Abstract

The name of the Chinese composer Shi Guangnan is extremely rare in Russianlanguage studies. But in musicological literature in Chinese, more than two hundred works are dedicated to him. However, most of them represent Shi Guangnan in a barely outlined cultural context. Therefore, identifi cation of the artistic environment of the personality and creativity of the bright Chinese composer of the 20th century seems relevant and promising against the background of intensifying intercultural interactions. The main fi gure who infl uenced Shi Guangnan was the writer Lu Xin, whose story was a basis for the composer’s best work - the opera “Mourning for the Departed” (1981). The paper considers the composer’s “dialogue” not only with Lu Xin, but also with the time, epoch and those personalities who were part of it and who Shi Guangnan met on his way.
