New stylistic trends in the universal concert spiritual academic choral composition at the beginning of the XXI century

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to familiarize the reader with the current trends of academic choral composition and to examine various aspects and achievements inherited from the previous century’s stylistic periods. Having studied numerous publications and electronic sources, the author of the article has selected to present some of the most impressive, in the opinion of Western music critics, spiritual choral works by composers from different countries, continents, and cultures. The synthesis of the styles of European and Latin American music, those of India, Israel and the Far East, the innovations of Polish, British, US and Baltic choral art combine in a new crucible of mutual discoveries. A similar phenomenon is now being witnessed in the Republic of Moldova. The accomplishments of the Moldavian school of composition in this domain are also noted in this study.
