Annotation: Contact cultural worlds are considered in the article as a systemic phenomenon, and it validates the submission of a system approach in the research. At the reflexive-methodological level, this approach first appears in the 19th Century on the wave of reaction to the mechanics of the natural sciences and the positivistic ideal of science created on this basis. The rigid-systemic views of the early L. White were next, the development of the structural-functional methodology of B. Malinovsky and A.R. Radcliffe Brown, a fierce debate about the benefits and limitations of systemic thinking. A new stage in the approach development arises with the first attempts to formulate the system principle as the basis of the general scientific method in the works of L. von Bertalanffy. In general, the development of mechanisms and instrumentally significant aspects of the system approach began only in the second half of the 20th Century. In particular, this is due to the formulation and allocation of the so-called “systemic effects.” With the contact of cultures, a lot of cognitive problems arise, related, both, to the stages of such contact and to its variations associated with the peculiarities of the situation. These features are determined by the nature of correlation of value systems of interacting cultures, and general tendencies of the Epoch. But in many respects, it is also the sphere of culture, in which this contact flows. From this point of view, the problem is considered in the sphere of music and singing culture of Russian Germans caught up in a foreign culture environment. Since it belongs to the emotionally- sensual and, hence, the value kernel of culture. Since of Germans had appeared in Russia, the system of musical and cultural interactions of the Orthodox with Catholics and then Lutherans, was being started to form. Germans, who migrated to Russia in the 18th Century, created favorable conditions for life and, first, freedom of religion. They formed mono-denominational settlements whose basis of life was religion and religious communities, which contributed to the preservation and isolation of musical and religious traditions. At the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, the spiritual chants still occupy an important place in musical culture of Russian Germans. The impact on society of a different culture is an important factor in socio-cultural changes taking place in the world. Intercultural interactions are an integral part of development of culture and contribute to changes taking place in it for many centuries.
Keywords: cultural contact, innocultural environment, musical and religious culture, spiritual hymns, collections of songs.
