Choral Choir (TTBB) - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1004730 Composed by Adrian Gagiu. 20th Century,Contemporary. Octavo. 204 pages. Adrian Gagiu #6447303. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1004730). Cantata for mezzo-soprano, male chorus and orchestra (2014, revised 2021), in Neo-Romantic style with traditional Romanian influences. The lyrics (in the original Romanian and my own translation in blank verse) are from the patriotic, anti-traitors poem Doina by Mihai Eminescu. The music is illustrative of the poem's situations, gradually going from restrained lamentation through indignation and then to a call to awakening, followed by a final, heroic, and polyphonic peroration for orchestra, peacefully ended with a quotation from a well-known Christian Orthodox hymn.

Choral Choir (TTBB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1220994 Composed by Adrian Gagiu. A Cappella,Christian. Octavo. 2 pages. Adrian Gagiu #817341. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1220994). A solemn and soothing a cappella piece for men's chorus, based on a traditional hymn from the Orthodox Memorial Service and composed for a friend's sudden and unexpected passing away. It utilizes subtly varied, yet restrained harmonizations and textures, and is mostly faithful to the Byzantine style, with a few discrete incursions into quartal harmony. Appropriate for the Orthodox church service and for choral groups, schools and students, too. Duration: 3 min. Performing Rights Organization: SOCAN. Text (Romanian original): Cu sfinţii odihneşte, Hristoase, sufletul adormitului robului Tău, unde nu este durere, nici întristare, nici suspin, ci viaţă fără de sfârşit. (English translation) O Christ, with the saints give rest to the soul of Thy servant, where there is neither sickness, nor sorrow, nor sighing, but life everlasting..
