Biography

Youth and education

Doga was born on 1 March 1937 in the village of Mocra in the Rîbniţa District (then in Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic), in a Romanian family.

The childhood of the composer coincided with a period of historical cataclysms – the war, repressions, hunger, poverty, exhausting hard work (the composer's memories of his childhood [10] ).

After finishing seven years at school, Eugen Doga with his friends went to Chișinău (barefoot and without money, as he recalled later [11] ) to enroll in the School of Music of which he learned about when listening to a homemade radio. He was admitted to the music school, despite having no prior training. Thanks to his natural talent and hard work, Eugen Doga managed to quickly catch up, mastered musical notation and learned to play cello. He still has the fondest memories of his cello teacher Pablo Giovanni Baccini, who with his personal example greatly influenced the future destiny of the composer.

"My second teacher, an old man by the name of Pavel Ivanovich Bachinin, became my salvation. I always think of him with joy. He scheduled my first lesson at 6 o'clock in the morning. I came in – he was already sitting there playing the piano. I liked him a lot – intelligent, very musical, and tactful. He worked with me every morning from 6:00 to 8:30, before lectures, for two and a half years. He taught me not only to play the cello, but simply to be a decent human being. He never said the word 'must', never used the imperative mood. However, through his own example, his attitude, he had taught me a lot," [12] - says Eugen Doga.

In 1951–1955 he studied at the Music School in Chișinău, specializing in cello, and then at the Conservatory where one of his classmates was a future opera star Maria Bieșu. She made her debut with his song [13] "White flower garden" (Floare de dalbă liadă) on the Moldovan television. Paralysis of the left hand prevented a career of a musician – this was due to the fact that he used to live in a basement. [14] Doga studied for another 5 years at the Art Institute "Gavriil Musicescu", [15] in the class of Professor S. Lobel specializing in composition. 1 January 1957 for the first time in his work, "New Year song" (Cântec de anul nou) was performed on the Moldovan radio children's choir and orchestra under the baton Shiko Aranova. [16] In 1963, he wrote his first string quartet.

[18]

He made his compositional debut in 1963, with a string quartet.

Concert activity

Since 1972 with his concerts he has traveled all over the territory of the former Soviet Union, also some foreign countries.

"The image of the person is defined by his deeds that ultimately benefit people and society. And the concerts that I give in Chișinău, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kursk or Bucharest, are aimed at precisely this idea of bringing people together, preserving the ideals that make people kinder, more tolerant, that make flowers bloom, and the sun shine brighter,"- says Eugen Doga. [19]

Eugen Doga's concerts took place in the biggest concert halls. They "gathered huge audiences", [20] and they still do so today. "...There were so many offenses because of Eugen Doga's concerts; people just did not want to talk to me. They told me: "I have been asking you for three years, and you can't arrange Eugen Doga's concert." And I really couldn't, because he was very busy. In Leningrad there was a concert orchestra conducted by Anatoly Badhen, a wonderful orchestra, unequaled in the Soviet Union, which played high-quality music. This orchestra for many years gave a lot of concerts with Eugen Doga's music everywhere, throughout the Soviet Union" – Mikhail Murzak. Philharmonic Director of Chișinău (1972–1988 years). [21]

Creation

Film music

In 1967, Eugen Doga began writing music for cinema and it became a regular engagement for many years. "The first movie with my music came out in 1968, the last – in 2011. Cinema is a whole separate life, my most important and favorite genre. In cinema music I was able to express all of my stylistic aspirations; I got to work with great orchestras, musicians, and movie directors from around the world" [75] – says Eugen Doga.

Eugen Doga's debut as a movie composer was in 1967 in the movie directed by George Voda "We need a gatekeeper for anime" [76] based on the fairytale "Ivan Turbinca" by Ion Creanga – a fantastic story about amazing adventures of a soldier from the royal army, who was invited to serve as a guard of the gates to paradise.

