Felicia Donceanu - The Poetic Universe of her Vocal and Chamber Works

Abstract

The affinity for vocal and chamber contemporary music is a topic that has a wide audience among Romanian composers. Among them, there is Felicia Donceanu, a creative representative from the gallery of Romanian creative women, starting with Ioana Ghica Comanesti, continuing with C.P. Basacopol, M. Marbé, I. Odăgescu, M. Ciobanu and more. In her music, Felicia Donceanu offers us an impressive creative variety of works, from extensive vocal-symphonic works to stage music, vocal (voice and piano), choir, children's music, instrumental theater, soundtracks and entertainment music, and especially vocal and instrumental chamber music and instrumental music. Therefore it is an extensive creation, atypical, fluid, in a wide stylistic range, not only on the horizontal line of improvement of communistic elements but also on the personal level, specific to her extra-musical personality.
