  Article:   STYLISTIC ASPECTS REFLECTED IN MODAL LITURGY BY DAN VOICULESCU.

  Abstract:  
The Liturgy represents for the Christian-Orthodox community the moment with the most significance in the church services. As a musical genre, it is approached by a number of Romanian composers, especially after 1989, the year of the establishment of democracy in Romania. Among the creators who approach this genre is Dan Voiculescu, who composed Modal Liturgy for equal voices in 1996 and was dedicated to Sigismund Toduţă. Our paper analyses this composition which is based on modal-diatonic writing, harmonic-polyphonic arrangements with a modal shade alternating with passages in unison, and in which melodic constructions depart from the model of Palestrina’s polyphonic writing.

Keywords: Composer Dan Voiculescu, religious, modal liturgy, polyphony.
