The article covers the creative way of the talented composer Nikolai Leontovich, who was born in Podillia. The musical works of the master, namely choral miniatures created on the basis of Ukrainian folk songs, are analyzed. Deeply peculiar approach of N. Leontovich to the folklore material is revealed. It turns out that he did not take creative grain and conceptual idea from a single song, but from a whole genre of folklore. He had the inherent gift to feel the most characteristic, barely noticeable intricacies of folk songs, the beauty of his melodies, truthfulness in the wisdom of the poetic word. The folk song for the composer is a part of human life, with its moods, feelings, grief and joy. The most valuable finds are the majority of his treatments, for example: "Oh, the gray cuckoo", "Oh, it's time to stop", "Pryala", "Bitch", "Duck Dive", "Dudaryk", "Shchedryk". The emphasis is on aesthetics and innovative principles of creativity of a bright Ukrainian. Leontovich was an extremely inquisitive artist. He constantly sought new principles for the improvement of his composer's technique, ways of enriching the expressive means of musical language of the folk song. Innovation, uniqueness and originality of his style are based on the skillful combination of folk singing of a regional character with a classical polyphony of church singing. Leontovich's new facets of choral style are highlighted in the following principal features: the trend towards linearity in the texture; coupling-variational structure; figurative semantic dual plan, symphonization of works. A significant contribution of Nikolai Dmitrievich Leontovich to the development of Ukrainian national music was described.
