Abstract

The purpose of the research is to highlight the processes of introducing the principles of European instrumental music in the choral works of Ukrainian composers of the second half of the 18th century. The following research methods are used in the work: analysis, comparison, and synthesis. The research uncovered the following: features of the choral concerto as a genre; stages of its design and development in Ukraine; structure of choral concerts; the nature of the reflection of the principles of classicism in the works of Ukrainian composers; the embodiment of the features of the sonata form and cyclic structure inherent in the works of the Viennese classics in Ukrainian choral music (on the example of works by M. Berezovsky and D. Bortnyansky); aspects of the influence of national (folk-song) sources and ancient choral traditions on the genre of the sacred concert in the works of Ukrainian composers.
