A '''choral concerto''' is a type of sacred music. It is written for voices without any instruments. This is because the [[Orthodox Church]] does not allow musical instruments in their church.<ref>{{cite web |title=Musical Instruments |url=https://www.oca.org/questions/parishlife/musical-instruments |website=Orthodox Church in America |accessdate=8 March 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Drillock |first1=David |title=Orthodox Church |year=2013 |url=https://doi.org/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.A2253705 |publisher=Oxford Music ONline |doi=10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.A2253705 |accessdate=9 March 2022}}</ref> It became popular in the [[Russian Empire]] in the middle of the seventeenth century.
