Lieberson was commissioned by the Boston Symphony to compose another cycle of Neruda songs, which became the Songs of Love and Sorrow. When he returned to the work, it was no longer simply a memorial and farewell to Hunt Lieberson, but also reflected the influence of his daughters and his third wife, Rinchen Lhamo.[10] Lieberson had three daughters from his first marriage, all of whom are members of the band TEEN.[11]
Shortly after Lorraine Hunt Lieberson's death, Lieberson was diagnosed with lymphoma. Despite the debilitating effects of the illness and its treatment, Lieberson went on composing. Though thought to have achieved full remission,[8] he died from complications of the disease in 2011 in Tel Aviv, Israel.[12] He had been living in Santa Fe, New Mexico, at the time of his death.
