Summary/Abstract: Vladimir Chiolak’s „Mass” is a work unique to the compositional output in the Republic of Moldova. It synthesizes into a tight polystylistic and neo-romantic alloy various compositional techniques from different eras, such as Postmodernism, Classical, Baroque, and Medieval. All of the constituent elements in the „Mass” derive from one another. Thus, the structure of intonations directly correlates with intervallic and polyphonic organization; rhythmic organization – with dynamics and form; modal organization – with tonal and harmonic structure. Together these compositional principles create a balance of the choral, solo, and orchestral parts. The components of the polymorphic texture are subject to the third research article. The results of the compositional, performing, and research work, that ensure the viability of this composition in audio and audio-visual perception of the recipients, are summed up in the corresponding sections of this article
