Новітні жанрово-стильові тенденції у концертній діяльності академічного камерного хору «Хрещатик» (на прикладі аналізу сценічного проекту «Класика жартома: Choir Smiles»)
Abstract
Main objectives of the study are to analyze the manifestations of the newest genre and style tendencies, which are traced in the modern concert and stage practice of the Academic сhamber сhoir «Khreschatyk» (based on the example of the stage project analysis «Classic for fun: Choir Smiles»). Methodology of the study is based on using the universal scientific methods, such as induction, deduction, analysis, synthesis, structural and comparative analysis, systematization and summarizing. Using mentioned above methods allows to identify and analyze in detail the concert, stage, figurative and dramatic parameters, which are the basis of the creative searches in the process of working on an art project “Classic for fun: Choir Smiles”. The analysis of original innovative algorithms takes the special meaning in such context, which are creatively personified by the producer and the choir’s management. The point of these algorithms is actualized at the crossing of different artistic planes, genre, style and chronotopic areas. The scientific novelty of the work consists in enriching the modern musical science with new analytical developments and observations as for functioning the newest genre and stylistic tendencies in the modern national chamber and choir stage practice. Due to it, the special scientific value acquires the introduction into the scientific use of the completely original author’s definition, which characterizes the creation of the fundamentally new genre of art named as «the theater of choir miniature». Conclusions. Basing on the conducted analysis of the stage project «Classic for fun: Choir Smiles», there are grounds to confirm, that, at least, two of the newest genre and style tendencies of the artistic activity of the Academic сhamber сhoir «Khreschatyk» are traced. One of them is aimed at attracting to the choral concert and stage practice specific lexical elements, which are inherent to merely theatrical, choreographic and cinematic genres, such as using of visual and stage effects (the use of typical cinematic and camera methods, especially rapids, freeze frame, comparisons of various visual foreshortenings, etc.). The other tendency is characterized by the desire of chronotropic and eclectic style synthesis connected with multi-choice combination of world-famous musical «emblems», which are realized in the specific intonation and rhythmic formulas of national and foreign music of the past and present days. The fundamentally important innovative factor of the collective’s creative activity is the transformation of audio and visual parameters of the stage space (the movement of the different groups of choir performers, choreographic mise en scenes and multi-role correlation). This transformation is been doing in accordance with the producer’s conception and, at the same time, the actual requests of the various audience are optimally taken into consideration. So, there are grounds to confirm that the experimental search of original musical and dramatic algorithms is an inalienable part of the artistic activity of the Academic сhamber сhoir «Khreschatyk». These algorithms are aimed at optimal decoding of musical and stage information, programming in the producer’s artistic concept and the artistic conception of the particular composer.
Keywords: concerts of the Academic сhamber сhoir «Khreschatyk», genre and style synthesis, experimental stage and choir concepts, the theater of choir miniature.
