Sacred song in the context of development of culture of Ukraine during the Іndependent period

Summary/Abstract: Sacred song is one of the largest layers of Ukrainian musical culture. In the article the peculiarities of the development of the sacred songs of the period of independent Ukraine are revealed. Liturgical, extraliturgical and paraliturgical varieties of sacred songs were analyzed in the context of the traditions of the orthodox culture. The Genesis of sacred song in Ukraine reaches the ХVI century, a time when "psalmas songs and chant that had a sacred content and were performed outside the Church. These two genres have a lot in common, but have their own peculiarity features. First of all, a psalm is associated with folk art chant is connected with the author's creativity or arrangement. The interest of researchers to Ukrainian sacred song can be traced to the late XIX century. Literature researches and philological analysis of the Ukrainian sacred songs were made by I. Franko, M. Hrushevsky, M. Wozniak, V. Hnatiuk, Y. Jaworski. In the late ХІХ – at the beginning of the ХХ centuries the first musicological understanding of the Ukrainian sacred singing appeared. The most important things in this aspect are the scientific surveys of Ukrainian composers and folklorists M. Lysenko, F. Kolessa, P. Demutsky, M. Grinchenko, B. Kudryk. The soviet period was marked by almost a complete lack of attention from the critics to the problems of the analysis of the Ukrainian sacred song. The exception was the occasional reference to the issue of domestic musicologists – A. Shrier Tkachenko, V. Bulat, A. Pravdica, P. Matsenko. The systematic research of the Ukrainian sacred songs appeared in the period of independence. The substantial and musicological analysis of the Ukrainian sacred songs of the XVII – XVIII centuries in the monograph by Y. Medvedik is investigated. A significant contribution to the Ukrainian musicology is considered to be the scientific work of O. Zosim, namely systematic and comprehensive analysis of Ukrainian sacred songs of Western-European origin during the whole period of its existence.
