Summary/Abstract: Through his special work, Anton Pann was immortalized in the pantheon of Romanian cultural personalities of all times. His compositional activity materialized in several directions: translator of church songs, composer and collector of folklore. Anton Pann's work has been a rich source of inspiration for many composers, whether in religious music or secular music. His musical creation was the basis of many songs performed today by choirs, psalms and artists. His most important disciple, George Ucenescu, contributed much to the spread of the work of the great protopsalt. Various composers such as: D.G. Kiriac, Ioan D. Chirescu, Nicolae Lungu, Nicu Moldoveanu, etc., used many songs from Anton Pann's collection, and the result was the composition of beautiful songs, performed by many beloved artists and prestigious choral groups.
