Abstract
The article reveals the role of musical criticism in the formation
and development of the Russian sacred music concert as a form
of public presentation of church music during the course of the
19th and early 20th century. A list is made of prerevolutionary
newspapers and journals on the pages of which issues of concert
activities of Russian church choirs are discussed and a set of
publications in the journal “Khorovoye i regentskoye delo” [“The
Job of the Chorister and Choirmaster”] connected with this topic
is characterized. Characterization is given to the musicians whose
activities as music critics were conducive to the perfection of
the forms and content of sacred music concerts, among which
were S. Smolensky, A. Nikolsky, N. Kompaneysky, I. Lipayev
and others. The main directions of music criticism are examined:
the principles of compilation of concert programs of the choral
ensembles, the differences between the concert and the church
manners of performance, as well as the development of the
culture of the listeners. The aforementioned issues are extremely
topical at the present time as well.
Keywords: Russian sacred music concerts, musical criticism,
