Personification of Composer’s Creativity as the Way to Understand and Present Valuable Cultural Experience

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with some aspects of the composer’s artistic personality, which are key to brand new understanding of the semantic dominant in cultural environment and determine its value as a cultural and historical phenomenon. For a long time composer’s personality was considered through the prism of style, but style paradigm in a modern art is not able to cover the whole range of composition expression of individuality. In the twentieth century composing style began to function like technique, "method", "manner", "writing", but there is possibility to observe the deep unity in a variety of creative forms of bright creative individuality that is based not only on the stylistic features already established by culture, but also on that dimension, which allows to realize the integrity of human subjectivity through its various projections into objective reality. Composer’s individual "components of style" belong not only to his personal consciousness. They promote the process of authentication of musical style that is active in the work of composers in the twentieth century. In general, the study of compositional identity becomes "key" to a new systematic study of music as an artistic and aesthetic form, the interdisciplinary possibilities of musicology (including – philosophical, sociological, psychological) that increase its methodological and cultural significance. Therefore, professional musicological awareness, at the same time, confident possession of cultural knowledge allows determining musicological projectivity of cultural approaches and cultural depth, meaningful of musicological methods of analysis. The main objective is to form a research approach to the art of the Ukrainian masters which is based on the features of semantic content and means of its expression in the musical text, i.e. on the semantics of creations. This approach is motivated by the semantic intentions of culture, for instance, by "categories of boundary principles’ (O. Kyrylyuk) or "eternal existential dichotomies "(N. Revenko) and at the same time it allows to put specific questions about certain art technologies. It results in the importance to address the full range of composers’ techniques in the Ukrainian music in its evolutionary orientation, polyparametrons of compositional language, which is reflected in a separate piece of music and specifies its value as a cultural and historical phenomenon, as well as the importance to determine the most influential artistic expression due to aesthetic specific forming etc. Almost all modern musicological studies point to the need to combine, integrate and adapt in a selected subject area different approaches, research methods, including methods for the analysis of music, which are defined as traditional, namely, genre and style, intonation and semantic, structural and compositional. Nowadays special concept of cultural context is not formed completely. Several studies revealed its importance as a certain level to consider compositional creativity, and which is conditioned due to the study of typical characteristics of this creativity. There are preferably three such levels put in the following order: figurative and conceptual, genre and formative, stylistic and technical. Thus, here is the opportunity to digress from the meaning of the text as ethical and aesthetic philosophical interpretation of the meaning of a musical work through the value functions of genre and style solutions to the techniques and tools (sign feature) to express this meaning. Hence, not only the integration of a considerable number of cultural, historical, aesthetic, musical and textual matters, but also reproduction of the leading concepts about genre elements and preconditions of genre unity of music culture, approaches to stylistic and semantic analysis of texts in the wide array of mass music culture is referred the factors of relevance of contemporary cultural approach. There is the possibility to digress from a summarizing review of massive music to identification of the leading features of some massive musical genres and to functional study of "their" levels and hierarchical consistency of mass musical culture. The biggest difficulty is related to the disclosure of relationship between mass music as a cultural and semantic artifact that is apparent, designed and realized reality of culture and specification of its particular form. The problem of coexistence between mass and elite presents one of the main challenges while determining activity criteria of modern creative personality. Today, however, the concept of mass becomes more important, it is the essential hallmark of cultural awareness; it refers to the universal and unifies actors in a communication space. Thus, the phenomenon of personalization combines together two major dimensions of human personality in the "life world of culture", artistic and cultural, one that is based on specialized professional figures, and one that expresses the total communicative and semantic guidance of culture.
