Les groupes de musique traditionnelle de Roumanie (Roumanie)
Candidature: Liste représentative 2020
EN: The accompanying instrument is zongora, a guitar with 4 or 5 strings, with adjustements that allow the faster handling of strings and of the major frequent accords. On Tropotia sung by a virtuoso violin, Ioachim Făt, Ion Pop, the 'zongoraş' shouts freely as if he is telling
EN: The accompanying instrument is contra(bass). What colours the folkloric repertoire from Bihor is the violin with trumpet made by crafters in the middle of the 19th century. They replaced the classic violin resonance box with a gramophone membrane and added a trumpet to spread the sound
EN: The accompanying instrument is the gordon. It is like a handmade 'broancă', with two, three or four strings made of sheep intestine (for forth one being thinner and is pinched). All strings are tuned in Re. We mention espacially the style in which this sub-Carpathian repertoire is played by violin. Any sung is doubled by one of the closer strings. Thus, the interpretation style of the violin is distinct, taking ino account the consonants and the dissonances resulting from the abundance of free strings
EN: The accompanying instrument is the lute. The double bass is replaced by a kind of cello with 2 strings. They are performing a 'sârbă' dance from Oltenia
EN: The music band is made of virtous musicians that play songs from North Eastern Moldova at different family celebrations and 'nedei' shepherds' meeting in the mountains
EN: The accompanying instrument is the small dulcimer, doubled by the second violin and the accordion. It is an amplified from of the music band (taraf), and in the same time it is the most complex one. The harmonic compartment is complete, and the band leader (the first violonist) also has the role of a vocal singer. He is an interpreter with double comptetence in the south of the country (Muntenia and Oltenia)
EN: The mentor of this music band is Dumitru Iederan. He is also a luthier, and together with the other members of the music band made different types of violins, 'contre', and cellos. In Codru area, the violin called 'ceatară'. At this music band there is noteworthy the accompaniment style 'duva' and syncopate at the same time
EN: We can talk in this case about a family of musicians. Thus, their music has been transmitted from generation to generation and, although the Roma are, the elements they have discovered in practice have in their interpretation a peasant Romanian specifity. The musicians from Doporu de Câmpie, Cluj, grew up and formed as people in a peasant environment, but they always found a 'sweet' refuge in playing one isntrument or another in order not to perform a harder work (easy to understand)
EN: These instrumentalists know many Romanian, Hungarian and Rroma songs. Moreover, they perform them in the original style in which the songs were performed by the instrumentalists they taught them
EN: These accompanying instrument is viola (that is 'braci' or 'contra') with the callus cut straight and three strings (Transylvanian Trio). This thing facilitates a placid tuning and convenient harmonic harnessing. It is a tool adapted to the needs of folkloric music. In all likelihood it took the place of the focused on the second violin with normal tune. It has dominated for several decades, especially in the middle part, eastern and northwest Transylvania
