New Ortodox Sacral Music

Summary/Abstract: Article The New Orhtodox Sacral Music was made as an aesthetic-teoretical programm should encompass and interpret the basics, which I believe, it could be build the new develop of new orthodox music This study should explain beginnings which I have been taken as a composer trough designing and composing mz PhD artistic project – composition Božićni kondak for mixed choir accapella, solists and percussions. When in musical history begun the discontinuity in some genre or in some style, the establishment of some past genres/styles was not only artistic, but researching-theoretical assignment. Whitout knowing the basics of: theology, the sacred order of the church, the problem of perception (orhtodox) choir music and its applying in sacred manifestations, and church singing – I would not started this whole project. This disciplines are not familiar often to contemprorary composers (but in the past situation was different – the orhtodoh music tradition was part of everyday life and culture), and its hard for many of them to establish the conitnuitety with this tradition; so this new orhtodox music is based on new, independent, but competent intrepretation of traditional chucrh music. This study should help anyone who will start to compose church music and re-examined their knowledge in this field. In first three capters are being considered the existential aspects of: history, generes, structural-arragement of compositions, and stilisticaesthetic in the byzanic-slovenic/European-Christian teritory. The knowing of roots of orthodox singing and its teology basics, as well as knowing the literary hymnographic heritage are necessary for developings in church generes this days. Many arhaic musical arrangement principes could be plot for contemproray compositional tehniques of church music. The aim of this article is to put in foucs some of this tehniques. In the forth and fifth chepters are being considering the circumstances of these days church music and perspectives of its future developing, which I see it contextualizes it too. The goal was also to point on plenty ways of developing of this genre and my approuch is just one of them. The researching space is huge and researchers of conteproray music could present many answers. The church music could still give the inspiration and many contemproray composers create in this music field of orthodox church music. As a rusalt of whole stylistc developing, today we have available lots of expressive resources which could be used in developing of own style. From claster sound, trough minimalism and usage of alequational structures to the re-actualisation of tonal usage of ancient songs; and return into the medieval, renaissance, baroque, and even romantic procedures – so all it belongs within the possible range into the compositional-technique and stzlistic solutions which could be seen in contemproray church music. Church music as a genre is not part of comerical music, so it could be persistent in its own autochthonous deleping way, testifying the possibility of new Christian humanism in future.
