso''''' (''The Suspended Song'') is a [[cantata]] for vocal soloists, choir, and orchestra by the Italian composer [[Luigi Nono]], written in 1955–56. It is one of the most admired examples of [[Serialism|serial]] composition from the 1950s, but has also excited controversy over the relationship between its political content and its compositional means.

==History==
The title ''Il canto sospeso'' may be literally translated as "The Suspended Song", though the word ''sospeso'' may also be rendered as "floating" or "interrupted". The title is actually taken from the Italian edition of a poem, "If We Die", by [[Julius and Ethel Rosenberg|Ethel Rosenberg]] who, together with her husband [[Julius Rosenberg|Julius]], was tried and convicted in the United States of espionage and of passing nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union. Their execution on 19 June 1953 caused outrage in Europe. The phrase in the English original is "the song unsung".{{sfn|Nielinger|2006|loc=87}}

Nono chose his texts from an anthology published in 1954 by [[Giulio Einaudi]] as ''Lettere di condannati a morte della Resistenza europea'', a collection of farewell letters written to loved ones by captured European resistance fighters shortly before their executions by the Nazis. The score is dedicated "a tutti loro" (to all of them).{{sfn|Nielinger|2006|loc=85}} The premiere was given under the direction of [[Hermann Scherchen]] in Cologne on 24 October 1956. Four years later, it was performed at the twenty-third Festival of Contemporary Music of the Venice Biennale under the direction of [[Bruno Maderna]].{{sfn|Mila|1975|loc=382}}{{sfn|Nielinger|2006|loc=83}} This Venice performance was recorded for the radio on 17 September 1960 and in 1988, nearly three decades later, became the first commercially released recording of ''Il canto sospeso''.

Four years after completing the work, Nono incorporated its entire fourth [[movement (music)|movement]] into his opera ''[[Intolleranza 1960]]''.{{sfn|Nielinger|2006|loc=83}}

==Scoring==
''Il canto sospeso'' is set for solo soprano, alto, and tenor voices, mixed choir, and an orchestra consisting of:

==Analysis==
[[File:Nono - Il Canto sospeso all-interval series.png|thumb|upright=1.4|[[All-interval twelve-tone row|All-interval]] "wedge" series used in ''Il canto sospeso'']]
The work is divided into nine movements with changing forces:
{{Ordered list|list_style_type=upper-roman|
|orchestra alone
|choir alone
|soprano, alto, and tenor soli, with orchestra
|orchestra alone
|tenor solo and orchestra
|choir and orchestra
|soprano solo and choir
|orchestra alone
|choir and timpani}}

The movements are grouped into three large segments of four, three, and two movements, marked by a short pause between groups.{{sfn|Mila|1975|loc=283}}

In its alternation of instrumental, choral, and solo movements, as well as in some internal details, ''Il canto sospeso'' resembles a [[Baroque music|Baroque]] [[cantata]] or mass setting. Although it is in no way a [[Neoclassicism (music)|neoclassical]] composition, the Darmstadt ideology to which Nono subscribed at the time shared with neoclassical aesthetics a commitment to the notions of purity, order, and objectivity.{{sfn|Fox|1999|loc=122–123}} Nono himself referred to the work as a "cantata".{{sfn|Nielinger|2006|loc=86}}

For its pitch material, ''Il canto sospeso'' employs an [[all-interval twelve-tone row]] sometimes called the "wedge" series because of its presentation of all the intervals within the octave in expanding order. It is a symmetrical series, whose retrograde is identical to the prime form transposed by a [[tritone]].{{sfn|Mila|1975|loc=384}}{{sfn|Bailey|1992|loc=281}}{{sfn|Fox|1999|loc=119, 121}})

==Reception==
''Il canto sospeso'' is regarded today as a "serial masterpiece", and is admired for the variety of ideas achieved with the compositional technique of [[serialism]],{{sfn|Nielinger|2006|loc=88–89, 136}} while at the same time the work's expressive content is considered to be unsurpassed by Nono's subsequent works.{{sfn|Fox|1999|loc=127}}

Although the premiere under [[Hermann Scherchen]]'s baton in Cologne on 24 October 1956 was a success, the direct reference to Nazi crimes was bound to be controversial at a time when such things were not generally spoken of in Germany.{{sfn|Nielinger|2006|loc=83}} [[Herbert Eimert]], reviewing the concert (on which it appeared in the company of [[Anton Webern]]'s opp. 6 and 10 orchestral pieces and [[Arnold Schoenberg]]'s ''Friede auf Erden''), declared that ''Il canto sospeso'' "probably left the most significant impression to date of any concert work of the young generation of composers today. ... This one work would be enough to legitimize the enigmatic 'legacy of [[Anton Webern|Webern]]' once and for all".<ref>{{harvnb|Eimert|1956}}, translated in {{harvnb|Nielinger|2006|loc=84–85}}</ref>

The choice of texts, however, provoked protracted dissension over the appropriateness of Nono's compositional means to its political content, particularly in the context of [[Theodor Adorno]]'s recently published "Das Altern der neuen Musik", which associated integral serialism with totalitarian regimes, and his famous phrase, "to write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric".{{sfn|Nielinger|2006|loc=83, 89}} Sides in the debate were largely along national lines, between West Germany and Italy. [[Heinz-Klaus Metzger]] attacked Nono as "a serial [[Hans Pfitzner|Pfitzner]]" who exploited such texts "in order to present them at the next important festival to the applause of a delighted bourgeoisie",{{sfn|Metzger|1980|loc=120–121}} while Massimo Mila defended Nono against Metzger's attack.{{sfn|Nielinger|2006|loc=92–93}}

In at least one case opposition to Nono's composition went beyond words. A [[Oktoberfest terror attack|terror bombing]] at the Munich [[Oktoberfest]] on 26 September 1980 killed 13 people and injured more than 200 others. It is believed to have been directed at the scheduled performance of ''Il canto sospeso'', which was cancelled as a result. The political message of the work, rather than its use of [[integral serialism]], is presumed to have been the provocation for the attack.{{sfn|Bailey|1992|loc=279–280}}

Though largely overshadowed by the political debate, various aspects of the composition have attracted a steady stream of analysts.{{sfn|Unger|1958}}{{sfn|Stockhausen|1958}}{{sfn|Mila|1960}}{{sfn|Smith Brindle|1961}}{{sfn|Ekbom|1962–63}}{{sfn|Gentilucci|1967}}{{sfn|Huber|1981}}{{sfn|Stoianova|1987}}{{sfn|Balázs|1987}}{{sfn|Bailey|1992}}{{sfn|Hercher|1997}}{{sfn|Fox|1999}}{{sfn|Motz|1996}}{{sfn|Motz|1999}}{{sfn|Hermann|2000}}{{sfn|Feneyrou|1993}}{{sfn|Feneyrou|2002}}{{sfn|Nielinger|2006}}{{sfn|Okuneva|2012}}
