The Orthodox Church music in Transylvania, unlike the other regions of the country, had a special path. Circulating in oral form, it was first fixed in writing, in 1890, in the collection belonging to Professor Dimitrie Cunţanu. Alongside this, there were other attempts to fix in music notation a local variant or to supplement and disseminate some of the indigenous musical variants. Analysing the content of these musical works, we can observe the similarities and the distinctions that can be seen both at the melodic line and at the level of the cadential structures. Circulating in an academic form, but also in an oral variant, both styles are part of the same Transylvanian church musical tradition, having their source in Byzantine music.
Keywords: church music, orality, “cunțanu style”, uniformization.
