In 1951 Cortés enrolled at the University of Denver where he received a full tuition scholarship. Thisenabled him to continue his studies with Iadone and begin a formal study of composition. Cortéssubmitted some of his compositions to the National Federation of Music Clubs' competition andwas awarded the Charles Ives scholarship to study at the Indian Hill Music School in Stockbridge,Massachusetts, during the summer of 1952.

In the fall of 1952 he enrolled at the Yale School of Music and in 1953 was the recipient of the JohnDay Jackson Prize for his composition Introduction and Fugue for string quartet. Later that year heenrolled at the University of Southern California, where he studied with Halsey Stevens and Ingolf Dahl.

In 1954, Cortés received several awards for his works. Perhaps the most significant was the GeorgeGershwin Memorial Award for Sinfonia Sacra which gave Cortés a great deal of national recognition.

Cortés was the recipient of the Steinway Centennial Award in 1955 for Piano Sonata and of the LosAngeles Philharmonic Prize for Yerma, A Symphonic Portrait. He received his bachelor of music degreefrom the University of Southern California that same year, and the following summer served as a fellowon the Huntington Hartford Foundation estate in Pacific Palisades.

During his year of graduate studies at the University of Southern California in 1956, Cortés continuedhis studies with Halsey Stevens and Ingolf Dahl. He received a Fulbright Scholarship to studycomposition with Goffredo Petrass in Rome. Later that year, he received first prize in the NationalFederation of Music Clubs Young Composers competition.

Cortés received a renewal of the Fulbright scholarship and spent a second year in Rome. Thesummer of 1958 was spent at the Huntington Hartford Foundation, where he worked on three sacredcompositions which had been commissioned by the Concorda Society of Princeton. He was awardedfirst prize in the Broadcast Music Inc. Student Composers competition. The money from this awardwas used to finance Cortés' studies in composition at Princeton with Roger Sessions during the fallsemester. While at Princeton, he composed a score commissioned by the Pittsburgh BicentennialAssociation for a film on the history of Pittsburgh. While at Princeton, he also wrote a song cycleon poems by Herman Melville which earned him the George Bolek Memorial Award of the NationalFederation of Music Clubs. Cortés again returned to the Huntington Hartford Foundation for thesummer of 1959.

In New York during February of 1960, Cortés married Nancee Heimbecher Charles--Charles was herprofessional name--whom he had met in junior high school. During that year he received the JohnHay Whitney Foundation Fellowship. The most important score he produced was Symphony in ThreeMovements for small orchestra. He submitted this composition to the Queen Elizabeth of BelgiumInternational Competition, and was awarded the silver medal.

Cortés enrolled at the Juilliard School of Music in 1961 and held the Rodgers and HammersteinScholarship. He received two additional awards while attending Juilliard: the Alexandre GretchaninoffMemorial Prize and the Benjamin Prize. He finished course requirements for his master's degree in1962. That same year he received an award from the National Institute of Arts and Letters.

Cortés worked as a computer programmer for Systems Development Corporation from 1963 to 1966when he was invited to be a visiting lecturer at the University of California at Los Angeles. The followingyear he was offered a faculty position at the University of Southern California, and in 1970 he waspromoted to associate professor with tenure. In 1971 he and Nancee separated and were divorced ayear later. In 1972-1973 he served as composer in residence at the University of Utah and the followingyear he joined the faculty as chair of theory and composition. He continued to teach at the University ofUtah until his death in 1984. Cortés spent 1978-1979 in Los Angeles on sabbatical from the Universityof Utah. In the latter year, he and Nancee were remarried. He studied the works of Igor Stravinsky



extensively, and presented fifty-five lectures on the music of Stravinsky for the Utah radio station KUERin 1982. Ramiro Cortés died of heart failure July 2, 1984, in Salt Lake City, Utah, at age fifty-one.
