Recycling the Folk Music

Abstract

The constants of the compositional creation signed by Roxana Pepelea start from the idea of a continuous sonorous and conceptual re-creation of the Romanian folklore, by modern techniques, the most important being polyphony, modal harmony, heterophony or free variation. Pursuing a certain plasticity of the sonorous image in illustrating Romanian spirituality, the composer often resorts to models stemming from a mythical space-time. The appeal to the autochthonous musical potential is sometimes intertwined with the revaluation of several traditional patterns: variation, sonata, and fugue.
