THE CLASH OF ARCADIA AND ELYSIUM AS T HE BASIS OF THE DRAMA CONFLICT IN THE BALLET “SYLPHIDE”

Abstract. The article is devoted to the analysis of the drama “Sylphide” by F. Taglioni – one of the emblematic ballets of romanticism. The story conflict “Sylphide” is considered by the author as an opposition to the mythologist Arcadia and Elysium, expressing a conflict clash in the soul of the main hero of the values “paradise of the earth” and “paradise of the heavenly”. These mythologies in ballet are contrasted in stylistic and genre terms. In the artistic embodiment of the “patriarcha” Arcadia, the fundamental genre basis is the traditional pastorale, while Elysium‘s mythologema, which represents a refined poetic dream, carries clear features of romantic poetics.

Keywords: pastoral; ballet dramatic art; J.-M. Schneitzhoffe; F. Taglioni; “Sylphide”; romanticism.

IN A CENTURY: FROM THE AUTHOR, “FIRSTHAND”... (VOCAL CYCLE “FIVE POEMS OF A. AKHMATOVA” BY S. PROKOFIEV AND M. BASOK)

Abstract. The article examines two vocal cycles with the same title “Five Poems by Anna Akhmatova”, representing the poems of the outstanding poetess of the Silver Age (1889–1966). The first of the cycles (1916) was created by the Russian classic Sergei Prokofiev (1891–1953). The second cycle was composed almost a century later (2011) by the contemporary composer and musicologist Maxim Basok (born 1951). According to his plan, the cycles which were written with poems from the same pre-revolutionary collections “The evening” and “Beads”, should sound in the concert strictly one after the other in the order of their creation. This will allow listeners to compare and evaluate their musical reading by composers of two different centuries directly in the process of performance. The idea of comparing the features of the dramaturgy of the musical language of these works is central to the article. The author substantiates the moments of the logic of the selection of poetic texts by composers, identical and opposite approaches to the interpretation of cross-cutting plots, the use of similar means of harmony, polyphony, musical texture, and shaping. In the modern cycle, there are mode-harmonic features, intonation roll-overs, the principles of texture variation, elements of leitharmony, the introduction of additional melodic lines by analogy with Prokofi ev’s work. This is especially true in the context of today’s postmodern art, when a contemporary author uses, among others, stylization techniques developed by the creators of past eras. An important section of the article is a historical review of references to Akhmatova’s poems by Russian composers in different historical periods of the USSR-Russia in connection with the social processes that took place.

Keywords: vocal cycles; Silver Age; A. Akhmatova; S. Prokofiev; M. Basok; musical dramaturgy; stylization.

The subject of detailed study is her two early dialogues – “Sic ergo anima” and “Ah Domine Iesu” (1640) – and the most late – “Gloria in excelsis Deo” (1684), representing the genre at different stages of its development. The analysis of works from the point of view of subject matter, interpretation of character parts, the relation­ship between the external dialogical structure and the internal plot, musical style, etc., made it possible to see a certain dynamics in the approach to the genre.

Keywords: XVII century; Italy; Isabella Leonarda; women composers; convent music; Latin dialogue.

LATE ROMANTIC SCHOENBERG: THE DOWNFALL OF AN ERA OR THE BIRTH OF A NEW ONE?

Abstract. The article is devoted to one of the early works of A. Schoenberg-the symphonic poem “Pelleas and Melisande”. Despite the high degree of study of Schoenberg’s work as a whole, this work rarely be­comes the object of attention of researchers and is mentioned only as “continuing the trend”. However, the composer himself noted the importance of this composition in his creative evolution. The artistic and musical identity of the symphonic poem is due to its duality: on the one hand, the musical language of the composition corresponds to the final stage of late Romanticism, on the other hand, it outlines the transition of Arnold Schoenberg to a new compositional technique. The article emphasizes that bringing the musical and expressive means of romanticism to the limit, demonstrating their exhaustion, at the same time turns into the opening prospects of a new musical language of the ХХ century.

Keywords: A. Schoenberg; late Romanticism; “Pelleas and Melisande”.

SOUNDING STATUES: HIDDEN DIALOGUE BETWEEN AVERINTSEV AND BIBIKHIN ABOUT THE NATURE OF MUSIC

Abstract. Working on a commentary on Dante Alighieri’s Vita Nova inspired S. Averintsev to write a poetic impromptu, reconstructing the connection between the orders of contemplation and the orders of perception of sounds. As he proved in the commentary, although music in the medieval representation was subject to the harmony of numbers, the very meaning of the number changed in the plot of New Life as a guide to mystical contemplation. Accordingly, the idea of singing also changed, which turned out to be a form of high contemplation. Averintsev’s polemic with the image of Dante-the-singer in Blok’s Ravenna is reconstructed, it is shown that this image, which had a conceptualizing for history meaning in Blok, receives in the subsequent poetic tradition the meaning of a contemplator of higher principles. V. Bibikhin entered into a dialogue with Averintsev in his translation of Remedies for Fortunes by Petrarch, where a number of licences are explained by the fact that Bibikhin saw in Petrarch’s reasoning metaphysical operations similar to the in Vita Nova. Therefore, Bibikhin emphasized those effects of the sublime, which are associated with plastic, not function of musical instruments. This dialogue proved to be productive for understanding the place of music in medieval intellectual culture.

Keywords: philosophy of music; metaphysics of music; medieval culture; Dante; Petrarch; Alexander Blok; Sergey Averintsev; Vladimir Bibikhin.

PROVINCE, PROVINCIALITY AND PROVINCIALISM IN THE ART OF MUSIC

Abstract. The article examines various semantic shades of the concepts of “province”, “provinciality” and “provincialism” in relation to the realities of the functioning of musical art. The desire to establish themselves in the capital, or at least in a large center, is relevant for composers and performers, since megacities have the infrastructure necessary for the functioning of musical art. The word “province”, being the antonym of “the capital”, also has a metaphorical meaning, which makes it possible to apply it to the realities of life in the capital. Isolationism, a lack of professional communication leads to secondary – the main sign of provincialism. Provincialism manifests itself in the subordination of the hierarchy of cultural values imposed from the outside.

Keywords: musical art; province; provincialism; provincialism..

