Summary/Abstract: In addition to specific modes of the traditional music (from the oligochordic to the heptachordic), the artificial modes represent for Romanian composers a way to enrich the musical language in the last decades of the 20th century, some of them creating their own modal systems. This study analyzes elements of musical language in the choral works of composer Liviu Glodeanu, from the perspective of both adjectives: natural - adopting and / or adapting existing natural modes in folklore; artificial – extraction of a mathematical model on which are built and developed the modes; we refer for example to the modal system created by Anatol Vieru, and based on set theory.
