ОСНОВИ ТЕОРІЇ ХОРОВОГО ДИРИГУВАННЯ ЯК СПІВВІДНОШЕННЯ ТВОРЧОСТІ РЕГЕНТА І ХОРМЕЙСТЕРА В ОДНІЙ ОСОБІ
FUNDAMENTALS OF THE THEORY OF CHORAL CONDUCTING AS A RELATIONSHIP OF THE CREATIVITY OF REGENT AND CHOIR MASTER IN ONE PERSON

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the work is to determine the foundations of meaning-making by the conducting gesture of the regent and choirmaster according to the specifics of choir management in the church-applied and concert-art spheres of identifying the specified specialisation, based on knowledge about the possibilities in this regard of the luminaries of the Odesa choral school in the persons of K. Pihrov, D. Zahretskyi, L. Butenko and other well-known representatives. The methodological basis is the intonation approach of the school of B. Asafyev in Ukraine, comparative-hermeneutic and cultural prolongations of intonation in the works of D. Androsova, T. Verkina, O. Kozarenko, I. Kotliarevsky, I. Liashenko, Liu Binjan, O. Markova, O. Muravska, O. Sokolova, H. Shpak, V. Shulhina, with the use of scientific and research methods: art history-analytical, descriptive-historical, cultural-regionalist, religious studies, intellectual-biographical definition. The scientific novelty of the work is determined by the fact that, for the first time in Ukraine and abroad, the executive discoveries of the named great representatives of the Odesa choral school became the subject of analysis in the specifics of the understanding of individual techniques, stylistic findings, the separation of the regent component of the choir master's heritage according to the function of the semantic core of the executive expressiveness of choir management. Conclusions. For the first time in Ukrainian musicology, a distinguishing feature has been clearly drawn between the regent and choirmaster general principles of choral conducting, taking into account the applied nature of the former, but that which marks the genesis and attribution of choral vocals as a special meaning of expressing the ideal guidelines of the human worldview, while the artistic significance nourishes the choirmaster's work both in the temple and in concert-theatrical spheres. The "instrumental" levers of the choir master's activity as the adjustment of the "instrument" of the choral multi-level rhythmic sound are also highlighted – and the vocal-"speech" layer in particular. The first of them relies on the conductor's minimal gesticulations, while the second requires a certain plastic expressiveness of hand movements, but bypassing the self-importance of that "hand ballet", which under certain conditions interferes with the intonation accuracy of sound expression. For the first time, the question was raised about the intonation performance of the conductor's sound presentation at the level of training and performance of the choir master.