INNOVATION IN PROFESSIONAL MUSIC EDUCATION OF THE UNIVERSITY: THEORY AND PRACTICE

Abstract. In Russia, a unique system of continuous music education has developed with a complex of subjects in the musical-theoretical cycle. They have historically entered the teaching practice of schools, colleges and universities. However, music education is currently going through a complex process of re­construction. The article examines it through the prism of innovations – changing curricula, directions and model of a specialist, approaches. Based on tradition, innovative pedagogical technologies are being developed. The author clarifies their meaning and principles – reliance on a conceptual scientific base, adapted to the practice of teaching; efficiency; reproducibility, etc. Technologies that involve a combination of verbal and non-verbal approaches are considered. They meet the modern requirement of forming an integral personality of a young specialist with a developed scientific and artistic thinking. The original concepts, born at the junction with folkloristics and synonyms, are focused on the systemic spiritual and aesthetic education of the personality of a music student at a university. Practical scientists include in the development of various components of sensory-emotional experience and the a priori property of the integration of sensory modalities by a person. The author reveals innovative approaches that generalize the concepts of musical content, text, poetics and semantics. Some forecasts of the use of innovative technologies in a music university are given.

Keywords: Traditions; innovative pedagogical technologies; music education; university.

HEINRICH NEUHAUS IN SVERDLOVSK. CHRONICLE OF WAR YEARS

Abstract. The article examines the longest period of Heinrich Neuhaus’s stay in Sverdlovsk, which lasted over two years – from August 1942 to September 1944. The main purpose of the work was to fill a num­ber of gaps in the musician’s biography, which in particular relate to aspects of his performing activity. Comparison of information from various sources made it possible to form a chronological list of Heinrich Neuhaus’s concert performances at the Philharmonic and the Conservatory. The dates of the pianist’s touring trips from Sverdlovsk to other regions of the country were also clarified. The letters of A. G. Ga­brichevsky – a friend of Neuhaus and a witness to many of his Sverdlovsk concerts, served as valuable material for compiling a chronology. In addition, the dates of the musician’s move to the conservatory room and to the house on Pushkinskaya Street, as well as the addresses of all his places of residence, have been established. The work contains a note by Heinrich Neuhaus about Emil Gilels, written in the wake of the pianist’s performances in Sverdlovsk, which was published in the newspaper “Uralsky Rabochy”.

Keywords: Heinrich Neuhaus; Sverdlovsk; evacuation; World War II; Urals Mussorgsky State Conser­vatoire; Sverdlovsk Philharmonic; concert performances; Emil Gilels; Alexander Gabrichevsky; Uralsky Rabochy newspaper.

MUSICAL CULTURE OF AN INDUSTRIAL CITY (ON THE EXAMPLE OF MAGNITOGORSK)

Abstract. The article examines the factology of the musical life of Magnitogorsk, which is an example of the type of settlement widespread in the Urals and a universal form of the existence of the culture of an industrial region. The author reveals the typical and specific features of the urban musical culture. The article shows that industrial cities are characterized by the absence of historically established cultural traditions and the forced nature of their formation, the simultaneous construction of the city and the formation of musical culture, the coexistence and mutual influence of the traditions of amateur and pro­fessional musical culture. In conclusion, it is concluded that the preservation and enhancement of musi­cal traditions gives the industrial city the potential for development based on modern cultural strategies. .

Keywords: industrial city; Magnitogorsk; musical culture; musical traditions; choral chapel; conserva­tory; Opera and Ballet Theater.

THE ACADEMICIAN PARIN STREET. GENETICS AND THE HISTORICAL JUSTICE

Abstract. The memoirs of Alexej V. Parin are dedicated to the crossing of fates of the two outstanding geneticists, Nikolaj V. Timofeev-Resovskij and Vasilij V. Parin, within the context of the world science history and the national history through 30-es to the 50-es of the 20th century. The dramatic peripeties of their lives, being of great historical and cultural importance, served as a basis for a number of pieces of Russian art. The memoirs published here were inspired by a somewhat troublesome situation with the street naming in Ekaterinburg’s new district, Akademicheskij (Academic), as well as by involuntary posthumous ‘rivalry’ of the both scholars, who had appreciated and supported each other during their lifetime, whatever difficult those circumstances that fell to their lots could have been.

Keywords: Nikolaj V. Timofeev-Resovskij; Vasilij V. Parin; Max Delbrück; the Nobel prize; genetics; the scholars’ fates.

THE CHROMATIC LABYRINTH IN THE HARMONY OF L. VAN BEETHOVEN

Abstract. Using the example of the first movements of some sonatas by L. van Beethoven the article reveals tonal relationships that are quite unique in the context of the typified harmonic style of classicism, and establishes their connection with the historically formed phenomenon, defined as the “chromatic labyrinth”. The composer was not limited by the technological capabilities of this technique that he used. As a rule, he developed a special poetics of moving along the tonal corridor, conditioned by the ascending or – more often – descending direction of this movement.

Keywords: Ludwig van Beethoven; Harmony; Chromatic Labyrinth; Sonata; Tonal Plan.

REGIONAL TRADITION OF THE THUMRI VOCAL GENRE: VARANASI PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOL

Abstract. The article deals with the vocal genre of “semi-classical” music thumri, which became widespread during the last century. During the 1920 and 1970, the style bol-banao thumri of singing emerged in the cultural arena of Varanasi, the new center of the eastern state of Uttar Pradesh, where the singer conveys all the textual nuances through a melodized interpretation of individual words. He became known as purab-ang thumri (“eastern style of singing”). Special attention is paid to one of the most important performing schools of thumri – Varanasi, whose musicians raised thumri to classical heights. Its characteristic features: the use of the bol-banao technique; a gradual slowing down of the overall tempo of the performance; the use of “light” ragas and talas associated with traditional music; the presence of a specific final section of laggi. By the middle of the 20th century, this style of singing reached its apogee in the works of prominent masters of Varanasi, pushing bol-banao thumri to the forefront of the cultural Renaissance. Their names are included in the treasury of the national and cultural heritage of India.

Keywords: semi-classic; thumri; Varanasi; kotha; mehfil; tawaif.

MUSIC IN THE SOUND SPACE OF MODERN EKATERINBURG: TO THE PROBLEM OF ANALYZING THE URBAN AUDIO ENVIRONMENT

Abstract. The article is devoted to the sound environment of modern Ekaterinburg. The main subject of the analysis in the article is the musical component as a “highly organized” part of the multi-layered structure of the urban sound space. In its development, the author identifies two aspects: the first is associated with the expansion of boundaries and the transformation of the audio environment, and the second focuses on the problem of disharmony and noise pollution. In connection with the first aspect, the author traces some practices of concert life in Ekaterinburg – the development of open urban locations, the escalation of “virtual” forms of music existence. These practices, on the one hand, contribute to the broadness, mass character of musical events, and on the other hand, reveal a number of opposite qualities of the audio environment – its fragmentation, pointillism. These qualities cause the gap between the subjects of the concert situation (the performer and the listener), which is called schizophonia in musicology. The second aspect in the analysis of the urban sound space actualizes the “ecological” problem of disharmonizing the sound environment of Ekaterinburg due to noise pollution. Among the sources of negative impact on the sound environment, the author identifies some musical forms of sound content, in particular, audio advertising and sound design of premises. Along with architectural innovations, audio marketing products are an integral feature of the appearance of a modern city.

