Bego-Šimunić, Anđelka

(b Sarajevo, 23 October 1941). Bosnian-Herzegovinan composer of Croatian descent. She studied composition with Brkanović and Miroslav Špiler at the Sarajevo Music Academy before taking a masters degree there in 1973. After teaching theory at the secondary music school in Sarajevo, in 1975 she joined the staff of the academy, where she was later made assistant (1985) and then full professor. She was president of the Bosnian composers’ association (1986-92) and one of the principal organizers of the Bosnian festival «Days of Musical Creation». Her music is neo-classical in its Prokofiev-like extended tonality and treatment of form but it also contains neo-romantic elements (e.g. the Lisztian rhetoric of the melody) and early Expressionist features (e.g. the vertical dissonances of the chordal structure). Occasionally, her works make use of Bosnian folklore (IVAN ČAVLOVIĆ).
