MUSICAL CREATION BETWEEN ARCHETYPE, TRADITION AND CONTEMPORANEITY MAIN STRATEGIES IN COMPOSITION TOWARDS ARCHETYPAL TRANS-REALISM - Part 1 -

Abstract

This study is dedicated to my main strategies in compositionrelated to the correlation with the idea of tradition towards the newaesthetic that I founded and I called the Archetypal Trans-Realism.The introduction gives an overview on Romanian composers and theirfolklore-oriented works (from George Enescu onwards). The paper focuseson three personal directions in composition, namely: 1. exploringtraditional resources (both Romanian and universal), 2. archetypal andspiritual multi-level approachand 3. archetypal trans-realism.The study centres on some of my related works – the ongoing cycleInterferences, the pieces involving a spiritual approach – the oratorio Jesuswith a Thousand Arms or The Path of the Human Angel (dramatic ororchestral version) and four of the trans-real syncretic works–DynamicMeditation,White Lady’s Power Places, the opera The Dreamer Awake andthe Shamanic Prologue.This study is a guide for soloists and performers in generalto a newaesthetic orientation, the archetypal trans-realism, which offers aperspective on discovering the potential of artas a source of selfdevelopment and spiritual growth.
