VALENTIN DONI’S WORKS FOR CHAMBER ORCHESTRA: STRUCTURAL AND GENRE PARTICULARITIES

Abstract

The chamber music created by composers from the Republic of Moldova is represented by works of diverse genres, most of them present indisputable artistic value, being widely appreciated both at home and abroad. Valentin Doni is the composer who, along with the other native authors, has written representative works for the national musical culture. We highlight the following works composed by Valentin Doni for chamber orchestra: the Concert piece "Spring" for string orchestra, „Dance” for string orchestra, „Music” for string orchestra, piano and timpani, and „Nocturne” for wood-winds, strings, triangle and vibraphone. Each work has its own features and is distinguished by its well contured theme, a rich musical language, and original compositional approach.
