The analysis of a variety of text inclusions is made on the examples of the postlude genre that is seen to be rather flexible and accordant with the trends in the updates of the musical language of the second half of XX century. Methodology. The research methodology involves the method of intertextual interactions that will allow us to understand the logic and the principle of organization of the distinct musical discourse.
