About Trois Pastorales for voice and piano by Romanian composer Filip Lazar

Abstract

There are rarely highlighted works and stages of composition, part of the evolution of any composer, both in exegesis and in the auditory memory of the public. In consequence, a presentation and analysis by several perspectives (stylistic-musical, historical, social, monographic) is always a welcome restoration act. The creation of the Romanian composer Filip Lazăr is one of international interest, with diverse stylistic spacing, part of it, developed on the line of the European interwar Avant-garde or following an edification of the National Spirit in musical writing, not by cited fragments but by subtly integrating both the genre and the internal archaic structures of the folk song. In this study, I propose a brief look at Trois Pastorales for voice and piano, a cycle of songs coming out from a young master of music’s pen,composed a year before the separation of both the natal space and of the idyllic sound representations, in a modal-tonal space, enlarged with Romanian sound iridescences.
