Abstract
The artistic image of Ivan the Terrible has been long defined as one of the semantic dominant in the Russian art. The use of this image has an important place in the composers’ creativity, including implementation of Russian national identity in the musical works. However, this problem has not received special study in science. The investigated compositions of Rodion Shchedrin and Sergei Slonimsky show that the composers were able to implement the concept of national-cultural identity through ancient musical code — “znamennost” (znamenny chant) — in the disclosure of artistic image of the Tsar Ivan and his era. This is newness in the embodiment of the image. Nobody of their great predecessors, disclosing the image of the Tsar Ivan by musical means, had implemented this phenomenon of znamenitost previously. The author concludes that znamenny chant, newfound in the depths of the ancient Russian church-singing culture, receives a scientific substantiation as the archetype of the national musical identity.

В этом отношении «Стихира» Родиона Щедрина коррелирует с самоидентификацией образа царя Ивана Грозного, представленная им самим в музыкально-гимнографическом творчестве

Summary
В условиях процессов глобализации экономики и культуры острота проблематики исследования национально-культурной идентичности связана с переживаемым ею кризисом, c разрушением и утратой чувства духовной самобытности во многих странах мира. Архетип национальной идентичности мыслится как музыкально-историческое ядро на всех хронологических этапах его воплощения в композиторском творчестве. Образ Ивана Грозного и его эпохи, развиваясь в творчестве выдающихся композиторов, обретает неповторимые авторское воплощение. Образ царя Ивана уже давно определяется как смысловая доминанта в отечественном искусстве.
