ТЕМА СИБИРИ В МУЗЫКАЛЬНОЙ КАРТИНЕ МИРА КРАСНОЯРСКИХ КОМПОЗИТОРОВ: ОПЫТ СИСТЕМАТИЗАЦИИ

Abstract

In cultural space of the past and present, Siberia is one of the relevant topics of contemporary Russian Art Studies and Culturologie. The peculiarity of regional identity and self-consciousness of a creative person, the specificity of style and art technique can be revealed through the prism of this theme. Forming regional cultural identity through works of art is becoming a promising perspective in interdisciplinary research related to the multidimensional study of the Krasnoyarsk Territory culture. The article is devoted to the issues of defining regional identity by exploring the theme of Siberia imprinted in the creative heritage of Krasnoyarsk composers of the late 20th — early 21st century. The paper attempts to systematize themes and images of music Siberiade in the works by Krasnoyarsk authors. The research has shown that the personality of the brilliant Krasnoyarsk artist Vasily Surikov has often been taken as a favourite image while his historical paintings have become a source of inspiration for a number of composers. The creative activities of our contemporary Viktor Astafyev who brought the Krasnoyarsk land worldwide fame has also attracted musicians’ attention. The image of the majestic Yenisei river — a symbol of Krasnoyarsk and Siberia — occupies a distinct niche in the music Siberiade. The research results enrich scientific knowledge about music culture of the region, complement cultural “landscape” of the Yenisei Siberia, determine the significance of the Krasnoyarsk composers’ contribution to forming a unique socio- cultural image of the region.
