Sound polychromes in the choral creation of the composer Gheorghe Duțică

Abstract

Choral cultures begin with the old art of Notre Dame in Paris, continue with the Renaissance, Baroque, Classicism, Romanticism and end with the modern era, where the currents of Impressionism, Expressionism and Neoclassicism are often interwoven, united through the National Schools. An old tradition of Romanian musical culture continues, whose beginnings were marked by the choral, church or secular genre and whose modern foundations were finalized in the inter-war era of the 20th century. Gheorghe Duțică is one of the most representative masters of Romanian music. He has acquired a thorough knowledge of musicology, composition and pedagogy. It should be noted that each work bears the imprint of a strong originality, as well as a mastery worthy of appreciation. The charm of these works is very special, managing to describe with poetic and suggestive images.
