Religious and cult foundations of creativity G. Sviridov

Релігійно-культові засади творчості Г. Свиридова.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to identify the religious and cult foundations of the compositional method as the leading paradigmatic properties of G. Sviridov's works. The research methodology is based on a systematic analytical approach, highlighting the musical-historical, etymological, textological, and semantic musicological methods, and makes it possible to trace the paths to the formation of the stylistic attributes of G. Sviridov's work. The scientific novelty of this article is contained in the identification of the Orthodox liturgical tradition as a cultural dominant in the works of G. Sviridov. Conclusion. The main stylistic installations and leading semantic aspects in the works of G. Sviridov clearly demonstrate that religious-cult tendencies take on the value of a paradigm, and in the late period of his work they reach a philosophical, even theological, generalization. On the one hand, the composer aspires to oratorios as one of the permanent forms of musical expressiveness endowed with stable intonation-thematic formulas, as a reflection of the sphere of collective songwriting as a wide musical metaphor of memory - conciliarity, on the other, it strives to song as the ideal natural way of being of music.
