Summary/Abstract: In Câmpulung-Muscel there are known by name some music teachers, trained in the Romanian schools founded by Macarie the Hieromonk in the first half of the 19th century. After 1850, the teacher Gheorghe Căciulă opened music schools in Pietroșița and Câmpulung-Muscel, in the Romanian language, leaving many apprentices to serve in the churches in the area. Not much is known about him, but several manuscripts containing his compositions are preserved. In this article I present an unpublished manuscript of the composer Gheorghe Căciulă ,indicating in double notation the beginning of the songs. This material is adapted from the chapter “Unpublished musical manuscripts in the Library of the Archdiocese of Argeș” of my doctoral thesis, entitled „Romanian musical culture of Byzantine tradition in the area of Argeș, Pitești and Câmpulung-Muscel, sec. XIX-XX”, defended in 2013, at the National University of Music in Bucharest, under the supervision of Arch. prof. dr. Sebastian Barbu-Bucur.
