Summary/Abstract: In May 2017 the composer Irina Odăgescu-Țuțuianu reached the beautiful age of 80 years! Representative of a modernism of a moderated persuasion, within the meaning of making a synthesis between the old and the new, balance between the symphonic tradition and the principles of the Romanian folklore, Irina Odăgescu-Țuțuianu has approached almost all the musical genres. From the list of about 80 ops, opera is missing, while the choral music field is heavily represented. The composer continues the classic Romanian choral tradition, in which she introduces the folkloric intonation, determining a modal language associated with assymetric rhythms. Her creative personality is distinguished by a solid composition technique, a modal melodic thinking with ample harmonic-polyphonic developements, a subtle knowledge of orchestration and effective conduct of the human voices, dimensions ennobled by a direct and spontaneous expression, penetrated by sincerity.
