Abstract

The Romanian repertoire is rich if we refer to the one dedicated to the Christian elements to praising the Lord, the Virgin Mary, or to the creations of the type Ave Maria, Our Father, Requiem, cantata, etc. Romanian composers created works about the glory of God and of the Mother of God, displaying a special approach to the texts of these prayers. In the Romanian vocal art at the end of the 20th c. and the beginning of the 21st c., if we concentrate on the soloist repertoire for soprano, the choral and vocal symphonic repertoire, we discover the following terms of reference which can be associated with the research of elements of Christian tradition and spirituality in the Romanian musical culture from George Enescu until the present day.
