TRADITIONS OF BAROQUE GENRES IN MODERN INTERPRETATION BY UKRAINIAN COMPOSERS (USING THE EXAMPLE OF VIOLIN REPERTOIRE)

Abstract

The relevance of the study is determined by the need to understand the specifics of the contemporary interpretation of Baroque genres by Ukrainian composers. The article presents the types of use of genre models in works for violin. Two main vectors are distinguished: stylization and free use of genre models based on genetic and semantic features. The following methods were used: the method of historical poetics; cross-cultural; comparative; evaluative and generalizing. The comprehensive use of these methods allowed us to reveal both the theoretical foundations of genre models and the practical aspects of their implementation in composers' work at the present stage. The mechanisms for preserving the ‘genre memory’ of the chaconne in conditions of complete rejection of the tonal system are revealed, where the role of the ostinato foundation shifts from harmonic sequence to interval, timbre-texture and rhythmic complexes. It is noted that the revival of Baroque genres in the contemporary violin repertoire is a representative creative trend. The relevance of the stylisation method in 20th-century compositional creativity is proven. The scientific novelty of the research lies in a comprehensive theoretical and analytical understanding of Baroque genres in the latest violin repertoire. The conclusions emphasize that the traditions of baroque genres are manifested in the stylization or in the use of individual features of their models in the context of modern musical language and writing techniques (minimalism and avant-garde expressionism). For Ukrainian musical art, the appeal to the chaconne is an act of actualizing ties with the European cultural space. The work of Ukrainian composers demonstrates that the baroque model is capable of organically absorbing radical avant-garde innovations, confirming the continuity of the development of academic genres. The traditions of baroque genres in modern composers' reading consist in the combination of intellectual baroque tradition with radical avant-garde search, which confirms the inclusion of Ukrainian academic music in the pan-European context.
