ACADEMIA DE MUZICĂ BISERICEASCĂ ÎN TRECUT ŞI ASTĂZI
THE CHURCH MUSIC ACADEMY, IN THE PAST AND THE PRESENT

Summary/Abstract: For Romanians, Byzantine music was, in addition to folklore, for over a millennium, the main form of Romanian culture. In its simplest of forms – individual or collective musical learning existed ever since religion or the Christian Church appeared on these reams, since the forms of manifestation of religious practice entails singings, as well. This, however, required schools teaching liturgy, reading and writing, and church singings. Therefore, musical learning in Romanian countries originates, similarly to all the Christian world of the Middle Ages, in the Church’s need to prepare the officiants of the religious cults to carry out liturgical singings.
