Abstract
In this article, we have tried to identify some of composer and musicologist Cornel Țăranu’s perceptions of the world and its arrangement, through the prism of the core values of his work and of their hierarchy. The musical phenomena such as the types of scales, the type of musical material and the related working principles, the systems of pitches and of textural organization, the individual technological and compositional methods, the styles, genres, forms, timbral and instrumental components – all these are benchmarks or signs that shape the paradigm of the musical work. By piecing the fragments together, we have obtained a captivating mosaic that indicates the cultural/culturological paradigm of Maestro Cornel Țăranu’s oeuvre.

Keywords: Cornel Țăranu, cultural values, musical phenomenon, structural archetypes, model, musical style, polystylistics, developmental methods, time, space
