Summary/Abstract: The musical art was never for the use of the ears, but for the soul and for the spirit. This is the credo of master Aurel Stroe in one’s of his most unknown works of his career, Melodramas in Job’s Book (from the Old Testament). The example of Job is so relevant in the context of the cultural movement of Antim Monastery from Bucharest in 1950-1960 periods, so it deserves a special study on this theme.
