CHORAL ART OF UKRAINE AS A SOCIO-CULTURAL PHENOMENON

National development and symbols of spiritual potential are one of the main factors in the formation of the socio-cultural image of the state. Ukraine has historically formed the aesthetic phenomenon of choral art, which preserved the national peculiarities of the language, traditions, and values inherent in the Ukrainian ethnos and accumulated the socio-cultural experience of generations. The choral art of Ukraine is a phenomenon that imitates the singing ethnocultural archetype implemented in multicultural dialogues, so its scientific understanding has obvious prospects. The research aims to determine the current trends of scientific developments in the development of choral art and study its socio-cultural phenomenon, as well as to clarify some practical aspects of the development of Ukrainian choral art as a leading direction of modern artistic culture.

Results. According to the results of the study, the directions of studying Ukrainian choral art as a sociocultural phenomenon by scientists are highlighted and some practical aspects of the study and development of its components are analyzed.
