Summary/Abstract: The article brings to the attention of the academic community an original choral composition composed in the 1930s, of considerable cultural, historical and artistic significance, relevant both for researchers and performers: The Fantasy Suite for a cappella choir Limba noastră by Anatol Solomon, to the well-known lyrics of Alexei Mateevici. The work experienced a “turbulent” history, remaining unknown in the Romanian cultural space for more than five decades. It was only in 1998 that it was first performed in Craiova, followed by the recording of a fragment by the Choir of the Romanian Patriarchate. The Chișinău premiere of this creation will take place during the Interbelic- Fest festival, in September 2025. The present study aims to highlight certain musical-compositional features and folkloric origins, which outline the originality of this work, that deserves to claim a place in the Romanian choral musical heritage.