Keywords: sound environment of the city; culture of everyday life; musical life of Yekaterinburg.

HARMONY AND SYNTAX IN RUSSIAN SCIENTIFIC AND METHODOLOGICAL WORKS OF THE XX CENTURY (TO BE INTRODUCED INTO EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE)

Abstract. The article is written with the aim of providing methodological assistance to teachers in achiev­ing an in-depth understanding of the syntactic organization of the musical form, in this case – through the harmony course. The main subject of the article is the harmonic progressions in their structur­al-forming functions: initial, developmental, cadence, which helps to understand the construction of small forms and facilitates their auditory harmonic perception. Valuable scientific and methodological ideas on this subject are available already in the publications of the twentieth century, but they have not become the property of educational practice. The typical harmonic schemes-models are determined based on material of the music of the Viennese classics: tonal functions are taken as a basis, not specific types of chords. The understanding of the logic of the classical period is facilitated by drawing parallels with the verse form of the quatrain. As a result, the path is paved to the realization of the integrity of the syntactic structure of the period, including through harmony. Hence, the feeling of phrasing, that covers the entire texture and gives the music a lively breath.

Keywords: harmonic progression; syntactic organization of period; Viennese classicism in harmony courses.

Abstract. The article is devoted to the problems of vocal phonetics of foreign languages, which are not considered in the Russian tradition of vocal art. Several decades ago, there was no such question: all operas and chamber works were performed in Russian. But today this is a big problem for the educational program of Russian conservatories. The article examines the main stages and difficulties in learning a work in a foreign language, analyzes the study of the topic of vocal phonetics by foreign and domestic authors, and provides methodical recommendations.

Keywords: vocal phonetics; vocal diction; IPA; foreign languages.

ACADEMIC HERITAGE OF SARATOV CONSERVATORY: E. D. ERSHOVA (1942–2001)

Abstract. The article addresses the academic heritage of L. V. Sobinov Saratov state conservatory where the name of Ershova Elena Dmitrievna – a prominent music historian and a vivid personality in the modern history of the conservatory – stands out. E. D. Ershova’s teaching, scientific, educational and executive endeavor is revealed within the framework of the German contacts of Saratov conservatory, A. G. Schnittke’s oeuvre among them. Transcendent significance of E. D. Ershova’s archive, scientific and creative projects is commemorated as having launched many modern events and conservatory structures. Among them there is “Scientific readings in memory of B. L. Yavorsky” whose name is as­sociated with the meaningful cooperation of Saratov and Moscow conservatoires during World War II. The project of science, information, culture and education “Das Schnittke-Zentrum” is cast in the same mould: created while the composer was living and having been approved by him, it became a powerful “mediator” of cultural contacts between Russia and Germany in the end of the 20th – the beginning of the 21st centuries. Such are the publishing projects, reviving the endeavors of eminent musicians of the first decades of the conservatory, as well as the modern update of the educational courses of music work analysis and harmony.

REGIONAL MUSICOLOGY AND MUSICOLOGY OF REGIONS: Review of the All-Russian Conference with International Participation “Music Science, Art and E ducation of R ussian Regions: Towards the 300th Anniversary of the City of Yekaterinburg”

Abstract. The review of the conference, held at the Urals Mussorgsky State Conservatoire in November 2020, focuses on a number of important points. The review represents the history of the conference orga­nization, specifics of its holding in 2020 via the Zoom platform, geographical and scientific status of the participants, as well as the rationale for holding the conference in Yekaterinburg. The aim of the confer­ence is to examine how closely the Russian regions interact, how their regional identity is preserved, and how it relates to the Russian identity. The importance of the conference for the exchange of experience in the fields of musicological research, creative and musical-educational activities of various regions of Russia, including the capital, is emphasized. The author defines the region as a “special ̒world’ with its own mentality, way of thinking, traditions, world view and world perception” (according to F. Bordel) and from these viewpoints considers the concept of “regional musicology” as a multidimensional study of the history of the musical culture of the region. As an antithesis, the concept of “regional musicolo­gy”, which is characterized by the commonality of interregional scientific interests forming the Russian music science as a whole, is introduced. The program of the conference, the thematic areas of work of its five sections, and the content of the reports are analyzed from the indicated viewpoints. The scientific problem of the conference “Regional Musical Culture / Musical Culture of the Regions” is formulated on the largest scale, the duality of the problem is determined by its main discourses. The conclusion is made both on the preservation of the regional identity and on the high degree of integration of the musical culture of the region into the modern all-Russian humanitarian practice.

AT THE ORIGINS OF RUSSIAN MUSICOLOGY: A. N. SEROV (on the 200th anniversary of his birth)

Abstract. The purpose of the article is to study A. N. Serov’s contribution into Russian musicology through solving the following tasks: identification of the specifics of his musicological analysis and methodol­ogy; the significance of Serov’s most important works (on Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and “Leonore Overture,” Glinka’s opera “A Life for the Tsar,” etc.); the influence of Serov’s methodology on Russian musicology of the 20th century (B. V. Asafyev’s theories of intonation, symphonism, and musical form as a process, the theory of musical dramaturgy by V. P. Bobrovsky and V. V. Medushevsky). The article explores Serov’s conceptions of the structure of musicology, which includes musical aesthetics (philos­ophy of music), history of music, and a whole range of theoretical disciplines (harmony, counterpoint, the theory of form, instrumentation, etc.). The conclusion is drawn that Serov strove to achieve a syn­thetic, generalizing view, both within the framework of musical science as a whole (it is confirmed by the above-mentioned structure of musicology) and within the framework of theoretical disciplines (musical science in a narrow sense). Serov achieves his goal by applying the thematic analysis, which is in fact the analysis of the musical dramaturgy of an instrumental piece or an opera.

Keywords: musicology; A. N. Serov; music history; aesthetics; music theory; music themes.

THE PROBLEM OF “WORD AND MUSIC” IN CONTEMPORARY MUSICAL ART AND MUSICOLOGY (on the 25th anniversary of the death of A .V. Mikhailov)

Abstract. The article is devoted to new aspects of the study of the traditional for musicology problem of “word and music”, which, on the one hand, were initiated by the very work of contemporary compos­ers, on the other hand, – a surge of interest in this topic due, in many respects, to the scientific activities of A. V. Mikhailov and his comprehensive approach to studying this issue. The joint conference of philol­ogists and musicologists, organized by Mikhailov in 1993, where the scientist made a report: “Word and music: music as an event in the history of the word”, became a new stage in the development of this very topical issue. One of its directions is new types of interaction between verbal and musical principles. Based on the analysis of the most modern musicological literature, the author of the article substantiates the prospects for the development of this scientific topic and the need for theoretical generalizations.

