Abstract:
The article analyzes the choral works, based on the psalm texts, by Hanna Havrylets,
the famous Ukrainian composer, laureate of the Shevchenko National Prize. Ukrainian composers of past epochs repeatedly referred to these texts, using them to create their choral concerts. In the works of H. Havrylets, the psalm texts receive a new musical interpretation, enriched by the modern interpretation of genre traditions and innovations of the musical language. The methodology of the research is a comprehensive approach to the study of this phenomenon. It is based on the reference to the historical and analytical methods. The historical method provides grounds for identifying
several traditional features that can be found in choral concerts written over the past time. The analytical method allows making reasonable conclusions regarding the peculiarities of the implementation of the psalm texts in large concert compositions for the choir
