ENContemporary religious music based on texts and motifs from the Holy Bible composed between 1990 and 2005 are discussed. They are not meant for liturgy, but concerts. There are two groups of composers of religious music: some of them try to accept sacrum as a necessary component of religious music, while others are guided by their own rules. Therefore, the language of religious music is recognised not by the entire form of a composition, but by the purposeful usage of sacral elements as well as by the composer's conscious choice of them. The article deals with a direct link between the musical language used by the composer and the "language" of the Holy Bible. The influence of the composer's individuality on the content of the texts from the Bible is disclosed. The conclusion that the objectivity of a piece of religious music can be reflected only in subjectivism. Meanings, symbols, archetypes signs and their use to make music sacral are one of the most problematic subjects of the language of new religious music. In this respect, the cultural identity of choral and polyphonic part-songs, as well as differences between spiritual and sacral music are discussed. The author draws a conclusion that Lithuanian religious music based on the words and motifs of the Holy Bible cannot be seen without due respect to the written and oral tradition of the Bible. Musical language cannot be in discord with the centuries-old traditions of religious music or be suppressed by the subjectivity of the composer. The newest means of composition can be used with a great responsibility in order to bring out the sacral dimension of religious music. [text from author]
