Lietuvos bažnytinių kapelų vadovų ir narių kūrybinė veikla (XVIII a. pabaiga–XIX a. I pusė)
Creative achievements of Lithuanian church choir directors and members (late 18th to middle 19th century)

Summary/Abstract: The repertoire of vocal-instrumental ensembles in Lithuanian churches was greatly diverse. All facts prove that in the 18th–19th centuries Lithuanian Church was the main center of the activities of local composers and local musical culture. In Lithuanian churches Polish and Lithuanian compositions prevailed. Much of the repertoire performed by musical groups in churches consisted of selections from creative works of choir directors and members. These musical compositions heard in Lithuanian churches have hardly been researched before now. This article examines the creative works of choir directors and members, relying upon archival sources and fragments of surviving musical manuscripts.
