| description | “Psalm 124” by Ion Coţofan is an example of a choral work with religious text designed for a concert hall and not a liturgical service, a sample of the perfect combination between text and the music accompanying it.

The continuous pendulation between polyphony and heterophony, as well as the permanent oscillation between “sprechgesang” and microtonality give birth to a musical work full of tension and drama. |
