Summary/Abstract: Remaining as one of the least affected lands by the influences of the times, keeper of tradition, Maramureș still breathes in the present era a strong vibration of its ethnic and historical antiquity. Maramureș, the land of the “free Dacians”, considers itself here as a free people, living in an eternity that they included in their clothing, in speech, in songs and faith. Maramureş is protected for the loyalty that the inhabitants show towards tradition. One of the aspects of the Maramureș Tradition is the spiritual part of prayer and the broad ensemble of liturgical, choral or psaltic chants in the church. We evoke the role of monasteries in the affirmation of the chant in Maramureș.
