The Lyric-Dramatic Creation of Banat Composers between Tradition and Marginalization: Forgotten Musics
The Lyric-Dramatic Creation of Banat Composers between Tradition and Marginalization: Forgotten Musics

Summary/Abstract: The present research examines the lyric-dramatic creation of Banat composers between 1900 and 1950 from the perspective of cultural identity and repertorial marginalization. The study aims to recover an insufficiently valorized musical heritage consisting of operas, operettas, musical dramas and other stage genres created under the influence of Central European culture and Romanian folklore. It highlights composers such as Sabin V. Drăgoi, Tiberiu Brediceanu, Emil Monția, Filaret Barbu, Hermann Klee, Vadim Șumski and Zeno Vancea, whose works were gradually excluded from the contemporary artistic circuit. The marginalization of these creations was determined by the ideological transformations following the establishment of the communist regime, by the absence of critical editions and by the difficulty of accessing manuscripts. Therefore, this scientific research seeks to contribute to the recovery of regional musical memory and to the reconsideration of Banat’s role in the development of Romanian musical theatre during the first half of the twentieth century.