He continues to write music for movies. Not a single composer before Eugen Doga has worked so intensively and fruitfully in this studio. From 1960s to 1970s he wrote music for almost half of the movies produced by the studio "Moldova-Film." There was a running joke in the studio that it should be renamed into "MolDoga Film". [77]

Film music. Emil Loteanu

In 1970, Eugen Doga began his creative collaboration with director Emil Loteanu, starting with the movie "Lautarii" (1973, 13, 8 million viewers [78] )) about folk musicians of Moldova, whose music he used to listen to as a child. Eugen Doga grew up in a region where, according to him, there were "great folk traditions," where his maternal ancestors lived (the composer kept the book of the genealogic tree of his mother's family going back 300 years [79] ). Based on that folklore, he wrote the music for the movie which created a furor and brought the authors a Silver shell at the International Film Festival in San Sebastian.

After that a tight creative collaboration between the composer and the famous Moldovan director. In the end of 1971 on the poem by Gh. Vodă Doga wrote the song "My white city", [80] which became a musical symbol of the capital of the republic, and which is performed hourly by the chimes at the turret of the City Hall of Chișinău. [81] A future pop star Sofia Rotaru debuted with this song, and the song became one of the most popular around the whole of the former Soviet Union.

In 1976, already at Mosfilm, Eugen Doga together with Loteanu created the movie "Queen of the Gypsies"(1976, Soviet leader rolled in 1976, 65 million viewers, copies have been sold in 120 countries. [82] ) – a romantic legend about a dramatic love of two young and proud gypsies. This picture won the Grand Prix – the "Golden shell" at the International Film Festival in San Sebastian. In order to create the music for this movie, Eugen Doga studied gypsy folklore around the whole of the Soviet Union. [83] In 1978, for a film adaptation of the novel by Anton Chekhov "Drama at the hunt," Loteanu again engaged Eugen Doga. The movie is called A Hunting Accident (1978, 26 million. viewers [84] ) A famous waltz from the movie became wildly popular; [85] it has become a cult, many newlyweds use it for their first dance and you can often hear it on the radio and TV.

"I felt that popularity as well: I will never forget a huge line at the music store on the Garden Ring Road, where they were selling music records with soundtrack to the movie A Hunting Accident, [86] recalls the composer. This waltz is now performed around the world. It was performed during the mass gymnastic composition (2000 athletes) at the opening of the Olympic Games in 1980; [87] it was also used in the scene of the first ball of Natasha Postova at the opening ceremony of the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi. [88] Ronald Reagan called it "the waltz of the century" when he visited Moscow. [89] Today this tune is performed every day not only in sounds not only in Marriage Registrations Hall, but also on subway, and on the streets; it is often by choreographers for staging of ballet and dance routines, [90] and by athletes. [91] [92] This waltz is considered the most well-known movie waltz. [93] [94]

Victoria Demici, a British-Romanian writer, is the author of the lyrics versions of the famous Waltz 'My Sweet and Tender Beast'. She wrote both the Romanian (2012) and the English (2022) lyrics for Doga's masterpiece. Paula Seling and Catalina Caraus are singing the poetry versions of the Waltz.

In the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s Eugen Doga continued to write a lot of music for cinema. [96] Music in movies not only enhances the emotional coloring of the action, but it continues to live for years after the movie is released, and is performed in concerts as well.

Dozens of movies [97] shot in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kyiv and other cities will have in their credits the name of Eugen Doga. In Palermo and in San Sebastian, in Bucharest and in Moscow jury always together with the talent of directors recognized the contribution by the composer – "rare, poetic music, and its full integration with the storyline." For the music written for movies the composer has been awarded a number of prizes and awards. [98]

The other Doga's celebrated waltz is Gramophone (Граммофон), composed in 1992, for the nonsuccessful Belarusian crime film Without Evidence (Без улик).

His creative talent is characterized by free use of different genres and styles. Eugen Doga believes that a professional composer must be able to write in any genre of music. The main thing in music Eugen Doga considers the melody.

He has written a symphony (1969), ballets "Luceafarul" (1983) [104] and "Venancia" (1989), [105] the opera "Dialogues of Love" (2014), [106] six string quartets, cantatas "White Rainbow" (verses E.Loteanu), "Spring of mankind" (verses A.

Ballets

In the early 1970s, Eugen Doga began writing a ballet based on the poem Luceafărul [107] – the greatest work by the classic of Romanian literature Mihai Eminescu. However, he was only able to continue after a long period of time.

