Summary/Abstract: In the early years of the 20th century, the "Meeting of Traders and Craftsmen from Alba Iulia" was established in Alba Iulia. This organization had three important purposes: to establish a lodge, a library, and a vocal choir. The choral formation of this association represented for the musical culture of our town a symbiosis between church choral music and secular choral music. Conductors and choristers offered concerts for the public who loved the art of sound both in the town's churches and in the "Caragiale" Theater hall. The choral band's repertoire was a diverse one that included both church pieces, pieces from the local secular repertoire, as well as musical parts from international operas.
