Summary/Abstract: Through His Sacrifice and Resurrection from the dead, Christ restores man to his pre-sin state. That is why the two moments are inseparable. The presence of cultic and hymnographic language in the current scientific plea emphasizes the theological heritage of the Church. Highlighting a masterpiece from the Pentecostarion period diversifies the contemporary scientific debate. The presence of “Exaposteilarion”, as an essential piece of the Resurrection Matins, certifies the valorization of the ecclesial musical heritage. The compositional thinking of Nicolae Lungu represents for Romanian church musicology a benchmark for all generations of musicians.
