Summary/Abstract: Gheorghe Danga is a well-known composer in our church for his religious works. A large part of his creațion includes many secular and patriotic compozițions. This article aims to detail this aspect, starting with the compozitions of his teenage years, since he begun to compose since the age of 16-17. He composed many reference folklore works that are sung a lot in our country and even in othersat various festivals or choral competitions. Also, patriotic compozitions had a special place in his work, the most important being the „Choral suite 190”, the largest among his creațions, a work who captures the events of the peasant uprising of 1907. Of course, to be complete as a composer, he wrote some songs for children, and also instrumental and vocal-instrumental works, and choirs with orchestra. So I consider that it is absolutely needed that his entire compozitional work to be known, in order to have a complete image of the Composer Gheorghe Danga.
