On some changes in the choir and liturgical practice of the Russian Orthodox Church in the 20th century

Abstract

This article deals with the development and modification of those liturgical practices of the Russian Orthodox Church that are related to church singing in the 20th — early 21st centuries. It aims to demonstrate the deep relationship between the practical side of the church service and its theoretical foundation, which explains the non-linear development of liturgical practices in specifically tragic periods of Church life.
