SPACE AND TIME SOUND IN THE LIGHT OF TRADITIONAL MUSICAL THINKING — VALUE AND CONTENTS

The sound, we refer to the intonational one, presents a large and profound diversity, both at the level of our traditional national culture and at the level of other ethnic cultures. With all the diversity of these cultures, that are characterized by a variery similar to the linguistic one, understanding, highlighting the musical (premusical) sonorous phenomenon, has a trajectory of developement that is, for the most part, similar. The evolution of the attitude towards the sound (intonational), of its usage and exploitation by man/community in different historical epochs follows a complex path. The human sonorous vocal source and the phisical/instrumental one represent two existential states of the sound that are treated in the traditional culture according to the principle of unity and conflict of opposites, namely in the dynamic balance of the opposites is manifested the man`s striving to improvement. We will try, on the basis of Romanian folkloric culture, which is preceded by an immense Thracian-Getic-Dacian culture (and by a prehistoric epoch), to reveal the great diversity of the manifestation of the sound phenomenon in the space-time plan and will aim at undesrstanding it in the light of traditional musical thinking
