CHAMBER-INSTRUMENTAL CREATIVE WORKS OF UKRAINIAN COMPOSERS OF THE LATE 20TH AND EARLY 21ST CENTURIES: AN EXPERIMENTAL DISCOURSE

Abstract

The study is devoted to the analysis of modern Ukrainian banduristics on the base of instrumental and vocal-instrumental music for bandura of the late 20th -21st centuries in the context of the latest performing and expressive means and techniques. The authors claim that among the varieties of modern musical content, bandura creativity is one of the most active and intensively developing areas, in particular, due to changes in the design of the instrument. One of the key theses of the article is that the rapid development of bandura music creativity in the second half of the 20th - 21st centuries is connected not only with the improvement of traditional ways of playing, but also with the expansion of the sphere of expressive possibilities of bandura due to the emergence of new performance techniques and means. Using the example of the work of modern Ukrainian composers, it is shown that modified traditional and modern means of expression are a relevant topic of modern banduristics. Nowadays, a concert bandurist has a significant set of technical tools in his arsenal, which make it possible to solve the multi-component tasks of reading the author's idea of a work.
