Медіальна перспектива мовно-знакової еволюції музики (на матеріалі українських камерно-інструментальних композицій межі ХХ – ХХІ століть)

Author(s): Anastasia Igorivna Kravchenko / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 40/2018

The aim. The aim of the work is to justify the appropriateness of using the term "media" in relation to music and to identify ways of functioning of unrelated sign codes at the system-structural level of organizing musical information, which is based on the material of chamber music of Ukraine at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. Methodology. In the analysis of the polysemyotic compositional integrity of modern Ukrainian chamber pieces the musicological, structural-semantic, semiotic, intermedial, comparative-typological methods were used. Scientific novelty. For the first time on the material of the semiosphere of Ukrainian chamber creativity, medial perspectives of the sign-language evolution of music are highlighted and general criteria for the typological classification of intermedial links in music are outlined. Conclusions. At the present stage, philosophical and cultural universalism of musical aesthetics, which is reflected in the polylogue of musical and extra-musical stylistics, becomes the decisive semiotic and conceptually meaning. This trend causes the expansion of the logical-conceptual apparatus of musicology to polymethodological vectors – the discursive synthesis of research paradigms. Proceeding from the cultural and semiotic positions, it is quite legitimate to use the term "media" in music, the cultural and iconic complex of which demonstrates the ability to interpret and translate not only a rich palette of cultural and semantic meanings, but also a wide range of cultural and symbolic codes, which confirms the presence of medial functions musical semiotics. The presented typology of intermedial links is based on the definition of explicit and implicit principles of the functioning of unrelated symbolic codes and stylistics of artistic and extra-artistic origin in the semiotic space of musical compositions. We are talking about: 1) the multisemiotic way of organizing artistic-semiotic integrity based on the principle of explicit synthesis of stylistic-technological and expressive possibilities of music and other arts as an combination of different semiotic series; 2) the monosemiotic method, based on the principle of implicit synergy of semiotic music codes and any other artistic and extra-artistic symbolic systems, presupposing the "recoding" of some semiotic codes in the language of others. Thus, the medial perspective of the linguistic and linguistic evolution of music is the path to a universal, polyfunctional semiotics, directing the structuring of musical matter in semiotically complexly organized texts with a doubled semantic potential.

Liu Danli: Visualising the Chinese Dream

Author(s): Yue Wang / Language(s): English Issue: 7/2018

This essay examines how the performance art of Chinese national soprano Liu Danli narrates successfully the Chinese Dream and thus arouses new hopes and a rising sense of confidence in Chinese people’s minds. Her masterpieces Si Qing Ji, Hong Hu Chi Wei Dui, and You Ai Cai You Jia have been building our own culture from different angles. Her unique style, with elegant and poetic interpretation, is formed due to her tough training and abundant stage experience gained in early years at the theatre group. She has been integrating the scientific methods of opera singing in occidental bel canto to her later arias, combining Chinese Xiqu techniques in phrasing, singing and body movement into vivid characterization, thus making daring reforms in script adaptation, voice appropriateness, ballet footwork, action design, melody design and singing style to canonic plays and recreating new canons.

Художньо-інтерпретаційний дискурс Бахіанства у глокалізованому просторі (на прикладі рецепції клавірної творчості композитора у Львов)

Author(s): Stepan Stepanovich Solansky,Zoryana Mykolayivna Lastovetska-Solanska / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 2/2019

The Purpose of the Article is to investigate the artistic and interpretive discourse of J.S. Bach’s clavier creativity, its reception in Lviv as an object of globalized cultural and artistic surroundings. The methodology of the research is based on the application of historical, musicological, artistic and critical, culturological and analytical approaches, which enabled to analyze the basic principles of the criteria of globalization, the intensity of global and local interactions and the speed of the global reactions on the example of reception and the spread of Bach’s creativity, to trace certain models of interpretation in the historical perspective, taking into account historically formed artistic priorities and tastes of Lviv residents. Such a methodology made it possible to accentuate the modern and postmodern stages of the globalization of cultural and spiritual processes in the projection into the interpretive discourse of Bach’s creation in a specific region. The scientific novelty consists in formulating the definition of artistic and interpretive discourse, in expanding the notions of the globalized and glocalizated socio and cultural surroundings, in the study of the performing discourse of the Bach’s clavier works in Lviv through the prism of its artistic and cultural traditions and achievements. Conclusions. The dominant views of the interactions between global and local are the active apperception of recognized world models of the interpretation of Bach’s clavier music in Lviv. Its artistic and interpretive discourse and traditions of reception are characterized by a symbiosis of external factors and internal conditions. The simultaneous existence of romantic, authentic performances, the performing of works by the German composer with jazz pianists enriches the rich palette the Bach’s Compendium in the glocalizated artistic and interpretive space of Lviv.

