VOCAL PARTS FROM THE VOCAL-SYMPHONIC CYCLE I AM YOU BY PAVEL GAMURARI: AUTHOR'S APPROACHES

Abstract

The article presents the author's analysis of three vocal parts (I, II, and V) of the vocalsymphonic cycle „I AM YOU” each written on one of the selected poems by N. Stänescu. The text-music relationship is deepened by investigating the stylistic and language manifestations and several musical expressions of melodic, rhythmic, textural, orchestral, etc. or of synthetic character are deciphered, expressing a multitude of hypostases that the poetry of Stanescu obtains in this vocal-symphonic cycle. The main theoretical ideas are confirmed by several musical examples which are added to the article. The conclusions refer to the versatility and, at the same time, originality of the compositional approaches that capture the essentially philosophical, profoundly lyrical content of Stanescu’s verb.
