Syntactic and Timbral Structures in Anton Zeman’s Symphony No. 2 – “Aliaje”

Abstract

Conceived in one single movement, Anton Zeman's Symphony no. 2 ”Aliaje” exhibits, thanks to the modern language, compositional technique and graphic icons employed by the composer, an instance of his view on Romanian spirituality. The symphony springs from a process of transformational evolution of the areas having a global effect, with various
manifestations of sonorous density, technical constitution or timbral nature. There are several sonorous characters of a syntactic, dramaturgic or timbral sort which give voice to the Aliaje (Alloys) in a complex symphonic  background.
