Structural and performing milestones in the work of the composer Iacob Mureşianu (I. The Lied “Return to the Homeland”)

Summary/Abstract: The idea of deepening the knowledge on Iacob Mureşianu’s personality through a research series came to me in the spring of 2017, when we commemorated a hundred years since the death of the composer from Brasov on May 25th. I handled the piano accompaniment of some vocal-instrumental miniatures composed by him, I discovered the beauty and sensitivity of some works like Return to the Homeland, Searose Flowers, Don’t Weep, The Young Horse, What It Wouldn’t Have Been Like, and What Has Been, Has Been etc., unrightfully unknown. As for the lied Return to the Homeland, the composer proves extraordinary intuition in creating the lyrics-music relationship, so that the musical form takes on a stanza-like aspect, being in complete symbiose with the lyrics.
