Summary/Abstract: Eminescu and his relationship with music is an inter- and transdisciplinary research topic, whose complexity and depth exceed the scope of a single article. Moreover, there are books devoted to this issue, considering the poetic-musical phenomenon generated by the creation of this universal genius. There is an impressive number of musical compositions transposed to Eminescu's lyrics, from folk music, pop music, to romances, lieder, choral music. There is no Romanian or universal poet whose poetic creation has generated so many musical masterpieces. Our perspective on the relationship between Eminescu and music is a philosophical one, starting from the idea that music and philosophy are ingrained in his poetic work, the harmonious combination of music and poetry thus deepening the existential, philosophical meditation, a suigeneris triad in Eminescu's creation.
