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 refl exive-methodological level, this approach fi rst
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 fi erce debate about
the benefi ts and limitations of systemic thinking. A new stage in the approach development arises with the
fi rst attempts to formulate the system principle as the basis of the general scientifi c method in the works of
L. von Bertalanffy. In general, the development of mechanisms and instrumentally signifi cant 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 fl ows. 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 emotionallysensual
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, fi rst, 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.
