Conclusions. Amateur women's vocal ensembles, having a high-performance culture, a genre-stylistic diversity of the repertoire, demonstrate the best examples of Transcarpathian composers, in whose creative output the song occupies a special place. The figures of composers whose work reflects the deep continuity of national traditions and local flavour were deliberately taken for analysis. The song works of D. Zador, M. Popenko, V. Popovych, and F. Turianyn were included in the golden fund of the song art of Transcarpathian region. The spiritual, patriotic, lyrical, humorous songs of the proposed composers continue the song-creative traditions of the region, genre-stylistic features of vocal-ensemble music. In author's songs, composers use the literary text that enriches the musical fabric of the song, in the processing of folk songs, composers vividly reflect the folk local flavour, using harmonic techniques that help to reveal the artistic content in a deeper way.
