While examining the time and space of official festivities, the author traces the process of design of texts of symbolic pictures narrating on the advent of “the happy life” of the new socialist era in the history of humankind. The theatrical pageantry replicating the chief events of Soviet history, being a significant component of mass holidays, is researched by the author within the dynamics of the process of formation of new forms of culture occurring during the course of the entire specified stage of research. In the variety of the mass shows of 1920 the most large-scale is the grandiose stage work “The Conquest of the Winter Palace” replicating the events of October 1917 in real time and space, accompanied by the performance of the proletarian anthem, revolutionary songs, marches and gunshots. This constructed quasi-military atmosphere unified the sound space of the festivity, singling it out from the everyday routine spatial/temporal domain. The application of performative means created the conditions for the perception of the developed action as a real-time historical event. These were the means by which the sacred chronotope of the Soviet holiday was created: the traditional spatial/temporal dimension of the holiday received an innovational interpretation through the implementation of new symbols which are significant for the formation of the Soviet state. The publication is prepared within the framework of scholarly project No. 20-012-00366–А “Performative forms of musical art as a phenomenon of modern culture” supported by the RFFI.","PeriodicalId":171243,"journal":{"name":"Music Scholarship / Problemy Muzykal'noj Nauki","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116773191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author emphasizes that academic research of the issue of singing intonation becomes possible only from the perspective of systematic theory, where the self-organization of complex living system undergoes a contemporary scientific and humanitarian analysis.","PeriodicalId":171243,"journal":{"name":"Music Scholarship / Problemy Muzykal'noj Nauki","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130948188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The number of these genres in Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula is countless, since there exist so many local dialects, and musical expression can be found in all of these regions. This research focuses only on three areal pop songs, two found on the Sumatra Islands and one found in North Sulawesi. The two genres found on the Sumatra islands (Deli and Minang) are exceptional as being the chief genres which received its influences from the characteristics of the original Malay songs, while the other one comes from Minahasa, the music of which has possesses its own peculiar different melodic styles, but provides the same type of expression in singing. This research employed fieldwork, as well as study of the selected recordings available on various types of social media, including Youtube, etc. During the fieldwork, informal interviews were taken from a number of selected local musicians and singers. The collected data from the fieldwork then was interpreted and analysed (in the form of object analysis) by means of musical theory perspectives and aesthetical criticism. As it is presented here, this research is not in the least comparative, but allows the readers to enjoy the similarities and the differences of the genres. It was discovered that all the genres shared similar Malay musical idioms in traditional narratives, as well as oral cultures which demonstrate the dynamism of changes and sustainability of the local dialects as linguistic expression. Suggestions for further research is quite vital, since there are still many musical and aesthetical values waiting their turn to undergo research for future documentation and enhancement of shared values.","PeriodicalId":171243,"journal":{"name":"Music Scholarship / Problemy Muzykal'noj Nauki","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133941610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The basic characteristic features of this interconnection are disclosed: expansion of public space into loci and their transformation; the “corporeal” reality of action; the playing character; the creation of conditions of utopian freedom; the removal of the usual limitations; supra-ordinary conviviality; a specific modus of farcicality; stage appeal and poly-genre qualities. A functional approach is applied for characterizations of manifestation of carnival features in the activities of street musicians. Evidence is provided that with the disappearance of traditional folk carnival forms street music replicates carnival features in contemporary cultural space, carrying out the pertinent compensatory and creative functions: spontaneous aestheticization of public space; the creation of conditions of vivacious unmediated communication and co-authorship; the formation of a supra-ordinary festive mood. Critique is administered to approaches which absolutize in street music the tendencies of resistance to the standard social orders. Application of the contextual approach helps substantiate the specific features of the value of street music in the artistic and extra-artistic contexts. The validity and fruitfulness of application of the concept of carnival features is validated in the analysis of the interaction between street music and the institutions which regularize the ways of public space. Carnival features are shown as comprising one of the characteristic features providing the irremediableness of street music from out of the space of culture.","PeriodicalId":171243,"journal":{"name":"Music Scholarship / Problemy Muzykal'noj Nauki","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126496394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The choice of the initial position for beginning-level instruction of playing string instruments holds an important place among these differences, and the first position is generally used at the initial stage of traditional violin instruction. It is, however, only one of the chosen methods, which also include the technique of third position for beginning instruction. The focus of this study is to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the technique of beginning with the third position and studies related to its which have extended from the early 20th century to the present day while placing it within its historical context as much as possible. The study aims to reveal the technique's historical process so as to contribute to its development and diffusion. As a result, it can aid in the increase of awareness of the technique as well as production of material related to it for the benefit of both educators and students. The use of third position for beginning instruction began to attract interest in the early 20th century, which is when its benefits began to be mentioned. Some pedagogues have, in fact, written method books which make use of this technique, applied it in their classrooms and shared the positive results which they experienced. Despite the ongoing debates between educators and performers in the 21st century regarding its advantages and disadvantages, the technique of beginning with the third position has not received much interest as an academic topic, nor has it been adequately studied. An important conclusion from the examination of its historical process and an evaluation of views expressed is that the lack of relevant material creates an obstacle to the use of the technique. As such, there is a need for studies based on the use this technique which also produce related material.","PeriodicalId":171243,"journal":{"name":"Music Scholarship / Problemy Muzykal'noj Nauki","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114865941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Анализ композиции, драматургии и музыкального языка Пролога как обобщающего по смыслу крупного раздела произведения приводит к пониманию закономерностей взаимодействия структурных элементов драматической пьесы и вокально-симфонической формы. Автор рассматривает смысловые и композиционные функции диалога как особой формы высказывания, характерной для пьес драматического театра и для известных разновидностей литургической музыки X–XV вв. (тропы, «священные драмы», миракли, мистерии). В результате анализа выявляются композиционные особенности вокально-симфонических и вербальных эпизодов Пролога, определяются смысловые и музыкально-драматургические функции его структурных единиц, связанных с музыкальным воплощением молитвенного текста Клоделя «Из бездны я вознесла свою душу...» и начального стиха на латыни из Псалма 129 «De profundis clamavi ad Te, Domine». В звуковом пространстве Пролога «Жанны д’Арк на костре» выявлена драматургическая многоплановость, определено значение связующих композиционных элементов (межтекстовых связей). Сделаны выводы: о временно́й многомерности как форме преодоления композитором линейности сюжетного повествования, позволившей современникам 1930–1940-х годов воспринимать смысл «Жанны д’Арк на костре» как актуальный; о методах развития полифонической музыкальной ткани в вокально-симфонической композиции Пролога драматической оратории; о претворении в композиции Пролога баховских принципов «контрапункта аффектов» и «централизующей силы равнодействия аффектов». Важными оказались наблюдения над драматургическими рифмами в композиции Пролога; о смысловой значимости литургической сферы в музыкально-драматургическом развитии произведения; о духовном измерении времени и вечности, раскрывающем в Прологе драматической оратории смысл явления, определённого Артюром Онеггером как «действительный синтез».","PeriodicalId":171243,"journal":{"name":"Music Scholarship / Problemy Muzykal'noj Nauki","volume":"206 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121634178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
