Summary/Abstract: Authored by Constantin Cilibia, the review examines Dumitru Jompan’s recent book, "The Bishops of Caransebeș and Music, Vol. II". The reviewed volume highlights the crucial role of three prominent hierarchs—Iosif Traian Bădescu, Vasile Lăzărescu, and Veniamin Nistor—in promoting and preserving the authentic religious choral music of the Banat region. Through extensive archival research, Jompan documents the establishment of church choirs, the founding of the cantors' school, and the broader cultural impact of these bishops on Orthodox liturgical life. Ultimately, the work serves as a valuable historical record of the deep connection between local ecclesiastical leadership and musical tradition.
