ELEMENTS OF THE MUSICAL DISCOURSE IN FUM (SMOKE) BY DOINA ROTARU

ELEMENTS OF THE MUSICAL DISCOURSE IN FUM (SMOKE) BY DOINA ROTARU

Author(s): Şerban Marcu / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2012

Keywords: Rotaru; Fum; clarinet; solo; analysis; structural; archetypes.

The present study is an analysis of the work entitled Fum (Smoke), for clarinet solo, written by the Romanian composer Doina Rotaru in 1996 and dedicated to the clarinetist Emil Vişenescu. The study enhances the author’s preference for ancient musical archetypes, such as the aulodic timbral archetype, the archetype of suspended time, the archetype of the ornament or that of the glissando. We also highlight the articulation of musical discourse in relation to symbolic structural principles: circular or spiral shapes, sacred numbers. The structural analysis also emphasizes the continuous variation process, starting from a generative motive which includes almost all elements of language the work is based on: Rubato rhythm, chromaticism, Enescu’s “x” cell, glissando and appoggiatura.

Hidden Sources. Czesław Miłosz and Henry Miller

Ukryte źródła. Czesław Miłosz i Henry Miller

Author(s): Ewa Kołodziejczyk / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 03/2013

Keywords: korespondencja Czesława Miłosza i Henry Millera; powieść amerykańska lat 40. XX wieku; portret literacki; krytyka kultury amerykańskiej

The article compares two portraits of Henry Miller created by Czesław Miłosz. The first one presented in the 1940s shows Miller as a literary rebel whose critique of traditional novel is of European descent. It also points out numerous parallels in their perception of contemporary America. As a reader of The Air-conditioned Nightmare, Miłosz gains new perspectives in diagnosing the American postwar society. However, he does not always reveal Miller’s heritage in his own thoughts about the New World. The latter one from Visions over San Francisco Bay puts aside Miller as a commentator of American culture, and locates him in the context of the Beat Generation movement. Unpublished letters of the two and some new biographical data throw new light on Miłosz’s reevaluation of Miller both as a writer and an intellectual.

A PATIENT’S TRUST IN THEIR DOCTOR ON THE FRAMEWORK OF MILLER’S FOUR SENSES OF AUTONOMY

A PATIENT’S TRUST IN THEIR DOCTOR ON THE FRAMEWORK OF MILLER’S FOUR SENSES OF AUTONOMY

Author(s): Liviu Oprea,Tudor-Ștefan Rotaru / Language(s): / Issue: 1/2015

Keywords: trust; autonomy; medical ethics.

A Patient’s Trust in Their Doctor on the Framework of Miller’s Four Senses of Autonomy. Both trust in the doctor-patient relationship and respect for patient autonomy are basic principles for an ethical medical practice. Trust is particularly important in filling in the gap between scientific evidence and clinical practice. This is so because patient trust is associated with patient compliance with therapeutic recommendations. This paper argues that although central to modern medical care, autonomy cannot always be preserved in situations dealing with trust. People trust or distrust without being necessarily autonomous. This happens even if no moral rule is violated by either the doctor or patient.

Europe in Alexey Miller’s Embrace

Keywords: Russia;energy;Gazprom

The Russian-owned energy giant Gazprom, headed by Alexey Miller, is feeling more and more comfortable in Europe. The Ukraine conflict seems to have had little impact on the gas business between Russia and most EU countries as the gas giant is taking root in the old continent’s transit system, signing new contracts and buying out shares owned mainly by German energy companies.

MATTER, SYMBOL AND SOUND METAPHOR IN ARIPI DE LUMINĂ [WINGS OF LIGHT] BY DOINA ROTARU

MATTER, SYMBOL AND SOUND METAPHOR IN ARIPI DE LUMINĂ [WINGS OF LIGHT] BY DOINA ROTARU

Author(s): Diana-Beatrice Andron / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2012

Keywords: matter; symbol; metaphor; spiral; symmetry; global effect; texture

Of the nonverbal symbolic codes, the musical one is the most fascinating because ofthe ineffable quality intrinsic to the sound phenomenon. Appealing to the archetypal, the composerDoina Rotaru articulates in a quite ingenious manner three of the fundamental symbols convergent tothe idea of ascension/transcendence: light, wing and flight. Thus, the matter transformed into musicalmetaphor under the title Wings of Light takes the form of a sound accumulation of the ‘mass’ type,where the overall effect is conceived/perceived from the perspective of an original texture.

