Yuri FALIK (1936–2009) was the disciple of the acknowledged Stolyarsky music school in Odessa. Studying in the Leningrad conservatoire he acquired two specialities: cello (prof. A. Strimer) and composition (prof. B. Arapov). Post-graduate education (M. Rostropovich). Falik was a professor of composition and instrumentation perfoming as a conductor all over the Russian cities and abroad. Among his creations there are many opuses of diverse genres. Numerous chamber and choral compositions by Falik are perpetually. 

Performed all over the world by the European and American ensembles and choral groups. Such conductors as Ye. Svetlanov, G. Rozhdestvensky, M. Janssons, V. Gergiev, A. Dmitriyev, V. Yampolsky (USA), M. di Bonaventura (USA), S. Edwards (UK) included Falik’s symphony compositions to their repertoire. 

The first volume is devoted to Yuri Falik's choral concertos. The composer accepts this genre by the analogy with the instrumental concerto, initially based on the competition revealing virtuoso abilities of its participants. This controversy may involve the soloist and the choir, in playful timbres, tessituras and hues. This spirit of concerto makes for constant expositions (both in orchestral and choral cases), but not elaboration of the material, so much inherent in symphonic structure.

All the concertos entering this volume are composed to the verses by the poets of the Silver Age (beside the one to the verses by Pushkin). All of them are intended for the mixed choir a cappella.
