Summary/Abstract: This study marks the 120th anniversary of passing into eternity of the teacher, conductor and composer Gavriil Musicescu. We present aspects of his life, alongside multiple and creative activities which contributed to the development of Romanian music in the second half of the nineteenth century. In addition to his original works, there are also religious choral and traditional processed masterpieces, to which are added numerous translations and theoretical writings, as well as articles published in Iași of that time. He imposed himself among his contemporaries, and for future generations he remained an unparalleled model, as his work constituting, at the same time, a fundamental source of scientific documentation for researchers.
