Summary/Abstract: The lyrical oratorio Songs of Change for mixed choir, children’s choir, soloists and orchestra, was composed in the year 1979 and revised in 1982. The text is written by the composer, in the spirit of the Romanian popular verses, and depicts essential scenes for the human life: birth, wedding, death. The work is structured in five parts (Abua – Prolog, La curțile jocului, La porțile dorului, Ciobănaș de la miori and Descântecul zorilor – Epilog), each movement resonating with significant events in the trajectory of life. Thus, birth, childhood, wedding and death are suggested by lullabies, children’s songs, wedding songs and funeral songs.
