Summary/Abstract: From the panoply of the historical figures of the European space, at the end of the Middle Ages, was detached a typology with Romanian spirit: the outlaws. In spite of some of their bloody actions, they were considered positive heroes, there appeared numerous legends around their courageous deeds. The popular theatre took over the social theme in the dramatic play of the Jienii. At the same time, with the appearance of Romanian religious music, the themes of the vaudeville (light comedy) affirmed that outlaws` figure. Resounding translations of outlaws’ ballads, fallowed both in choral and vocal symphonic genres, as well as in the lyrical theatre (opera, operetta and ballet). The specificity of the character along side with the musical language that presumes the capitalization of folklore are distinctive marks of Romanian musical dramaturgy.
