The metamorphosis of archaic elements in contemporary Romanian music
The metamorphosis of archaic elements in contemporary Romanian music

Summary/Abstract: Stylization of folk structures which are specific until getting to the essence, by testing archetypes – represents a phenomenon of synthesis between elements proper to the archaic music and their adaptation in the context of certain individual processes of a compositional labor.At this level it resorts to a specific ethos, which can only be suggested, by the use of different structures that highlights elements of specific language, structures that appear as a dialectic of folk creation, in which an element that is qualitatively realized in another element, closely related to the other parts of the song, it also represents a clear manifestation of the rhythmic-melodic interdependence in the achievement of the logical unity of the whole.In the context of searching and adapting the modal ethos of modern, universal languages, the interpretations given by the compositors to the modal structures and mechanisms, rhythmic system, architectonic parameters, get deeper and refined; based on folk-style melodic microstructures some composers have created their own ways of musical expression in accordance to each other’s aesthetic creed and artistic orientation, by means of a reconstructive engagement to the distant pass of sound art.
