[edit]
  • ... that choral concertos were a highly popular form of sacred music in Russia in the long eighteenth century, incorporating diverse elements like folk music, march music, popular song, and dance music?

Interesting, detailed article on good sources. I confess to be not thrilled by the hook. I would like to read about unaccompanied singing, Divine liturgy, possibly about the prolific Bortniansky with that attractive picture, try again? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:47, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
Hmmm, how about something about Bortniansky being the most prolific composer of choral concertos?
Alt1 ... that Dmitry Bortniansky was the most prolific composer of choral concertos, with 35 concertos for single choir and 10 concertos for double choir?
Alt2 ... that choral concertos were short compositions for unaccompanied voices highly popular in the long eighteenth century, intended to be sung at the point in the Divine Liturgy when the clergy were taking Holy Communion?
  • Combined?

Dmitry Bortniansky

Alt3 ... that Dmitry Bortniansky (pictured) was the most prolific composer of choral concertos, short compositions for unaccompanied voices to be sung in the Divine Liturgy? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:09, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
