Претворение жанра плача в русской хоровой музыке второй половины ХХ–ХХI веков

Abstract

The article is devoted to analyzing the peculiarities of implementing the genre of the lamentation into Russian choral music in the context of certain stylistic tendencies of the second half of the 20th century. The author highlights two chief principles: recreating of the folk genre as an integral structure with preservation of the basic typological features: reinterpretation of the genre through its separate components by means of synthesis with other genres. The peculiarities of the approach toward folk music material are disclosed in the current of the neo-folkloristic trend and in the context of sacred music. The neo-folkloristic musical compositions from the 1960s and 1970s demonstrate the aspiration towards complication and psychologization of the folk music genre source, which often brings it towards reevaluation and deformation. The opposite tendency – of preserving the original semantics of the folk music pre-image – predominates in sacred music, since in the sacred space the folk musical original source manifests itself as a sign of the national element. Keywords: lamentation, neo-folkloristic trend, sacred music, synthesis of genres, polyphony of strata of folk music genres
