Abstract

In the context of Ukrainian historical realities, we can not talk about a sufficient number of sources of
information to resolve this issue.. The contemporary realities of the research, execution and popularization of Ukrainian Baroque music are considered, and specific segments of this topic are highlighted, which is the subject of curiosity of the Authentic performers in our time. The direct and relative sources of performance information, which give the vocalists or choirmasters an idea about the text of the piece work and the specifics of its execution – are analyzed. There are about 20 sources: ancient musical and linguistic treatises originating from the East Slavic territories, musical treatises of German and Italian authors mentioned in the archives of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