Естрадний вокал як відмінна риса урбаністичної культури

Author(s): Oksana Oleksandrivna Sinenko / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 2/2019

The purpose of the article. This article has the main purpose to analyze pop vocal as a specific phenomenon generated by urban culture and way of life of the big city, which implies, accordingly, the rhythmic features of pop performances. The methodology of research is based on an interdisciplinary approach to the pop vocal as an object that exists not only on the stage, it is not isolated, but penetrates into different spheres of life. In addition, pop performance is the background, which due to its accessibility is perceived as a backdrop, not just as an independent phenomenon. Significant role here also belongs to the sociology of music. Scientific novelty of the article is that in this article pop music is considered not only as an isolated phenomenon, the place of deployment of which is a scene. The performance and field of performance of the pop artist is a product of urban cul ture and reflects its rhythm. Accordingly, pop performance is a complex phenomenon that does not exist separated from other cultural patterns, but is a background that accompanies the dynamics of urban processes. Conclusions. Various aspects of pop vocal are studied by scientists in works devoted to different fields of culture. As a cultural phenomenon, pop performance is inappropriate to consider from the point of view of its stage isolation, because it penetrated almost all spheres of life, everyday life of man. Not least this was due to the support of the pop music, which has become like a kind of city ambient, on the part of the media. Thus, pop performance expresses the specifics of the urban way of life. Hence, such essential characteristics of pop vocal as the frequency of changes in the rhythm of songs and the sound of the performer’s voice, the lack of stable norms and rules, the combination of achievements of different layers of culture (both academic and folk based on folk-based basis), standardization and an attempt to develop their own style and manner of execution, variety of subjects, accessibility for any listening audience, dynamism, unity. It is also possible to characterize the very urban culture. Variety performance is nothing more than a “rhetoric of steps”.

За музикалната среда в документалния филм (представяне на културноисторическо наследство)

Author(s): Valeri Pastarmadjiev / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Issue: 3/2019

Cultural heritage preservation for posterity is a special challenge and an ever-topical subject. There are a number of tools allowing to preserve and present historical memory to the general public. Among the most effective ways to do so is its recreation by using audiovisual media and its objectification in documentary films. Film, and in particular documentary film, uses a set of devices to achieve the desired goal. Musical environment, in holding the potential for creating an overall feeling of a certain period, plays a special role in effectively representing events of cultural and historical significance. In this respect, the goal of this study is to bring forth the role and specifics of the musical environment of documentary films in preserving cultural and historical heritage. The object under study here is the musical environment in a documentary dealing with Bulgaria’s cultural and historical heritage, namely The Masters Who Turned Time Forward. Another important focus is also the process of composing music as an impactive element with its own specificities. The article presents some aspects of the interplay between musical atmosphere and visual environment in the documentary as a symbiosis between the act of presenting and capturing and, in this sense, preserving cultural and historical heritage. An overview has been made of the role of music in films and more specifically, in documentary filmmaking. The correlation between the film story, the sites on which historical events unfold, and the film score has been analysed. The reasons behind the choices of genre, musical instruments and merging musical styles have been provided. The documentary shows historical sites of architectural value constructed by master builders from Bratsigovo. The author presents the above-mentioned devices as an effective tool in creating the musical atmosphere of a documentary viewing cultural and historical heritage as a prerequisite for facilitating the reception of and social commitment to the presented cultural values.

Unitate și diversitate în cântarea liturgică din Biserica Ortodoxă Română

Author(s): Mircea Florian Pădureanu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 02/2019

Music and singing are inseparable, the text being on the first place. The singing of words, their living, works wonderfully on the soul, the Christian truths deeply penetrating the heart of the believer, as the Blessed Augustine says. The appearance of the Byzantine music in Romania is closely related to the appearance and spread of Christianity on the territory of our country. The liturgical song of the Orthodox Church has holy sources, being filtered by the experiences of the Romanian soul. The result of this selection was the appearance of a traditional melos performed by national church music heroes, Macarie Ieromonahul and Anton Pann. The old church singers worked and enriched the old music of the Eastern Church according to the musical genius and the practical Romanian genius, we having the duty to preserve, cultivate and develop this singing, identified with the “Romanian and religious taste and sense” as Bishop Melchisedec Ștefănescu said.

Author(s): Zorica Manojlović / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 1/2018

The subject of the paper is the development of cultural institutions in the earlier socialist period, but also the role of individuals who, besides their obligations, included their knowledge, talent and belief that it is worth investing in culture regardless of political and social circumstances. One of them was a Croatian pedagogue, composer and writer Zlatko Špoljar (1892-1981), an urban intellectual who, by decree, arrived in the Kvarner region and Istria from Zagreb in 1945, after a very productive professional period of his younger years behind him. He came to Lovran in 1956 from Pula, in whose post-war educational and cultural life he played a prominent role. Retired but still an active creator, as well as everywhere, in Lovran he continues to develop music and stage culture in collaboration with the local cultural societies and school. In addition to working with Lovran amateurs and children, amongst other things, he leaves his own author mark in the unknown composition dedicated to Lovran, preserved in his legacy. The results of the research of the archival material in the State Archives in Rijeka, daily press and oral sources have been presented.

