The interpretative analysis of the „8 lieds for a soprano” series by Radu Paladi, dedicated to the soprano Nicoleta Ardelean

Summary/Abstract: The lied in the Romanian music historiography is considered to have as primary source the traditional folk song, but in its evolution there are known several steps of transformation and decantation. It starts from collecting the folklore , asserting and processing it, then it assimilates the European models, and reaches the level where the aboriginal element is adapted and incorporated into the European miniature vocal norm. The Romanian composers from the second half of the XXth century have enriched the lieds repertoire with new artistic values. Among them we notice Radu Paladi (1928-2013), with a diverse creative activity, characterized by expressiveness and inventiveness. Composer, pianist, conductor, professor, he has approached different musical styles: piano works, concert and vocal-symphonic pieces, film and theatre music, numerousa cappellachoir works, and not last vocal miniature. This paper desires , through the interpretative analysis of the volume “8 lieds for soprano”, to demonstrate the value, unity and logic of the work, but it is at the same time a modest tribute to the composer who passed away five years ago.
