Abstract: An assignment of spiritual verse as independent research object makes currently challenging the necessity of the formation of methodological system for its study. It is important to determine the background of spiritual verse crossing in the Old believers’ sphere and represent the development of out-liturgical spiritual singing during 17–21 centuries. To reach these goals, we will consider the spiritual verse in the context of historical and sociocultural dynamics of Old Belief by using the materials of different regional collections including monuments of oral and written origins. A comprehensive approach to materials under study determines a selection of methods: 1) methods of collecting the information (recording and attribution of the texts, work with collections), 2) methods of information processing and analyzing (identification of the monuments of Old believers` origin; mapping the material enabling the detecting distinctive features of repertoire`s development and field of distribution of plots and musical and poetic characteristics with regard to the Old Belief’s migration patterns). The study has evaluated contribution of Old believers in conservation and development of the genre system of spiritual verse and furthered the understanding of spiritual verse as a means of expression of the Old believers’ worldview.
Keywords: spiritual verse, Old Believers, methodology of study, comprehensive approach.
