A CAPPELLA CHORAL MUSIC BY MAIJA EINFELDE: INSTRUMENTAL DIMENSIONS AND INTERPRETATION OF POETRY
Keywords:
Maija Einfelde, choral music, a cappellaAbstract
The choral music of Maija Einfelde is an autumn fruit in the context of her creative output. Only in her late fifties did the composer begin to intensively explore the possibilities of choral writing, but since then choral music has become her main form of artistic expression.
The analytical approaches in this article represent two angles – the relationship between poetry and music as well as an examination of instrumental writing for a human voice as a direct influence of her instrumental compositions.
In this article, the relationship between music and poetry has been examined on three levels that are related to specific phases of the compositional process – the pre-compositional phase (choice of the text; examination of the text), the compositional process as a result (fusion of textual and musical components), and the perceptual aspect of the composition itself in terms of the intelligibility of the text within the music material.
