As a result of the study, the author managed to clear out the fact that the genre of choral arrangements of the sacred song by Ukrainian composers has only begun to be an object of attention to modern musicologists. Due to the conducted source-study and bibliographical work the researcher was a success to discover dozens of score with arrangements of sacred songs by Ukrainian process is the fact that many of choral score were published in collections of work of various authors (О.

The creative process of the choral processing of Ukrainian spiritual songs for the given period can be divided into two stages (from the beginning of the 90s of the 19th century until about 1910s and from the 1910s to the mid-40s of the 20th century). Each of them is distinguished by its specifics, creative, original methods used by Ukrainian composers. As a result of the conducted musical source-study and textual analysis, it was clarified that most choral arrangements are written on the lyrics of the Pochaiv "Bohohlasnyk" (1790 – 1791), its reprints and editions in the XIX century. Many musical and poetic texts for choral arrangements are drawn from the collection of P. Demuts’ky "Lira and her motives" (K., 1903) and directly from the folkloric songbook.
