Key design techniques of authorial adaptations of people's songs for academic choirs are analyzed. On the authors' opinion, adaptation of a Russian folk song for academic choir opens brand new performing opportunities, let to substantially enrich list of productions of any amateur or professional vocal ensemble. Arrangement lets not only to actualize primary source but also to create original source-based musical composition using various expressive means.
