Title: The Sacred Polyphonic Labyrinth: A Study of the Compositional Techniques in the Third Movement of Taneyev’s St. John of Damascus

Abstract: The choral work St. John of Damascus by Russian composer Sergei Ivanovich Taneyev (1856–1915) stands as the culmination of his musical creativity, masterfully integrating polyphonic techniques with elements of Russian national music, and exhibiting a grand and solemn artistic style. This paper takes the work as its primary subject of study and, through an analysis of its musical structure, polyphonic techniques, compositional thinking, and stylistic features, explores the artistic value and scholarly significance of Taneyev’s musical oeuvre.
