He also studied with Nadia Boulanger and Olivier Messiaen at the Paris Conservatoire from 1966 to1967 and with György Ligeti\, Bruno Maderna\, and Christoph Caskel in Darmstadt from 1968 to 1972. \nAmong his many honors are the Great Officer of the Order of Cultural Merit (2004\, Romania)\, five prizes from the Romanian Composers Union (1972\, 1978\, 1981\, 1982\, 2001)\, the Prize of the Academy of the SR of Romania (1973) and the International Koussevitzky Award (1982\, for a recording of Garlands). He has been a member of the Romanian Academy since 1993 and was named a Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2002. \nProf. Țăranu founded the chamber orchestra Ars Nova in Cluj-Napoca in 1968 and served as its Artistic Director and Conductor until his death. He also served as the Vice-President of the Romanian Composers Union from 1990 to 2023 and as director of the Cluj Modern Festival from 1995 to 2023. He published many musicological works\, as well as the book Enescu în Conștiința Prezentului (1969\, Editura pentru Literatură). \nHe taught at the Gheorghe Dima Academy of Music in Cluj-Napoca from 1957 to 2023\, where he was Professor of Composition. Prof. Țăranu also gave lectures in Germany\, Israel\, Switzerland\, and the USA. © 2023 by Cristina Taranu. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][vc_single_image image=”2366″ img_size=”medium” onclick=”custom_link” link=”https://americanromanianfestival.org/project/ionica-pop/”][vc_column_text] \nIonică Pop\ncomposer\nIoan (Ionică) Pop was born in Sîngeorz–Băi\, Romania\, on August 20\, 1967. He studied oboe and piano at the Lyceum of Music in Cluj-Napoca from 1977 to 1985. He continued with graduate studies in composition at the Gheorghe Dima Conservatory of Music in Cluj-Napoca from 1986 to 1991\, under Professor Cornel Ţăranu\, who directed his doctoral thesis\, Tendencies and Structures in Today’s Music. Ionică obtained his Ph.D. in music in June 2004.  \nIn 2006\, Mr. Pop completed a diploma as Director of Musical Theatre at the Gheorghe Dima Academy of Music in Cluj-Napoca\, and in 2009 graduated from a module course in organ in Professor Erik Turk’s class. He performs piano and organ concerts both at home and abroad.  \nCurrently\, Mr. Pop is Associate Professor at the Department of Musicology of the Gheorghe Dima National Academy of Music\, in the Section for Theory\, Solfeggio\, and Dictation. His works have been performed in prestigious festivals such as Cluj Musical Autumn\, Cluj Modern\, and George Enescu International Festival; at the George Enescu Museum in Bucharest; and in Netherlands\, Germany\, Italy\, Denmark\, France\, Israel\, and the U.S. In recent years\, he organized the Aurel Stroe Festival and Symposium from Buşteni\, Romania.  \nMr. Pop is interested in investigating the convergence between composition and direction in instrumental theatre\, and also in original ways to compose for voice using his own poems as lyrics. Since 2008\, he has been leading the contemporary music ensemble Impact XXI\, which includes soprano\, trombone\, piano\, and percussion.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_column_text] \nProgram Notes\nGyörgy Ligeti (1923–2006)\nBallad and Dance (1950)\nGyörgy Ligeti composed Baladă și joc (Ballad and Dance) in 1950. The work is a short composition for two violins based on two Romanian folk songs\, the result of Ligeti’s Romanian folk music research conducted at the Folklore Institute of Bucharest in 1949. The work’s two movements are Ballad\, a slow\, melodic\, contrapuntal\, and highly expressive work\, followed by Dance\, which is energetic\, exuberant\, and virtuosic. \nIonica Pop (b. 1967)\nRemembering Ţăranu (2024)\nRemembering Ţăranu was commissioned by the American Romanian Festival after the death of Romanian composer\, musicologist\, and conductor Cornel Ţăranu in 2023. The work is written for string quartet and piano and employs a twelve-tone row\, which also serves as a musical cryptogram\, as the unifying feature. Pop uses Ţăranu’s full name in the cryptogram as follows: C-do\, O-do#\, R-re\, N-fa#\, E-mib\, L-labb; U(t)-do4b\, N-to\, A-fa\, R-re2#\, Ă-la#\, T-dob\, with “Ţăranu” musically spelled in retrograde as “unarăŢ.” Juxtaposed with the incredible structure a twelve-tone work requires is the free implementation of several musical quotations. Among them is the children’s song “Ţăranu e pe câmp” (“The peasant is in the field”). The inclusion of a song that includes “Ţăranu” in its title is doubly meaningful\, as this song was also a favorite of Ţăranu’s daughter\, Cristina\, when she was a child. Other quotations used by the composer include Mozart’s Eine kleine Nachtmusik\, a Romanian “Happy Birthday” song\, “O Tannenbaum\,” Ţăranu’s Remembering Bartók\, and the opening rhythm of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. The middle of the work is aleatoric and improvisatory in nature\, so that no two performances will ever be the same. This is the world premiere of Remembering Ţăranu. \nNichita Stanescu\nHow to invent a flower (A inventa o floare)\nPassages from the poem will be read during the performance of the Remembering Ţăranu. \nRomanian:\nDin nou mă sprijin numai de cuvinte\nNu e nici o muzică să izbucnească din osul nimănui\nȘi nici sufletul nu are în sine liniștea potrivită orelor fericite legănate în adaosul de alcool blând.\nȘi nici prietenul cel puternic și apropiat tristeților și marilor idei.\nȘi nici femeia credincioasă\ncă o bătrână vulpe gravidă și atotștiutoare\nîn amănunțitele treburi ale câmpiei.\nȘi nici îngerul tatuat cu hărți\,\nnici unul\nnu este de față.\nNumai cuvintele\, numai ele prea puțin doritele\,—\ncă niște mercenari nervoși\nîmi urmăresc gestul inimii amorțind\,\njetul privirii pulverizând\nimaginile tradiționale ale lumii mele\nalergând sub ramuri\, înotând în mare levitând în aerul plin de simunuri\nEnglish:\nAgain I rely only on words\nThere is no music erupting from anyone’s bone of the heart\nAnd neither does the soul have within itself the tranquility suitable for hours swayed in the addition of mild alcohol.\nAnd neither is the strong and close friend of sorrows and grand ideas\,\nAnd neither the faithful woman\nlike an old fox\, pregnant and all knowing\nin the detailed affairs of the field\nAnd neither the angel tattooed with maps\,\nNot one of them\nIs present.\nOnly the words\, only they the ones very little desired\,\nlike angry mercenaries\nfollow the gesture of my heart\, numbing\,\nthe jet of a gaze pulverizing\nthe traditional images of my world\nrunning under the branches\, swimming in the sea levitating in the air full of simooms[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column]
