Summary/Abstract: The article offers a detailed analysis of one of the most interesting examples of domestic chamber vocal music of the end of the twentieth century — "The Old Provençal Ballatas" by S. Pislari on G. Faydit's verses. Special attention is paid to the genre and stylistic features of the works, revealing the identity of the musical language. The main place is given to the issues of forma modelling in the "Old Provençal Ballata", fact that is due to the innovative attitude of the composer to working with the poetic text. Written in disused colloquial dialect, it determines the choice of the basic means of musical expression — melody, harmony, texture. An important distinction of the work is the composition of its performers as well, a female voice and the violin, both are monophonic by their nature. The dialogical texture of the composition combines the features of contrast polyphony and heterophony, which further contributes to the individualization of the composer's intent.
