Music traditions are strong in Romania. They are expressed in original folk music, with a specific modal-melodic structure and rhythm. Romania is a multinational country, there was a mixture of Moldovan, Gypsy, Hungarian and other cultures. Musical culture has absorbed the characteristics of all peoples living on the territory of Romania. For Romanian folklore, a variety of modes are typical - from the simplest 3-5-step to complex multi-step systems. The songs are monophonic, there are elements of heterophony. Folklore is represented by ritual, lullabies, shepherd's, comic, lyrical songs, epic ballads, crying, etc. One of the most complex and distinctive genres is lyrical doina. There are various folk instrumental tunes, often of an improvisational nature, with rich ornamentation and whimsical rhythm.
There are numerous dance genres, more often these are collective dances - chorus, sirba, bryu, invertita, hacegana. For a long time, festivities with songs and dances (jock) have been widespread in folk life. Among the musical instruments are winds and strings.
In some places in Romania, New Year is called "Little Christmas" As soon as the sun goes down, a candle of pure wax was lit in front of the icon of Christ in every house, which was supposed to burn all night. Doors and thresholds in the house, in the premises for livestock, in grain storages were coated with garlic and all sorts of melted fat. With the same composition, they put the sign of the cross on pets and smeared themselves and all family members. According to popular beliefs, in this way it was possible to protect oneself from the wiles of the devil. This evening, like Christmas Eve, was rich in all kinds of carols. One of the most ancient and colorful New Year's customs among the Romanians was the plugusorul. In those areas where it was performed, only the poor and smaller boys took part in caroling. After pronouncing carols and congratulating the owners of the house, the latter presented plowshares, like at Christmas: rolls, nuts, apples, money, etc. So they went from house to house until midnight. And then, having divided the gifts as brothers and wishing each other happiness in the new year, they dispersed.

Excerpt from the Holidays in Romania
Rostov kept thinking about this brilliant feat of his, which, to his surprise, acquired the St. George Cross for him and even made him a reputation for being a brave man - and could not understand anything at all. “So they are even more afraid of ours! He thought. - So only that is all, that which is called heroism? And did I do this for the fatherland? And what is he to blame with his hole and blue eyes? And how scared he was! He thought I was going to kill him. Why should I kill him? My hand trembled. And they gave me the St.George cross. Nothing, I don't understand anything! "But while Nikolai was processing these questions in himself and still did not give himself a clear account of what had embarrassed him so much, the wheel of happiness in the service, as is often the case, turned in his favor. He was pushed forward after the Ostrovnensky case, they gave him a battalion of hussars and, when it was necessary to employ a brave officer, they gave him instructions.
Having received news of Natasha's illness, the countess, still not quite healthy and weak, with Petya and the whole house came to Moscow, and the whole Rostov family moved from Marya Dmitrievna to their house and completely settled in Moscow.
Natasha's illness was so serious that, to the happiness of her and to the happiness of her family, the thought of everything that was the cause of her illness, her act and the break with her fiancé passed into the background. She was so ill that it was impossible to think about how much she was to blame for everything that happened, while she did not eat, did not sleep, noticeably lost weight, coughed and was, as the doctors made it felt, in danger. All I had to think about was helping her. The doctors visited Natasha both separately and in consultation, spoke a lot in French, German and Latin, condemned each other, prescribed a variety of medicines for all diseases known to them; but none of them had the simple idea that they could not be aware of the disease that Natasha suffered, just as no disease that a living person is possessed by can be known: for every living person has his own characteristics and always has a special and new, complex, unknown to medicine disease, not a disease of the lungs, liver, skin, heart, nerves, etc., recorded in medicine, but a disease consisting of one of the innumerable compounds in the suffering of these organs. This simple thought could not come to doctors (just as a sorcerer cannot come to the idea that he cannot conjure) because their life's work was to heal, because they received money for that, and because they spent the best years of their lives on this business. But the main thing is that this thought could not come to the doctors because they saw that they were undoubtedly useful, and were really useful for all the Rostovs at home. They were useful not because they forced the patient to swallow mostly harmful substances (this harm was not very sensitive, because harmful substances were given in small quantities), but they were useful, necessary, inevitable (the reason is why there are always and will be imaginary healers, sorcerers, homeopaths and allopaths) because they satisfied the moral needs of the patient and people who love the patient. They satisfied that eternal human need for hope for relief, the need for sympathy and activity that a person experiences during suffering. They satisfied that eternal, human - noticeable in a child in its most primitive form - the need to rub the place that was bruised. The child will be killed and immediately runs into the arms of the mother, the nanny, in order to be kissed and rubbed at the sore spot, and it becomes easier for him when the sore spot is rubbed or kissed. The child does not believe that the strongest and wisest of him do not have the means to help his pain. And the hope of relief and the expression of sympathy while his mother rubs his bump consoles him. The doctors were useful for Natasha in that they kissed and rubbed the bobo, assuring that it would pass now, if the coachman went to the Arbat pharmacy and took seven hryvnia of powders and pills in a pretty box for a ruble, and if these powders would certainly be in two hours, no more and no less, the patient will take it in boiled water.
Today one of the main national holidays is celebrated in Romania - every year on December 1, Romanians celebrate the anniversary of the unification of the country in 1918 and the formation of the Romanian state within its present borders.
The history of today's holiday - Day of National Unity of Romania(Ziua Marii Uniri / Great Union Day in Romania) - dates back to December 1, 1918, when representatives of the Romanians from Transylvania and Banat voted to unite with the Kingdom of Romania.
The First World War turned into a terrible disaster for the European peoples. Millions of people died and were mutilated in a monstrous meat grinder, tens of millions became refugees. The countries along which the front lines passed suffered enormous destruction. Romania was among the states caught in the epicenter of the disaster.
A small people courageously took the side of Russia and the Entente. As a result, after a year and a half of fierce fighting, the country was occupied. The victory of the allies was achieved far from the Romanian territory, but it was a common great victory of the peoples who stood for peace and justice against the cynical "struggle for a place in the sun."
Thanks to this victory, the Romanian people were able to fulfill the dream of their great thinkers - to find national unity! Enormous creative energy, hopes and a burst of enthusiasm from all walks of life have led to a qualitative breakthrough.
Romania traditionally greets this day with military parades and official speeches of popular political leaders in Bucharest. The national flag is hoisted over the buildings. Most citizens have a rest on Unity Day; this day is also a day off in schools and universities.