Keywords: word and music; Alexander Viktorovich Mikhailov; new types of interaction between verbal and musical principles.

TROMBONE IN THE WORKS OF N.A. RIMSKY-KORSAKOV: TO THE QUESTION OF EXPANDING THE TECHNICAL AND EXPRESSIVE CAPABILITIES OF TROMBONE IN THE 19TH CENTURY

Abstract. The article explores the issue of expanding the technical and expressive capabilities of the trom­bone in the musical heritage of N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov. The Concert for trombone and military orchestra, which has become a recognized classic of the trombonist repertoire, falls into the author’s attention. The trombone part in the middle and final parts of the Concert demonstrates semantic-intonations. It was new to the romantic era. The expressive features of the trombone in the Rimsky-Korsakov Orches­tra are considered on the example of program symphonic compositions – the overture “Bright Holiday” and the symphonic suite “Sheherazada”, in which the timbre of the trombone turns out to be an important link in musical drama. Based on the results of the study of trombone as a solo and orchestral instrument in Rimsky-Korsakov’s music, corresponding conclusions were made in which new virtuoso and artistic qualities of the instrument were emphasized. The discoveries of Rimsky-Korsakov turned out to be sig­nificant for the further development of trombone in domestic and foreign music of the twentieth century.

Keywords: Russian music; N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov; “Scheherazade”; “Bright Holiday”; history of orches­tration; trombone; performance on wind instruments.

SYMPHONY COMPOSITIONS BY LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN IN THE COLLECTIONS OF THE MOSCOW BRANCH OF THE IMPERIAL RUSSIAN MUSICAL SOCIETY

Abstract. The article considers the performance of symphonic compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven in the collections of the Moscow branch of the Imperial Russian Musical Society (MB IRMS). The main source of information is the statistical data book by N. A. Manykin-Nevstruev “The Imperial Russian Musical Society. Moscow Branch: Symphony Collections 1–500” (from 1860 to 1899). The aim of the article is to identify the regularities of the performing practice of the composer’s symphonic works in MB IRMS. The author relies on the statistical research method and understanding of the results ob­tained via projection on the history of Russian musical culture of the 2nd half of the XIX century. The article analyzes the statistics of performance of Beethoven’s works on concert seasons from 1860 to 1899. The names of all the conductors who directed Beethoven’s compositions performances at MB IRMS con­certs are presented. The statistics by genre (symphonies, instrumental concertos, and overtures) is given, and the graph showing variation of amount of the performances of individual Beethoven compositions in order to identify their popularity is displayed. Regularities associated with uneven performance of Beethoven’s works, which depended on preferences of soloists and conductors (local and invited), reper­toire policy of MB IRMS, factor of change of permanent conductor and acoustic capabilities of concert halls were identified. Thus, the choice of certain symphonic works by Beethoven was not accidental and, moreover, it correlated with the purpose of the Charter of the Imperial Russian Musical Society.

Keywords: Moscow Branch of the Imperial Russian Musical Society (MB IRMS); Symphony collections of MB IRMS; Ludwig van Beethoven; symphonic works of Beethoven; Beethoven’s music in MB IRMS; Beethoven’s music in Russia.

TONAL-INTONATION PLOT IN TCHAIKOVSKY’S GRAND PIANO SONATA OP. 37 G-DUR

Abstract. In article tonal-intonation plot lines in the Grand Sonata op. 37 G-dur by P. I. Tchaikovsky’s are considered. Authors are based on I. A. Barsova, V. V. Medushevsky, Yu. N. Kholopov’s works in applica­tion of the concepts “intonation plot”, “tonal-intonation sphere”. The tonal-intonation plot is treated as two-unity of tonal and intonation-thematic development in the work. Plot lines of development of motive Dies irae in the first part and also the main subject of the second part are in detail tracked. From positions of a fable the unusual termination of an exposition of a sonatа form of the first part in the main tonality is treated (and its strengthening by its own subdominant, C-dur). The main “power lines” of tonal and intonation development are connected with interaction of couples of tonalities of G-dur/g-moll; G-dur/e-moll; e-moll/Es-dur. “Concentrate” of intensive fable development is focused in the first two parts; in the general interpretation of a cycle classical and romantic lines intertwine; the last are implemented, in particular, in a plot-type monothematicizm created by romantics.

Keywords: Grand Sonata in G Major by P.I. Tchaikovsky; intonation plot; tonal-intonation sphere; motive of Dies irae; confrontation of tonalities; plot lines of tonal and thematic development.

CARMEN’S IDEA: FROM PUSHKIN TO BIZET

Abstract. Opera by J. Bizet “Carmen” is one of the most beloved works in musical theater, which arouses enduring interest among both performers and musicologists. One of the important directions in the study of opera is the study of its cultural and historical context. To analyze the image of the main hero­ine of the opera, taking into account this context, to outline the most important literary connections of the opera – the goal of this article. The article examines some of the features of the image of Carmen, and also traces its formation in the literary works of Prosper Mérimée and Alexander Pushkin, whose work the French writer was sincerely passionate about. One of the most important qualities of the ana­lyzed image is freedom in personal relationships, which the heroine defends at the cost of her life, deny­ing any compromises. The realization of this freedom in the works of Pushkin, Mérimée and Bizet occurs in different ways, which is reflected in the appearance of the main artistic idea. An analysis of the paral­lels that arise between the texts of Bizet, Mérimée and Pushkin contributes to a deeper understanding of the artistic solution of the image of Carmen presented in the opera, and also reveals some features of the cultural dialogue between France and Russia, which turns out to be bilateral.

Key words: “Carmen” by Bizet; “Carmen” by Mérimée; “Gypsies” and “The Stone Guest” by Alexander Pushkin.

THE UNION OF COMPOSERS OF KARELIA AND ITS CHAIRMAN HELMER SINISALO (on the 100th anniversary of the birth of the composer)

Abstract. The article covers the work of Helmer-Rayner Nestorovich Sinisalo (1920–1989) as the chair­man of the Union of Composers of Karelia (Karelian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic). The article examines Sinisalo’s “involvement” in the issues of the state cultural policy of the USSR, the style of the leadership of the Union. The author of the article reveals specific composer’s techniques noted by Sinisalo in publications, speeches, reports, which to a different extent are “associated” with the implementation of the ethnic origin in music. They deal both with the use of the means of the musical language and the primary material – borrowed melodic sources. The question is raised about the number of the mem­bers of the Union of Composers of Karelia during the years of Sinisalo’s leadership. The article was written to the centenary of the birth of сomposer.