Psychological perspective in the musical work "Mithya" by Doina Rotaru

Psychological perspective in the musical work "Mithya" by Doina Rotaru

Author(s): Mihaela-Georgiana Balan / Language(s): English / Issue: 2-Suppl/2016

Keywords: tradition; innovation; cultural identities from East and West, eternal values

Musical analysis and semantic interpretation are nowadays inherent aspects when approaching a musical score, no matter its genre, composer, cultural-geographical origin, stylistic features or historical period. The present research is concerned with the analytical techniques which are necessary when analysing a contemporary musical work, in order to grasp its deepest meanings. The purpose of our paper is to use structural analysis, semantic interpretation, combined with hermeneutical remarks and psychological aspects of the composing process, in order to analyse the musical work “Mithya”, created by Romanian composer Doina Rotaru, whose name has a large echo all over the world. Beginning with the principles indicated by Leonard Meyer in his book, "Emotion and Meaning in Music", we tried to learn the mechanism by which the first piece of the cycle, entitled “As a prayer”, generates an exciting psychological process and a permanent connection between playing and listening.

Miller’s and Taliga’s Fallacies about Verisimilitude Counting

Miller’s and Taliga’s Fallacies about Verisimilitude Counting

Author(s): Jiří Raclavský / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2008

The present paper is a reply to Miller – Taliga (2008); reference to their points is made by §n), which is a criticism of Raclavský (2008).1 1. Although the problem of verisimilitude is a problem about scientific theories, Miller’s argument utilizes semantic notions such as language and inter-language translation, thus it is in fact about semantic problems (pace §8); when solving a semantic problem, the use of clear semantic notions is not, pace §8, an ‘obfuscating rhetoric’.

VALORIZATION OF THE TECHNICAL-EXPRESSIVE CAPACITIES OF THE TRUMPET IN THE WORK IMPROVISATION BY VLADIMIR ROTARU

VALORIFICAREA MIJLOACELOR TEHNICO-EXPRE SIVE ALE TROMPETEI ÎN LUCRAREA IMPROVIZAŢIE DE VLADIMIR ROTARU

Author(s): Dumitru Hanganu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 4(41)/2021

Keywords: trumpet; Vladimir Rotaru; Improvisation; technical and expressive capacities; precision in intonation; rhythm; ornament;

The chamber music for trumpet of composers from the Republic of Moldova is of particular interest for research both from the thematic and structural point of view, and that of performance. It deals extensively with the technical and expressive capacities of this instrument. In this article, we propose to analyze the interpretative aspect and to highlight the peculiarities of execution in the piece for trumpet and piano ”Improvisation” by Vladimir Rotaru. We mention a melodic texture focused on vaults at different intervals, especially enlarged fourths and diminished fifths, so that the performer will have to demonstrate his technical skills. Although the piece is short in duration, it requires a high level of professional training of the trumpeter (even in terms of physical resistance), because it also exploits a wide diapason of the trumpet in ‘B’, and contains ornamental elements that remind us of folk melodies.

Post-Enescian Lineage in Romanian Post-War Music. The Representative Case of Doina Rotaru

Post-Enescian Lineage in Romanian Post-War Music. The Representative Case of Doina Rotaru

Author(s): Vlad Văidean / Language(s): English / Issue: 47/2021

Keywords: modernism; dreaming in music; heterophony;

For the Romanian post-war composition, Enescu’s music has long been a reference point: rediscovered with much emotion and admiration in the light of the late first Romanian auditions of his last works, the profile of the national composer proved to be not only a propaganda symbol manipulated by the communist state, but also a real creative ferment, particularly fertile at least for that “golden” generation (which is why it is also called the “post-Enescu” generation) of composers who came to the fore at the end of the 1950s. Thoroughly theorised on an analytical level and variously continued on a creative level, the most specific features of the Enescian style – the melodism of tonal-modal synthesis, the parlando rubato type of rhythm, the technique of continuous micro-variation and, above all, the heterophonic syntax – have come to guide the understanding of the “Romanian specific” in music. The Enescian model has not ceased to inspire even beyond the members of that generation, a fact that is amply proved by the oeuvre of Doina Rotaru, who rose to fame in the 1980: its unmistakable character could be explained partly as a possible instance of how Enescian lyricism would have sounded, had it been detached from the matrix of Classical-Romantic tradition, and transplanted instead in the pastel-coloured tissue of extended instrumental techniques specific to the avant-gardist musical idiom. Of course, this is only one of the components of her personal style. It is, however, much valued and assumed by the composer, sometimes even in the form of symbolic references to Enescian quotations, as is the case at the very end of one of Doina Rotaru’s most recent work – the concerto for violin and orchestra Himere [Chimeras].
