Summary/Abstract: Of composer Tudor Jarda’s entire oeuvre, his Romanian folk music-inspired choruses most clearly reflect his aesthetic orientation. Preoccupied with transplanting this folkloric element into his choral pieces without altering its expressive features through compositional artifice, Jarda is positioned, from a stylistic point of view, on an axis that begins with Gavriil Musicescu, Gheorghe Dima, Augustin Bena, D. G. Kiriac, Paul Constantinescu etc., and has clear points of convergence with Sabin Drăgoi’s and Sigismund Toduţă’s art, respectively. In Europe, his creative efforts share similarities with Janáček’s Moravian song arrangements or with Kodály’s arrangements of Hungarian folk melodies, demonstrating, however, strong affinities, from a visual point of view, with the handling of line and colour in naïve painting