Keywords: Helmer-Rayner Nestorovich Sinisalo; the Union of Composers of the KASSR; cultural policy of the USSR; ethnic origin.

MUSICAL EDUCATION OF TOGLIATTI: RETROSPECTIVE AND PERSPECTIVE (dedicated to the 65th anniversary of art education of Stavropol-on-Volga–Togliatti)

Abstract. The fate of the city of Togliatti, the former Stavropol-on-Volga, “thrice born” since its Foundation in 1737, has had an incredible impact on the municipal musical education, the history of which has not yet been written. The problematic series of numerous unexplored aspects begins with the question of the time of the origin of music education. What event is at its origins: the founding of a music school in the village of Komsomolsk in 1955 (the official version), or open the music section and music schools under the Committee of political education County Department of education in 1920, or the creation of the serf orchestra in the village of Nikolskoye Stavropolskogo County in the estate of Brigadier N. And. In. in the mid – XVIIIth century? During the second half of the twentieth century, the system of educational organizations in the “Culture and art” industry of Stavropol-on-Volga–Togliatti was repeatedly rebuilt, experienced periods of decline and recovery. At the epicenter of dynamic and dramatic events that took place in the late twentieth and first decades of the twenty – first century, the Togliatti municipal Conser­vatory is a kind of center of permanently emerging inter – sectoral, inter-Agency musical co-creation.

M. PUZEY AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OLDER GENERATION OF URAL COMPOSERS

Abstract. The memoir essay is dedicated to the description of the life and creative activity of the famous Ural and Russian composer N. M. Puzei (1915–2000). For three decades, the author of the article met with him, first as a student, and then as a colleague in teaching at the Ural Conservatory named after M. P. Mussorgsky (UGC) and a member of the Ural organization of the Union of Composers (UOUC). Through the description of the era that included the periods from the “thaw” of the fifties of the last cen­tury through the restructuring of the eighties to the controversial nineties, all types of Puzei’s activities are considered: as an actively writing composer, head of the department of composition of the UGC, Chairman of the Board of UOUC. The author defines the features of the composer’s creative style, based on the refraction of folklore sources, mainly the Ural song, which is reflected in a number of musical genres –sonatas, variations, and the Fourth Symphony. Other types of Puzei’s creative activity are con­sidered – pedagogical, as well as related to the writing of musicological articles. Attention is paid to the latest creative works of Puzei – the opera “Atlantis” based on the fantastic story by A. Belyaev, fragments of which were performed during the author’s lifetime, as well as the symphonic poem “City”, representing a modern appeal to urban themes.

Keywords: Nikolai Michailovich Puzei the Composer; Urals Mussorgsky State Conservatoire (UMSC); The Khrushchev Thaw; musical folklore; the Union of Ural Composers (UOUC).

THE SEMANTICS OF REPETITION AND RETURNS IN S. PROKOFIEV’S CREATION

Abstract. The article considers one of the important features of Prokofiev’s creative method: his tendency to multiply variants of the same texts. The results of auctorial repetitions and returns can be noted in three unequal areas. This is the creation of paraphrases on the basis of his own theatrical and fi lm music, the emergence of new editions of performed and often even published works, as well as self-quotation. The search for the causes and consequences of such work on the material leads to the determination of the main creative strategies of the composer aimed at conquering maximum of cultural space with his music. From this point of view, the history of the creation of the historical epic “War and Peace” appears as a stage that marked a key turn in the Prokofiev’s attitude to his legacy. It is possible that such a change is due not only to the difficulties of the composer’s existence, but also to the semantic constants that distinguish the content of Leo Tolstoy’s novel.

Keywords: Prokofiev; self-quotation; suites; strategies; attack; defense; “War and Peace”.

MUSIC BY S. PROKOFIEV FOR DIRECTED BY V. MEYERHOLD PUSHKIN’S DRAMA “BORIS GODUNOV”

Abstract. The article is dedicated to the problem of Vsevolod E. Meyerkhold’s creative collaboration with Sergey S. Prokofiev at the example of their joint work at Alexander Pushkin’s drama Boris Godunov. Basing himself on the data concerning the history of the performance and of its music, the author investigates some specific traits of selected musical fragments, including those of leitmotif importance, as the means of expression of the authors’ main ideas. We also analyze some conceptual aspects of the drama interpretation in course of the dialogue between the two Masters. We come to the conclusion that the “politically topical” production by Meyerkhold and Prokofiev touched upon the prohibited “territory of meanings” within the ideologically saturated Soviet culture of the second half of the thirties of the 20th century, this being the cause of the performance having been forbidden.

Keywords: the Pushkin’s anniversary in the 1930-es; Boris Godunov; Vsevolod E. Meyerkhold; Sergey S. Prokofiev; the music in the performance.

Abstract. This article is the first study of the question of Sergey Prokofiev’s music performance in the Southern Ural region for the period between 1935 and 2016. Depending on the considered period, chronological or genre approach is used. The author focuses on the evolution of interest in the composer’s music: gradual expansion of the list of names of the compositions performed, and in the post-war period – of the whole genre areas: theatrical, symphonic, choral and chamber music of Sergey Prokofiev. The author pays more attention to cyclical events dedicated to Prokofiev: festivals and contests (performers and composers). The main facts of the composer’s theatrical works staging are named. The author presents a panorama of the names of performers and art groups: artists touring in Chelyabinsk and Ural musicians. A set of facts that make it possible to call Chelyabinsk “a city of Prokofiev” is given. The article can be of interest to specialists dealing with regional musical culture and history of Russian music of the twentieth century, particularly – the creative personality of Sergey Prokofiev.

Keywords: music of Sergey Prokofiev; author’s concert; performance; festival; “Prokofiev’s readings”.

APPLICATION OF COMPUTER TOOLS TO ANALYSE S. PROKOFIEV’S MUSIC

Abstract. The article considers the methods of such exact sciences as mathematics and acoustics, and the possibility of their use in the field of music. These methods are characterized by a high degree of data generalization, which they have within the framework of the system under study. They make it possible to get information about the ordering and structure of the system under study. When we speak about the system under study within the musical sphere, the case in question is either a whole musical work or its separate parts, or a single musical subsystem. This article examines the frequency pitch distribution of musical systems and subsystems. The piano works “Music for Children”, Op. 65 by S. Prokofiev are used as the example and they allow to show how mathematical data and graphic visual material can be added to the traditional musicological analysis, which make it possible to see the orderliness and structure of the musical composition more clearly. The frequency distribution interpretation in the system of tonality formation allows us to consider issues related to the nature and form of the musical work.

