The Catholic Church has served as a medium for the spread, development and professional growth of choir\u00a0music for centuries. It is where new genres of church (choir) music emerged and performing groups were formed which left a deep imprint in the history of music. A choir in a church primarily plays the role of servitude, so it has always been necessary in the liturgy of the Catholic Church, as a full-fledged participant. Choir music can give the most convincing account of the philosophical nature of faith through blending text and music \u2013 this way the ideas have an effect on most believers.
\nThe subject of the present research paper covers two complementary components. The first one is choir in the liturgy of the Catholic Church. The second one is religious works by Lithuanian choir\u00a0conductors in the period\u00a01990\u20132015. The notion of a choir has not been clearly defined in Lithuania to date and most Church documents that govern a choir\u2019s activity have not been analysed at all. Finally, it is worthwhile contemplating what choir music in liturgy can and should be like (based on documents) and what music Lithuanian choirmasters used to create in the analysed period.
\nGiven these assumptions, the aim of the research paper is to analyse the notion of a choir\u2019s activity and functionality, its development in the documents of the Catholic Church as well as to characterise the peculiarities of the religious pieces by Lithuanian choirmasters (1990\u20132015) (from the genre, liturgy\u00a0and other\u00a0points of view).
\nTaking account of the specifics of the research paper, the creative part of the present artistic project will also look into and demonstrate at concerts the different approaches to sacral music by composers from various epochs and of diverse nationalities. The creative part of the artistic project will help to reveal\u00a0the aspects of identities and diversities of composers who create or created religious music.<\/p>\n