Cântece de dragoste bilingve ale sașilor transilvăneni

Author(s): Sanda Ignat / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 33/2019

Die vorliegende Abhandlung präsentiert zwei- und dreisprachige Volkslieder der Siebenbürger Sachsen aus dem Tonbandbestand des Instituts „Folklorearchiv der Rumänischen Akademie” in Cluj-Napoca und skizziert deren Liedbiographie, indem auch Belege aus anderen deutschsprachigen Liedlandschaften herangezogen werden. Unsere Liedbeispiele stammen von Audioaufnahmen, die in den 60er-70er Jahren auf Feldforschungen in ethnisch gemischten siebenbürgischen Dörfern durchgeführt worden sind. Eine Umfrage zu diesen Liedern unter den heutigen Siebenbürger Sachsen ergänzt die Analyse mit aktuellen Informationen. Die gemischtsprachigen Volkslieder sind von der Form und Funktion her mit den Kunstmischliedern verwandt und zeichnen sich meist durch die humoristische Wirkung der Sprachmischung aus. Diese für die mehrsprachigen Gegenden charakteristische Liedgattung ist nicht nur für die Erforschung der Mehrsprachigkeit, sondern auch musikalisch interessant. In diesem Sinnekann sie im Hinblick auf die interethnischen Wechselbeziehungen in der südosteuropäischen Volksmusik, sowie für das Problem der Zirkulation der Volksgüter relevant sein.

NEURODIDACTICS - A FIELD WITH MULTIPLE IMPLICATIONS IN MUSICAL EDUCATION

Author(s): Tatiana Hilca / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

In the current socio-cultural background, we can feel an ever-growing enlargement of the range of tools one has available for engaging the demands and the reality of the modern world. Neurodidactics comprises the understanding of behavioural, emotional and cognitive manifestations. It is, therefore, one of the tools through which we try to attract all of the beneficial results attributed to neurosciences, in order to postulate them and to involve them in the didactic teaching and learning processes. This interdisciplinary area therefore attempts to establish some principles and solutions for more efficient means of teaching and learning, which are based on the studies of neurosciences.A brief incursion in this interdisciplinary domain – a concise analysis of its basic principles, of the canons postulated by various specialists in this field is therefore necessary as long as the benefits brought forth by this area of study in the teaching and learning processes have proven to be ever more efficient.

MUZICA BISERICEASCĂ A SÂRBILOR DIN BANATUL ROMÂNESC – SCURTĂ RETROSPECTIVĂ ISTORICĂ (Sec. XVIII-XXI)

Author(s): Dejan Popov / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2019

Comunitatea ortodoxă sârbă din Banat se mândrește cu o lungă și bogată tradiție a cântului bisericesc, transmisă din generație în generație atât prin cântarea de strană, cât și prin activitatea de aproape două secole a corurilor bisericești. Eliberarea Banatului de sub dominație otomană în anul 1716 a determinat, printre altele, o revigorare a vieții bisericești și implicit, a serviciului religios sub toate aspectele sale. În prima parte a lucrării este descrisă evoluția muzicii bisericești sârbe din punct de vedere al cântului propriu-zis (al melodiilor cântate în cadrul serviciilor religioase) – atât a celui de strană cât și a celui coral. În continuare este expusă evoluția istorică a celor două componente ale cântului bisericesc, cu referire la diverse aspecte legate de acestea (modalitatea de învățare a cântului, grija autorităților bisericești de a asigura personal calificat, muzica corală ca fenomen de masă, etc.). Sunt evidențiați principalii exponenți ai cântului bisericesc al sârbilor din Banatul Românesc – cantori, profesori de cântări, melografi, dirijori, coruri. Concluziile lucrării sunt prezentate din perspectiva stării actuale a celor două componente.

CONDACUL – CEA MAI COMPLEXĂ FORMĂ A POEZIEI IMNOGRAFICE BIZANTINE

Author(s): Radu Bogdan / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2019

Nota de originalitate a Sfântului Roman în imnografia bizantină o constituie dialogul, mai exact, adaptarea dialogului la genul poetic, întrepătrunderea perfectă dintre genul dramatic și cel liric. Sfântul Roman reușește să păstreze aceeași metrică, același număr de silabe, același refren, chiar dacă personajele sale vorbesc între ele. De asemenea, condacul ne propune să inițiem un dialog cu Dumnezeu, dar și să-L ascultăm pe Dumnezeu, Care ne vorbește mereu. Condacul rămâne, axul, punctul de sprijin pentru întreaga imnografie bizantină, un gen deosebit de complex, cel mai complex, deosebit de bogat în conținut teologic, de mari dimensiuni, un gen care a inspirat tot ceea ce a urmat după el.
