Summary/Abstract: Sofia Gubaidulina's work introduces new sounds and an incessant search for spirituality through sound. De Profundis, Et Expecto, Silenzio, Last seven Words, Fachwerk, Under the sign of Scorpio are some of the composer's works inspired by the orthodox chants that insert the Bayan (accordion) as a scholarly instrument and essential vehicle for metamorphosis in musical language. The article is presented in three sections: general notions about the composer and work, interpretive analysis, and the interpreter's point of view (interpretive practice).
