THE CHORAL SUITE THE BIG HOUSE AT THE RIVERS BY T. ZGUREANU: COMPOSITION PARTICULARITIES

Summary/Abstract: The choral-suite “The Big House at the Rivers” by Theodor Zgureanu, based on Anatol Ciocanu’s verses, presents a model of the cycle where the folk genres, expressed in the constituent parts are combined in a composition structure, that is specific to an instrumental folk suite. In the four parts of the suite — Doina, Hora, Bătuta, Sârba, through the genre of literary text and the expressivity means characteristic of each number, are all combined in a composition unit, the main unifying element being dramaturgy, centered on „microcycles”. The suite unity of “The Big House at the Rivers” is also assured throughout the cycle by some of the tonalities: g-moll – G-dur – F-dur – B-dur. The musical language of this suite is simple, based on traditional harmonic relations and on folk dance rythms, where also persists the orchestra structure that justifies the origin of this genre.
