Abstract: The article attempts to compare music terms with the categories of the architectural theory. The subject of the research comprises such key terms as tectonics and texture, pattern and setting which are conceptually defined. The position of these categories in the system of expressive means is concretized. The term “texture” peculiar for musical and architectural lexical means is specified. Certain levels of correlation between music and architectural categories are identified. As a result we admit the possibility to exceed the limits of traditional use of such terms as “musical form” and “tectonics”. This focus of research is considered to be prospective, leading to the opportunity to reveal and give proof of semantic parallels on the level of structural regularities in the works of architecture and music. Basing upon the comparative method of analysis, the author suggests a new point of view on the issue of interdisciplinary researches
