Abstract
The purpose of the paper is to research the realisation of national idea in professional music creation. The research aims are the following: to reveal the essence of artistic-esthetic phenomenon of national idea; to distinguish basic principles of its manifestation in cultural and artistic heritage; to make a compendious retrospective review of the existing approaches the creators use to the given topic; to systematise the ways of implementing the national paradigm by means of music. Research methodology lies in the use of a set of methods. The analytical and structural-logical methods have been used to describe the concept of the national idea in creative work. The historical method has enabled the creation of the chronology of addressing the given paradigm in the composer’s activity. The method of sources analysis has been applied to study the existing scientific papers on the adjacent issues. The systemic analysis has been used to study the national idea as a complex sociocultural phenomenon, while the method of theoretical generalisation has helped to draw conclusions. Scientific novelty of the research. The article is the first attempt in Ukrainian study of art to generalise the problems of manifesting the national idea in music. Conclusions. Composers manifest national features in their music first of all through their reinterpretation of folk sources that concentrate cultural, philosophical, historical, geopolitical, and psychological knowledge of a specific ethnic group. In a more abstract form the national creation paradigm may be manifested through its connection with the traditions of professional art of a certain country via the use of typical music genres, the specificity of musical language, particular style, and the mode of thinking. Followers of the national idea in music make a lot of effort to restore traditions, their artistic reconsideration, actualization, and renewal with the projection to the modern. Moreover, they try to create a cultural «matrix», an original concept of the nation’s musical creativity.
 Key words: national idea, artistic-esthetic paradigm, music creation.