"Only ten years later Luceafărul relented and graced my music sheets, creating a world that drew me in so strongly, drew me in so much that I felt like in a short period of time I had lived a whole eternity," – said the composer. In 1983 the ballet was written in 2+12 months – 500 pages of a complicated musical score. The ballet "Lucheaferul" premiered [108] on June 6, 1983, at the National Theatre of Opera and Ballet and it was performed on that stage for several years. In 1984 for the ballet "Lucheaferul" Eugen Doga was awarded the State Prize of the USSR. The ballet was also performed in Moscow at the Bolshoi Theater, [109] at the Kremlin Palace of Congresses, and was filmed by the Leningrad TV. Several performances took place in St. Petersburg, Minsk, Kyiv and Odesa. It was staged for the second time in 2007 at the National Opera and Ballet Theatre of Moldova. [110] It was also presented to the public in the open air in front of the Central cathedral in the park in Chișinău in 2009. [111] The music from the ballet was often performed in various concerts – in Ateneu Roman in 2007, [112] in 2012 in Bucharest, [113] in the Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow in 2012.

This ballet has become one of the pinnacles of the composer's creative career.

A fantastic storyline of a fairy tale by Eminescu was first expressed in the language of music. A dream of love, a collapse of romantic illusions, cosmic infinity of the stellar world and earthly reality are all outlined with completed musical images in continuous symphonic development using the combination of traditional techniques of Western European and Russian theater classics and national character of musical images. [114]

"For example, where did the musical images in my ballet come from? They come from somewhere in the Carpathians and even further out,"- says Eugen Doga. [115]

And images of his next ballet "Venancia" came from the other hemisphere. Eugen Doga visited Nicaragua, Argentina, Honduras, Brazil [116] where he studied unique folklore of Latin American countries and collected material for a ballet. The music of these countries combines the origins of the European music with the ancient folklore of the Indians. It presents an incredible diversity of styles, sophisticated rhythms and melodies. Due to the collapse of the Soviet Union, the ballet was not staged. The storyline of the ballet – romance, love, fight for freedom. The premiere of a concert version of the ballet took place in 2007 in Chișinău (Moldova) performed by the orchestra, chorus and soloists of the Moldavian Philharmonic. [117] In 2008, the music to the ballet was performed in Bucharest, [118] and in 2012 – in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatoire. [119]

Currently, he is working on another ballet, "Queen Margot", but it is not finished yet.

Opera "Dialogues of Love"

In 1972 Eugen Doga for the first time wrote two works for chorus on the poems by a genius of Romanian literature Mihai Eminescu.

In the creative work of Eugen Doga, the poetry by Mihai Eminescu and his lover, poet Veronica Micle occupied a very important place. In 1983 he created ballet based on a fantastic story of the poem by Mihai Eminescu.

In 1996 the composer was presented with a collection of poems "Dor nemângâiat" [120] by Veronica Micle. Eugen Doga wrote more than 40 romance songs on poems of Mihai Eminescu and Veronica Micle. Since he got so inspired by the dramatic love story of these two poets, he wrote an opera about it (first aria written for the opera "Do not cry" Nu plînge. Liric by Veronica Micle [121] ).

Music for stage plays and radio plays

Eugen Doga wrote music also for animated films, for a series of films from multi-episode TV show for the Central TV channel This Fantastical World. [122] The work was based on materials of Russian and Western science fiction writers. The characters participated in adventures to distant planets, and the composer was supposed to create music that would transport the viewers to those imaginary distant worlds.

Songs were used for the verses R. Bradbury, N. Hikmet, А. Tolstoy, M. Voloshin. Leading gear was pilot-cosmonaut Georgy Grechko.

It is generally considered Eminescu's masterpiece, one of the greatest accomplishments in Romanian literature, and one of the last milestones in Europe's romantic poetry. One in a family or "constellation" of poems, it took Eminescu ten years to conceive, its final shape being partly edited by the philosopher Titu Maiorescu. During this creative process, Eminescu distilled Romanian folklore, Romantic themes, and various staples of Indo-European myth, arriving from a versified fairy tale to a mythopoeia, a self-reflection on his condition as a genius, and an illustration of his philosophy of love.