Keywords: computer sound analysis; statistical analysis of musical sounds; mathematical analysis of music.

PROKOFIEV AND THE RUSSIAN AVANT-GARDE OF THE 1910S. CHALDEAN SPELL “SEVEN, THEY ARE SEVEN”

Abstract. This article focuses on Prokofiev’s interaction with the Russian avant-garde of the 1910s as a form of a style-forming context of creative formation. The first section of the article is based on the reviews of the Russian press about the early works of Prokofiev, collected by the composer himself, stored in his foundation in the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art and partially published in previous collections of materials. Together they create a documented picture of contemporary perceptions of Prokofiev’s early work in the context of the Russian avant-garde of the 1910s, in constant comparison with the most “left-wing” painting and poetry, mainly with the innovative searches of the futurists. The second section analyzes one of Prokof­iev’s most “avant-garde” and almost unexplored works – the Chaldean spell “Seven, They Are Seven” – in the given semantic context, in the aspect of transubstantiation specific language innovations of futuristic art. The author’s method of analyzing the style features of futurism in music-specific forms is proposed: in the logic of form formation, pitch, texture, rhythm; in the interpretation of the genre (spells-enchantments), fig­urativeness (space-time-movement), etc. Innovative sound techniques that anticipate the gains of the future European musical avant-garde of the 1950–1970s are revealed.

Key words: Prokofiev’s early works; Russian avant-garde; futurism; Chaldean spell “Seven; They Are Seven”; “quantized” time; multidimensional space (“multitone heterophony”); “canon of shifted construction”; “prin­ciple of simultanism”.

SERGEY PROKOFIEV’S BALLETT “THE JESTER TALE” WITHIN THE STYLISTIC CONTEXT OF THE AUTHOR’S EARLIER CREATION AND OF SERGEY DIAGHILEV’S RUSSIAN BALLETT

Abstract. The aim of our article is to make the case of The Jester Tale belonging stylistically to the artistic trend of neoprimitivism. We analyze stylistic traits of the ballett as well as the neoprimitivism as such, which orient­ed itself towards the folk splint, thus overcoming the borders of painting and – what we see in the Prokofiev’s Tale – becoming a unified stylistic synthesis of music, choreography and scenography.

Key words: Sergey Diaghilev; Sergey Prokofiev; Mikhail Larionov; Neoprimitivism; the Russian splint; the splint stylistics; estrangement; the Grotesque.

FOREIGN CRITICISM OF PROKOFIEV’S FIRST BALLET “THE CHOUT (THE JESTER WHO OUTWITTED SEVEN OTHERS)”, PERFORMED BY THE TROUPE OF THE BALLETS RUSSES OF SERGEI DIAGHILEV

Abstraсt. The article discusses the reaction of foreign criticism to the first stage production of Sergei Proko­fiev’s ballet “The Jester Who Outwitted Seven Others” (abbreviated as the “The Chout”) by the Ballets Russes of Sergei Diaghilev, presented in 1921 in Paris and London. The author’s translation and a narrow analytical review of the foreign press creates a picture of the perception of Prokofiev’s first ballet by the contemporary European musical and theater community. The author acquaints Russian readers with major foreign critics and theater politics, with the main directions in assessing the activities of Diaghilev’s entreprise, with the evolution of the choreography and classical dance in the Ballets Russes, with new approaches to scenography and the role of the artist in the production process (in this case, Mikhail Larionov wasn’t only a decorator, but also a choreographer, creator of the dance-style score of the ballet, staged by T. Slavinsky). A significant place in the reviews is given to the discussion and evaluation of Prokofiev’s music by West contemporary musicians. In conclusion of the review of the French and English press, based on the description of the play given in the reviews, the author of the article reconstructs the main features of the production of Prokofiev’s ballet in the Ballets Russes of Sergei Diaghilev.

Key words: Prokofiev’s ballet “The Chout”; Ballets Russes by Sergei Diaghilev; M. Larionov; premiere in Paris and London; scenography and choreography of a ballet; foreign critics on Prokofiev’s performance and music.

GROGIY – PROKOFIEV’S SECRETARY

Abstract. The article is dedicated to a man whose name as if arose from oblivion after the publication of Prokofiev’s Diaries.

The article is written on the basis of all currently available archival and published sources, it represents the extraordinary life of this outstanding person against the background of the tragic events of Russian and European history of the twentieth century, through which he carried love and loyalty to Prokofiev as a composer and as a person. At the end of the article there is an analysis of G. N. Gorchakov’s music according to the manuscript and notes of several of his works published abroad.

THE MOST “SOVIET” SOVIET MUSIC (OVERCOMING THE SOCIALIST CANON IN THE CANTATAS OF S. PROKOFIEV “PROSPER, OUR MIGHTY LAND!”, AND “ZDRAVITSA”)

Abstract. The named opuses are studied as representatives of the principle of intonational-semantic sabotage, which determines the specifics of many of Prokofiev’s works created in the totalitarian period. It is proved that these cantatas correspond in their properties to the characteristics of a simulacrum, the main features of which are mimicry, imaginary correspondence to a “high” prototype, hypertrophy of genre-stylistic features, semantic synergy, double coding.

Keywords: simulacrum; sabotage; mimicry; double coding; synergy; homo ludens.

W.‑H. WACKENRODER ABOUT THE ESSENCE OF MUSIC

Abstract. The appeal to romantic aesthetics is important in connection with the existence in space of a modern musical culture of neo-style. Wilhelm Heinrich Wackenroder (1773–1798) is one of the founders of German romanticism, which influenced the development of German art theory and the whole of European culture. The interest in his works is due to the fact that they relate to the problems of the essence of music and art in general, the spiritual world of the artist as a self-sufficient value.

Key words: musical aesthetics; romanticism; W.‑H. Wackenroder.

THE USE OF COMPUTER PROGRAMS IN THE ANALYSIS AND FORMATION OF A VOCAL RESONANCE STRATEGY

Abstract. The article is devoted to the possibility of using computer programs in teaching vocal art. The author uses modern computer programs with the ability to build graphs showing the overtone composition of the voice. Spectrograms of singers clearly show that singers use different resonance strategies. The author of the article introduces the new term “resonance strategy”. The basis of the study was the sound recordings of outstanding singing masters of the early twentieth century and to the present. Several possible resonance tuning options are found among singers. Resonance strategies of singing masters are standard for students of singing. With the help of spectral analysis, one can understand the objective reasons for the singers’ conflicting descriptions of their proprioceptive sensations in singing. Thus, an attempt was made to rationally explain the existing subjective singing sensations.

Key words: vocal performance; opera singing; spectrogram; resonance strategy; formant; harmonic.

