Abstract

The article examines two directions of development of sacred music in the 20th century – sacred music pertaining to church genres, which possesses certain features of concert music, and secular music based on religious subjects – both of which differ in their genesis. The sacred concert music bases itself on the genre system and the musical language of church music, whereas secular religious music is genetically connected with the art of the concert hall.

Keywords: sacred concert music, secular religious music, the artistic canon of sacred concert music
