The Spiritual Coordinate in Aurel Stroe’s “Melodramas on Job’s Book”

Abstract

The musical art was never for the use of the ears, but for the soul and for the spirit. This is the credo of Master Aurel Stroe in one’s of the most unknown works of his career, Melodramas in Job’s Book (from the Old Testament). The example of Job is so relevant in the context of the cultural movement of Antim Monastery from Bucharest in the 1950-1960 period, so it deserves a special study on this theme.
