Summary/Abstract: This paper represents a more detailed research of one of the defining stylistic aspects for equal voices choral creation composed by Dan Voiculescu. The composer managed to enrich the children's repertoire with important works, starting from the premise that it must be close to the contemporary musical language. Polyphony, in its various forms, gives this type of repertoire stylistic unity and offers many possibilities for modernizing the choral language. Dan Voiculescu uses poliphony to exploit and materialize it in a multitude of compositional devices. The most used polyphonic process in Voiculescu's choral creation is imitative polyphony. It is materialized in various forms, being connected mainly by the tradition of its application from ancient times (Renaissance, Baroque) to the present day.
