THE SACRED IN THE CHORAL WORKS OF DRAGOŞ ALEXANDRESCU

Abstract

Standing at the crossroad between tradition and modernism, the choral work of composer Dragoş Alexandrescu represents a genuine symbiosis between “the national” and “the universal”. The presence of his choral works in choir concert programs and in the church choirs' repertoire places Dragoş Alexandrescu on top of the list of creators of music dedicated to the development of the Divine Liturgy, next to other representatives of the genre from the second half of the 20th century.
