In the mid 1660-ies Tsar became interested in the possibility of the introduction of polyphonic singing in Russian church. In 1666 Chernihiv choir moved to Moscow where it worked for almost a year.
Pekalytsky had gained a possibility to demonstrate his music and conducting mastery. In 80-ies he returned to Ukraine and settled in Novhorod-Siverskyi.
A Liturgy in 8 voices of Symeon Pekalytsky is referred to in the registry of scores of the year 1687 of Lviv Bratska school.
