“…In an article from 1988 on Byzantine musicological research worldwide, Diane Touliatos wrote: "Romania has an active group of scholars producing a steady flow of research," and granted significant space to Romanian research in the field. 48 In 1995, Titus Moisescu, who was a member of the board of Editura Muzicală for more than thirty years and was even its director for a time, compiled statistics on the works published between 1957 and 1990: more than 2,500 titles, of which more than 800 were works of musicology, 49 about 380 of them dealing with Byzantinology. And if we add the works published elsewhere, then the total is more than 550 of which approximately 380 were bilingual or either written already in a foreign language or containing a summary in a foreign language.…”

Abstract:In an atheist society, such as the communist one, all forms of the sacred were anathematized and fiercly sanctioned. Nevertheless, despite these ideological barriers, important articles and volumes of Byzantine -and sometimes Gregorianmusicological research were published in totalitarian Romania. Numerous Romanian scholars participated at international congresses and symposia, thus benefiting of scholarships and research stages not only in the socialist states, but also in places regarded as 'affected by viruses,' such as the USA or the libraries on Mount Athos (Greece). This article discusses the mechanisms through which the research on religious music in Romania managed to avoid ideological censorship, the forms of camouflage and dissimulation of musicological information with religious subject that managed to integrate and even impose over the aesthetic visions of the Party. The article also refers to cultural politics enthusiastically supporting research and valuing the heritage of ancient music as a fundamental source for composers and their creations dedicated to the masses.

The paper presents the circumstances in which musicological medievalism emerged in Serbia after the Second World War as a separate discipline within the research projects of the newly founded Institute of Musicology of the Serbian Academy of Sciences. It focuses on the contributions of three first musicologists medievalists: Milos Velimirovic, Stojan Lazarevic and Dimitrije Stefanovic. It outlines the conditions under which these researchers adopted the methodological principles of the Western musicological school - Monumenta Musicae Byzantinae - which were current at the time but soon became outdated. In light of the disagreements among Western and Greek scholars regarding the approach to the interpretation of the development of neumatic notation immediately before and after the fall of Byzantium, the paper also shows the personal scholarly credo and interests of certain Serbian researchers, as well as their (un)willingness to adopt and even present new knowledge and trends to the wider academic community.
