His Eminence Metropolitan Vladimir, the Primate of the Orthodox Church of Moldova, today conveyed a message of condolence on the repose in the Lord of the great composer Eugen Doga.
We received with sorrow the news of the passing into eternity of the renowned composer and full member of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova, Mr Eugen Doga.
Through the decades-long activity he carried out, Mr Doga enriched the national cultural treasury, publishing a series of fundamental works.
His work, so widely known and deeply appreciated, remains an invaluable legacy in the cultural history of our country.
We pray to the Most Merciful God to receive into His eternal dwellings the soul of His newly-departed servant Eugen and to grant him rest in the peace and light of the Kingdom of Heaven.
May his memory be eternal from generation to generation!
With fatherly condolences,
† VLADIMIR
Metropolitan of Chișinău and All Moldova
