THE PHENOMENON OF SYNTHESIS IN THE MODERN CHORAL ART: A GENRE, A TEXT AND A SCORE

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to study the phenomeno n of a synthesis as a distinguished feature in a modern choral art as well as identification of its features in the context of a genre at the textological level. Methodology. Such methods as discursive textological, comparative analytical and logically con structive methods. The scientific novelty consists in giving reasons for viability in applying the concept of a synthesis in modern choral art with an eye to multi levelness and hierarchy of the concept of a text in artistic system of the choral art. Concl usions The concept of a synthesis is interpreted as an artistic phenomenon, which can be characterized with systemacity, polysemy and logical openness. It becomes actual, in particularly, in choral art. It is found out that a mo dern musical piece shows its uniqueness in multileveled influence on the audience of the definite system of texts. The hierarchy in the concept of a text is defined which exists at the creative and artistic levels; it is formed from objectively compositional constituents; it appears as the interactive unity of authorial, performer's and audience's thoughts; it exists as a source of information in a fixed/recorded , procedural and effective format. The typology of scores (music sheets) as a system of communicative relationship between t he composer, performer and the audience is offered. It is marked that the phenomenon of a synthesis in modern choral art becomes a source for creati on of such textual systems, where there is an interaction between traditions, forms and types of thinking; t he new types of scores (work sheets) are supposed to be find out; new genre formats are defined; the necessity of new scientific grounded methodological approaches in a musical pedagogics, in particularly in the area of choral art is proved.
