AUTHOR’s ORIGINAL CREATIONS — CHERUBIC HYMNS FROM THE DIVINE LITURGY HYMNS CYCLE BY M. BEREZOVSCHI — COMPOSITIONAL AND DRAMATURGY PARTICULARITIES

Abstract

This article presents the analysis of three Cherubic Hymns signed by the Bessarabian composer Mihail Berezovschi, that we find in the pages of his cycle „The Divine Liturgy Hymns”. The creations are analyzed in terms of compositional particularities and dramaturgy features. For each creation in part is appreciated the interpretative choral composition, the musical texture, including the polyphonic processes, musical form, the harmonic clothing, and also the suitability of the harmonic means used, raported to the Orthodox church singing harmony, not in the least the connection between the music and text — which is a very important aspect in the liturgical chant, but also the popularity degree and the viability of the three creations.
