Summary/Abstract: Ion Vidu remains known in the history of Romanian music par excellence for his choral creations. If his choral creation of secular inspiration was thoroughly researched by great names of Romanian musicology, such as Doru Popa or Viorel Cosma, the choral creation of religious inspiration, significant, could not be sufficiently debated due to the historical vicissitudes in which the main works on Vidu were written. However, the musicologist Viorel Cosma left us a general catalog of Vidu's creation, which includes his religious creation. Because 60 years have passed since the publication of Cosma's work, perhaps the most important Romanian biographical contribution on the Vidu’s subject, we thought it appropriate to analyze comparatively the information left by the musicologist with what we can find today in the funds of scores of different Banat institutions.
