Gheorghe Mandicevschi – Oratory –“And It Was at Six o’Clock”. A Theological and Musical Analysis

Summary/Abstract: Church music, the foremost border area of Liturgical Theology with Musicology, aims, by its very nature, to mediate the two domains, to create links between them in terms of the sounds of art and, ultimately, to enrich each sector by lending or takeover of concepts in the complementary fi eld.Oratory is a vocal-symphonic work on a religious or secular text that resembles the opera, the difference being that the oratorius does not need decoration or special costumes. Can be sung in churches or concert halls. It appeared as a musical genre inthe 16th-17th centuries, maintaining it until now. Among the Romanian oratories we mention those of Paul Constantinescu, Christmas Oratory and Easter. The work And it was at six o’clock is written for male choir, being one of an invaluable compositional value for the liturgical period of Good Friday from the Savior Weeks of the Savior Jesus Christ
