THE CONCEPT OF MUSICAL-POETICAL PRODUCTION IN 5 TABLOURI CU UMBRE(LE)

Summary/Abstract: In the twentieth century the evolution of the lied genre declined, as poetry itself has evolved into a formal de-structuring (in terms of meter and rhyme), but especially regarding the idea of content, as poetry set on music has become quite obsolete (lyrics, verse, stanza, etc.). Thus the lied has become a creation in which poetry and music represent dual entities, placed side by side, each with its own abstract language.With this in mind, when the idea of the project of composing music on five poems by Transylvanian poets emerged, the composer Constantin Rîpă started from the idea of leaving the poems to express themselves, i.e. to confer the possibility of understanding the literary text. “At that moment everything took a complete turn. That is I started from the ancestral history of the song, within which from the very beginning poetry was sung on a music that allowed for the full understanding of the text. In other words, music was simply the environment of the text.”
