Angelina Figus - On the Sea. Analytical and stylistic aspects

Summary/Abstract: Choral works intended for amateur choirs must meet both the criterion of accessibility and several aesthetic and artistic criteria that motivate the amateur chorister to perform them. Angelina Figus, composer and conductor for amateur choirs, with an impressive musical career, combines quiet, serene, sometimes slightly chromatic modal sounds with vigorous, powerful sonorities in her choral works for amateurs, leading both the chorister and the listener through a vast field of feelings. John Keats' sonnets are truthfully rendered through the work of Angelia Figus, transporting us to the distant world of fairy tales, of melancholy, where the sea accompanies us, stirs us, but also calms us. The analysis of the work aims to highlight the morphological and syntactic structure of the choral miniature On the Sea, focusing on the rhetorical and stylistic elements used by the composer.
