Summary/Abstract: Visarion the Protopsalt was one of the representative voices in the early days of the transcription of the notation from kukuzelian into Chrysantic. Being one of the outstanding personalities of the musical school from Neamţ Monastery, his work consisted not only of transcriptions but also of beautiful compositions. The stichera of the Resurrection of Christ present inspired structures both from a rhythmical and melodic point of view, which sketch the Romanian style impressed on the Byzantine tradition we inherited.
