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.
