IDEOLOGICAL CONCEPTS AS EXPRESSIONS OF CONTEXTUAL AND PUBLIC AND SOCIAL PATTERNS IN 1930S CREATIVITY ART

Abstract

Research objective. Choral art of the 1930s is of considerable historical and artistic value. His ideology reinforces interest in research in view of the development of a factual and statistical base in relation to that period and approaches to a holistic view of it as a phenomenon unfolding in a very specific space. The aim of the study is to take a step towards filling the knowledge gap by identifying contextual predetermining and influences, binding style analysis, and providing a basis for panoramic understanding of choral art in the 1930s as a significant component of the then mass culture of both Ukrainian areas on the basis of the systematization of data on conceptual, genre-related peculiarities and stylistics of choral opuses of the given period. The scientific novelty (taking into account the factors of educational, system-forming and artistic influence of collective music on individual and mass consciousness) is determined by the comprehension of analogies and differences between political parties and different areas of creativity, as well as identifying typical patterns in this important area. The methodology is based on fixing a peculiar transgression aimed at overcoming the idea of an impassable ideological boundary between the choral arts of Western and Soviet Ukraine. This methodological “shift” is necessary for the field of study of academic choral music and mass choral song, as well as for the formation of objective and weighted “cultural history”. Conclusions. Choral art as an art form in this complex decade demonstrates a rather flexible genre-style system. Its verbal and musical concepts legitimately identify contextual and societal patterns. These concepts contributed to the transformation of abstractions into the universals of mass consciousness, revealing signs of the association of genres with certain ideological content, while leaving the rest wide field for their identification with various phenomena. The potential of creative search beyond strict censorship remains high, encouraging further study of choral creativity of that time.
