ACHIM STOIA – THE MULTIFARIOUS NATURE OF A PEDAGOGUE. MARGINALIA ON THE SKETCH OF A PORTRAIT

Summary/Abstract: An essential generator of the artistic academic breath in Iași, Achim Stoia played a decisive role in the development and the thriving history of the Iași Conservatory. His activity is proof of a special passion for folk music, as he was a collector of folk songs, which he used mainly in his own compositional creations, of a selfless dedication to managerial activities, of a particular consistency in performing musical life, as he was a tenured conductor of the Iași Philharmonic Orchestra, and of strenuous efforts to research and attempt to create and discover meanings, translating them into a glass window stained with sounds. As to Achim Stoia's creations, he remained faithful to the soundness of the tradition that he acquired in Paris, as he managed to express himself best, most naturally and full of inspiration, in the choral genre, to which he devoted himself from the very beginning of his compositional career; he was clearly very attached to the inexhaustible resources of human voice, to the manner in which it met the needs of his creative sensitivity and to its capability to express folk music so genuinely. In his works, Achim Stoia made use of the simplicity of technical means, yet he expressed a maximum of semantic efficiency.
