The Metaphor of Flight in the Romanian Compositional Landscape
The Metaphor of Flight in the Romanian Compositional Landscape

Summary/Abstract: The work focuses on the creations of Romanian composers who show an affinity for promoting an aesthetics of essentialization and of the ultimate form. At the center of these concerns lies the motif of the bird, understood as a symbol of ascensional flight toward the celestial infinite and of a spiritualized atmosphere. The bird becomes the image of a journey toward spaces untouched by humanity, forming the nucleus of a symbolic field of transcendence. Within this framework, concepts such as wing, light, air, ether, and flight function as metaphorical extensions of the same phenomenon of ascension and of the overcoming of the material condition. Flight functions as a catalytic and expansive element, symbolizing the process of individuation, as defined in Jungian psychoanalysis and its subsequent developments.
