About article:
This study maps the basic features of Godar’s compositional language, particularly in four works:
Ricercar for several versions of chamber instrumentation, where the piano has an important
sound-painting and harmonic position, Sequence for violin and piano, Talisman for violin, cello
and piano, and Sonata in Memory of Viktor Shklovsky for cello and piano, where the piano is both
an accompanying and a solo instrument. In these works one can find common denominators:
expressive motivic work, movement in tonal, modal, chromatic or atonal space, preference for
one interval – for example the minor second (semi-tone) or minor third in combination with
tritone, rich use of triadic chords from triads through seventh chords to harmonic clusters, and
work with contrast in a variety of layers and parameters of musical structure. Apart from the
common features, each of the compositions has its distinctive individual features also.
