  Abstract:  The "Axionarul" from Cluj in Grigorie Ţurcan’s Transcription. În 1943 a named Grigorie Ţurcan, prints an "Axionar" with liniar Keys, according to the blessing given by the bishop Nicolae Colan. Only a few data are known about the life and the activity of this deacon. It is acknowledged that he is Moldavian (from Basarabia), he becomes deacon in Jassy, Bukarest, Cluj, and then, in 1947 he retreats at the Neamţ Monastery, where he dies and is buried. He is the author of other 4 works of church music, three being transcriptions and one is a Lithurgy for man choir, harmonised after simitrie Cuntanu''s melodies. Unfortunately, the four manuscripts have not been found yet. The "Axionarul" from Cluj belongs to an older tradition of transcription of church asaltic melodies, tradition started in Cluj by Traian Vulpescu, who transcripted "Cântările Sfintei Liturghii (Saint Lithurgy Songs (Hymns)", work published at Cluj in 1939.
