Summary/Abstract: Concepts such as time and memory are defining elements in the music of composers from Romania. A specific case is composer Doina Rotaru's work, “Clocks”, where the theme is explicit. The current study analyses throughout the composition how various facets of time (objective time, measuring instruments, inner time, subjective time, and circular time) are musically highlighted through compositional techniques such as precision of form, slow developments, interplay of musical syntax, and ingenious orchestration.