ROLE OF PERFORMING PRACTICE IN THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF CONSERVATORY STUDENTS

Abstract. The article is devoted to the optimization of performing practice of students of a musical university. In its theoretical part, the concept of a concert is considered as a sociocultural phenomenon of an artistic and communicative nature, various types of concerts (mixed, thematic, concert talk) and conditions for the formation of concert programs are described.

THE MANY FACES ROMANTICISM

Abstract. The debate about the essence of romanticism has been lasting about two centuries. Some people interpret romanticism as an ideological and artistic direction that took shape in the specific historical conditions of the late 18th - first half of the 19th centuries, while others understand it as a timeless phenomenon that accompanies the spiritual life of mankind in various historical eras. Romanticism is initially antinomic, paradoxical in nature. The world of romanticism is devoid of unity and is a contradictory picture. On the one hand,it has attention to every­thing unusual, on the other, it is attracted to the poetry of everyday life. Romanticism loses the “ethical immunity” inherent in the Enlightenment. One of the most significant paradoxes of romanticism arises: it is striving for the absolute, artists discover the seduction of evil.

Key words: romanticism; aesthetics of romanticism; relativity of concepts; anti-romanticism; neo-romanticism.

ON THE ESSENCE OF THE TRAGIC ORATORIOS BY G. F. HANDEL

Abstract. The article is devoted to identifying the essence of the tragic in oratorios by G.F. Handel. For this, the author, against the background of a wide circle of diverse and contradictory definitions, shows that the tragic is an insoluble socio-historical conflict that arises as a result of the actions of a person dying due to his unsolvable self-bifurcation. At the heart of this phenomenon is an awareness of the concept of duty, which is embedded in the moral nature of a man as a born judge over himself. In clumps of such a tragic contradiction, which in Han­del’s oratorios expresses “the tragedy of crucifixion” (the concept of T. Livanova) and is focused on the core of the tragedy. The author of the article shows the tragic hero from two opposite sides. Conflicts that go beyond the core and express the “tragedy of action” (T. Livanova) make up the context of the tragic core. An analysis of it in Handel’s oratorios clarifies several aspects: the intrapersonal conflict of the hero, interpersonal conflict, the conflict of the hero with the dark demoniac crowd (or the conquering people celebrating victory and indifference to the hero) and the opposition of the oppressed people to the conquering people. The totality of such conflicts in the work of art makes a multifaceted model of the tragic.

Key words: Handel; oratorio; tragic; ethics; aesthetics; philosophical category; psychological; intrapersonal; inter­personal; passionate conflict; duty.

REFINING THE MEANING OF THE TERM “INTONATION”: About the Logic al Basis of T heories B. Yavorsky, B. Asafiev and K . Zaks

Abstract. The article discusses the fundamental logical foundations of the intonation theories of B. Yavorsky, B. Asafiev, K. Sachs. It is indicated that in musicology the totality of meanings embedded in the concept of “intonation” is formed at the intersection of semantic sets of two other concepts – “singing” and “sign”. The choice of fundamental grounds for intonation theory governs the quality of the semantic content of the term intonation. If an attribute-based analytical judgment (B. Yavorsky) is chosen as the starting point, then the totality of sound phenomena (intonations) is considered as a set of separate special cases in which a single generative law is in effect. In the case of reliance on the principles of intensional logic (B. Asafiev), the essence of intonation appears as the totality of its possible semantic meanings, due to the context of its application in musical art. In the case of constructing the intonation theory based on logical modal operators (K. Sachs), the adequacy of the perception of the meaning of the sound message is guaranteed by the intonation consciousness, biologically inherent in the homo sapiens. Subsequently, through the procedure of substituting the perception method formulated in this way, the meaning of the acoustic message is built into more complex, already processed by the culture, types of communication relations between people.

Key words: intonation; intonation; singing; sign; attributive judgment; intensional logic; modal operators.

PIANO VARIATIONS OF ADISON DENISOV AS AN EXAMPLE OF SERIAL TECHNIQUE IN THE COMPOSER’S CREATION

Abstract. Piano Variations (1961) by Adison Denisov are the unique example of using the total serial technique in the composer’s early works. The aim of the article is to anayze various work methods with the seria. Moreover the sprouts of some typical constituents of his mature style such as energetic ‘torn’rhythms in contrast with ornate, expressive and melodic lines make score graphics woven from dots and lines. In the Variations there is also fully manifested the nature of Denisov’s thinking. By that timt his creative settings had been clearly formed and his following opuses constantly confirmed it. This is about his two fundamental principles; 1) classic thinking man­ifested above all in the architecture of his compositions. 2) the work with the seria as ‘an improvised material’. If subsequently Denisov departs from total seriality but reliance on the series as a starting thematic material is present in all his compositions.

Key words: A. Denisov; A. Webern; serial technique in musical composition; variations.

THE LEITMOTIF SYSTEM IN ANIMATION: THE SCHNITTKE METHOD

Abstract. The article is devoted to the study of the leitmotif system as one of the leading parameters of the musical dramaturgy of the animated film-trilogy based on Pushkin’s drawings (“I’m flying to you with memories”, 1977; “I’m with you again”, 1980; “Autumn”, 1982; directed by A. Hrzhanovsky, the music by A. Schnittke). The study aims to identify the specifics of musical leitmotives in animation. The study poses the following tasks: to analyze A. Schnittke’s leitmotiv technique and compare them with the methods of classical Opera drama. The article deals with the main groups of leitmotives: 1. associated with the personality of the poet, his “life and destiny” and his poetic work, 2. characterizing the environment of Pushkin: high society, nature, folklore, political situation. The development and interaction of various thematic complexes throughout the three films is also traced. On the basis of musicological analysis, as well as memories of the Hrzhanovsky and Schnittke, draws conclusions about the features of Schnittke’s use of Wagner’s leitmotif system in terms of animated movies.

Key words: A. Pushkin; A. Hrzhanovsky; A. Schnittke; animated films; musical dramaturgy; leitmotives.

ISSUES OF DEVELOPMENT OF SERIAL TECHNOLOGY IN THEORETICAL VIEWS AND MUSICAL PRACTICE OF ERNST KSHENEK

Abstract. The article highlights theoretical views of Ernst Krenek on the development of serial technique, shown their reflection in the musical practice of the master.

The adoption of a new method of composition was accompanied by the musician distrust, doubt, and hesita­tion. Discussions with Theodor Adorno played an important role in recognizing the necessity and prospects of the twelve-tone technique. The article reveals the difference between the theoretical positions of both artists, as well as the huge influence of aesthetic views of Karl Kraus on Krenek.

