Means of Adapting and Enhancing the Value of Folkloric Quotation in Two Choruses Based on Folk Verses by Tudor Jarda

Summary/Abstract: Romanian folk music played a fundamental role in the stylistic evolution and crystallization of many composers’ creation. The musicological studies highlight the idea that from the folkloric quotation up to its stylisation there are distinct stages; moreover, the choice for one process or another is influenced by the composer’s aesthetic affiliation. The folkloric quotation is considered a particular case of the musical quotation in general. This has a precise semiological status, being an intentional act, and the listener must identify its origin and function in the work. Tudor Jarda is one of the contemporary Romanian composers who in their works have given value to the modal features of the Romanian music folklore, by using the folkloric quotation.
