Abstract

The article examines the basic artistic images of V. N. Salmanov’s oratorio “The Twelve”: twelve Red Guards and Jesus Christ. For the first time, the researcher analyses musical expressive means and semantic meaning, draws parallels between contemporary philosophical conceptions and meaningful filling of the mentioned musical images. The analysis allows the author to reveal new dimensions of V. N. Salmanov’s large-scale composition. The paper concludes on the essential semantic role of two images (the twelve and Christ) in forming the composition’s artistic conception.