Based on the books and essays of the composer, on the analysis of his works, the work outlines a range of issues that interest Krenek in the field of serial technology. These include identifying the fundamental rules of dodecaphony for the purpose of practical training, identifying areas for further development of technology that are associated with the breaking down of the integrity of the series through segmentation, rotation and other manipulations, with the combination of the serial concept with modality and tonality, with the extension of the principle of the series to other parameters.

At the end of the article concludes the three-phase development of serial work Krenek, reveals the dominant idea in his views on serial technique.

Key words: Ernst Krenek; serial technique; serialism; dodecaphony; music of 20 century.

“VANITAS VANITATUM”: the composing strategies of sense f ormation in S. Sciarrino’s “Vanitas”

Abstract. The article explores the opera of the Italian composer S. Sciarrino «Vanitas», which received the author’s subtitle “natura morta in un atto”. Analyzing the features of the libretto, dramaturgy and its sound realization, the author reveals the composer strategies of meaning formation, the specifics of their implementation and the role of the listener in this process. The most important artistic principle in «Vanitas» is the poetics of subtraction, of meaningful absence. The key to the whole composition is the popular American jazz song «Stardust». The song not only inspired Sciarrino to create a composition dedicated to emptiness and transience, but also predetermined the basic images and meanings, became the “building” material of «Vanitas», embodied in the idea of sound anamorphosis.

At the end of the article it is concluded that «Vanitas» was a unique theatrical experiment for Sciarrino – still life without objects, opera without action – an experiment in which the listener is given an active role. Subtracting the visual component, abandoning the dramatic narrative, the composer offers the listener the process of mental representation of sound images, building a logical connection between them, which ultimately forms the basis of the representation. This conception will be developed in the subsequent works of the Sicilian Maestro, for which he will find a capacious definition – “invisible action” (azione invisibile).

Key words: Salvatore Sciarrino; «Vanitas»; “azione invisibile”; 20th century opera; anamorphosis; Stardust.

“MUSIC FOR PERFORMING” AND “MUSIC FOR LISTENING” IN THE INSTRUMENTAL COMPOSITIONS FOR CHILDREN OF V. G. TRAPEZNIKOV

Abstract. The article attempts to identify the characteristic feature of various areas of children’s music (“music for performance” and “music for listening”) by analyzing the content plans and artistic texts of instrumental com­positions for children of the Ural composer V. G. Trapeznikov. The research is the notebook piano pieces “Toys” and a Suite for folk instruments “Tales for Alyonushka”, which was created based on the work of the same name by D. N. Mom’s Siberian. The work is based on the installation method of the intonation theory and the theory of musical genres, on the thesis of children psychology and on the theory of musical perception. The author determines the main criteria, which indicate the belonging of the considered compositions to different areas of children’s music: the type of program in instrumental music, the presence of imagimg contrast within the pieces, the scale of the musical form, the level of technical complexity of the opus, the type of performer of the composition and the communicative situation of the existence of the work. In the considered instrumental works of V. G. Trapeznikov for children, the Ural composer appears to be an interesting storyteller, able to create vivid, memorable musical images and stories that are close and understandable to everyone; eternal themes of humanism, childhood and love for the native land are revealed.

Key words: V. G. Trapeznikov; Ural composer; music for children; imagery content of musical compositions; pro­gram music; children’s musical perception.

RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHANTERS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

Abstract. The article by O. E. Sheludyakova attempts to elucidate one of the most important problems of modern spiritual musical culture – work of new Russian singers. The work reveals both the ancient Russian traditions of singing and features of the modern practice of their existence; norms of singing in Ancient Russia are considered in conjunction with modern models.

It is noted that the main functions of the chanter in ancient Russia were chanting during divine service of kryuki manuscripts; leadership of the choir during divine services and chants; preservation and development of local singing tradition; creation of new church sings; training of students – singers and, in some cases, training of other chanters.

It is concluded that at the end of the 20th century, the listed parameters are reviving in a new quality: at a certain stage of activity, all new Russian chanters performed the duties of a regent, they served as leaders of the choir and, at the same time, as educators of singers, became collectors of strains, authors of transcriptions, deciphers, harmo­nizes. Often the author’s name was not indicated, chants existed in several equal versions. In the national music of the Orthodox tradition, and in the works of S. Trubachev, archimandrite Matthew, archimandrite Naphanael and others, a deeply original harmonious system of working with the source has developed, which can be compared in depth, integrity and sophistication to Western European.

Key words: new Russian singers; new Orthodox Christian obikhod; spiritual composers of the twentieth century.

«SCHOOLS SHOULD GIVE STUDENTS THE ABILITY TO CONSCIOUSLY LISTEN TO AND UNDERSTAND MUSIC…» (the history of dev eloping a music program for a comprehensive labour school)

Abstract. The process of developing one of the first music programs for a comprehensive labour school is revealed. It is shown that the beginning of the work of a group of prominent music teachers on that program dates back to the middle of 1918 and is connected with the activities of the Moscow Music Council. In the second half of 1918 the work on the program was continued in a number of departments of the People’s Commissariat of Education of the RSFSR, first of all in the subdivision of the general music education of the Music Department under the authority of N. Y. Bryusova. At the beginning of 1919 the document prepared was published and put into effect. The program helped school teachers familiarize students with Russian folk music, classical pieces of domestic and foreign composers. Also the program let students understand the language of music, develop the ability of performing and listening to music and creativity. Many of the ideas and provisions contained in the program seem relevant for the theory and practice of modern general music education.

Key words: music program; comprehensive labour school; the People’s Commissariat of Education; 1918–1919.

SOUNDS AND MUSIC (ON THE REGULARITIES OF PERCEPTION MUSIC INFORMATION)

Abstract. Digitalization of musical sounds for more than 3 decades has been changing the sound environment that surrounds a modern man and makes it musical. This has drawn the attention of specialists of various com­petencies to the themes of the impact of music on humans. Based on the information approach that allowed us to present musical signals as a combination of informative and redundant information, we introduced the concept of the relationship of excess musical information to the informative one as a measure of the ease of human percep­tion of music of different genres. It is shown that the acoustic conditions in which a person perceives music is an important factor that helps the listener to show interest in music, in which the ratio of redundant and informative musical information is reduced. In Russia, where the importance for the development of a society of good acoustic conditions in the perception of music is underestimated in general, so combining the data of musicology, psycho­acoustics, neuroscience, architectural acoustics within the framework of one concept creates the basis for practical work with different sectors of society to promote the need for an overall improvement of acoustic conditions for human interaction with musical culture. It is proposed in musicology studies to include studies of the influence of acoustic conditions on the perception of music.

Key words: musical information; excessive musical information; perception of music; acoustic conditions.
