 Abstract. This article provides a concise overview of the origins and evolution of Russian spiritual music and studies the peculiarities of working on spiritual songs during the late 20th century through the example of the Academic Choir of Petrozavodsk State University. The research discovered that the choir's founder, Georgy Teratsuyants, deliberately limited the use of Russian spiritual music, even when it gained popularity. The maestro used only a narrow range of compositions that he was familiar with, which became a part of his creative biography. These pieces were all composed by renowned Russian classical composers and were distinct from traditional Orthodox church music.
Keywords: Russian spiritual music, Orthodoxy, part choral singing, Georgy Teratsuyants, Academic Choir of Petrozavodsk State University
