Research results

The results of the research undertaken within the project focus on important areas such as national musical culture and folk music heritage related to musicological research, ethnomusicology, etc.

The impact of the results obtained in the project is of major importance and contributes to the development of documentation and research of the musical heritage of the Republic of Moldova (folklore and composition), enriching the sources of information on the Annotated Register of Composers of the Republic Moldova and the Digital Register of the AMTAP Folklore Archive, by increasing the volume of knowledge about public and private music collections and integrating them in the Registers, by introducing in the scientific circuit of important collections that are part of the national music repertoire.

The scientific research carried out within the project contains elements of originality and novelty, because until now in the Republic of Moldova the issue of capitalizing on professional musical creation as a component part of the musical heritage of the Republic of Moldova has not been addressed. For the first time, the funds of the organ hall library and the archive of the Union of Composers and Musicologists were examined and capitalized. The field of documentation and research of the Musical Heritage of the Republic of Moldova (folklore and compositional creation) was developed by enriching the sources of information on the Annotated Register of the creations of composers from the Republic of Moldova.

The digital register of the AMTAP Folklore Archive, made for the first time in the Republic of Moldova, is a unique scientific achievement, given both the lack of such archival documents in other similar Archives in Moldova and Romania, and its size. It includes over 20 catalog items, including scientific annotations representing a database with elements of primary scientific research.

This will have a major impact not only in the field of subsequent ethnomusicological research, but also on the development of national musical culture in general, on the formation of vocal and instrumental repertoires of performers, as well as on the processes of safeguarding folklore.

The documentation of the national music patrimony constitutes the research field of the project, being a relatively new one for the musicology, ethnomusicology of the Republic of Moldova. The aim of the project lies in the development of the field of documentation and research of the musical heritage in the Republic of Moldova by examining and capitalizing on public and private funds and music collections.

Cataloging methods have been developed and  instructions on structuring information about compositional creation. The documentation in the field of digital cataloging and elaboration of databases related to musical folklore was performed. The delimitation for investigation periods of the audio materials from the Folklore Archive of AMTAP was performed. It was introduced in the Digital Register on compositional creation, and in the Digital Register of the Folklore Archive of a number of academic musical works and folk music sources.
