VOCAL CYCLE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE MODERN POETICS OF CHAMBER-VOCAL MUSIC

Abstract

The article is a precedent for the musicological study of modern national interpretations of the vocal cycle in the dimensions of the poetics of chamber-vocal music poetics. The purpose of the article is to identify the main trends in the conceptual, thematic- figurative and linguistic-expressive interpretation of the genre model of the vocal cycle as indicator of the modern poetics of chamber- vocal music.The article substantiates the correlation of the genre model of vocal cycle in the works of contemporary Ukrainian composers with the search for new dimensions of artistic reflection, consonant with the guidelines of the cultural paradigm of postmodernity, activation of cross-cultural communication, understanding of cultural as a whole and aimed at preserving the attributive foundations of the poetics of chamber-vocal music and multi-level modification of this genre. It is shown that at the meta-level of the poetics of chamber-vocal music modern national versions of the genre model of the vocal cycle are marked by: preservation of the lyrical basis; active introduction of landscape, civic and patriotic images; preservation of the significance of the «eastern» line of the genre; testing of ironic and satirical themes; poly-language, etc.It was found that at the macro-level of poetics, the vocal cycle demonstrates: the significance of the principle of meditativeness and reflexivity; projection into the horizons of mass culture; at the meso-level – the multi-directionality of innovative, individual, multi- level style and genre searches, stylistic eclecticism, preservation of attributive multi-part cyclicity, and testing if reduced forms in connection with the orientation to the genre indicator of Fine Art – triptych and diptych.The article states that that the micro-level of poetics, the vocal cycle is characterized by the expansions of the intonation and timbre thesaurus, the equalization of the statuses of vocal and instrumental principles, the testing of a complex of means for reproducing the comic principle, which determines the formation of a new meta-language of musical art and new ways of performing self-realization.
