The aim of the article is the analysis of the tasks, demands, social and cultural background of the conditions of work, potential audience, the peculiarities of performance repertoire, professional training of the membership of the orchestra companies and the conductors of the orchestra’s groups of the Regular Army during the first decades of the XXth century.

Each of them obligatory had their own musical groups: mainly brass or competent symphony orchestra which included numerous Czech musicians and trumpeters as a separate unit. Each orchestra performer, as a rule, played two different instruments (brass and stringed). Their work was supervised by bandmaster and warrant officer – tambour major (who supervised group’s training as a conductor of the orchestra and their preparation to the defile), they were mainly Austrians, Germans and Czechs. Besides applicable military functions the orchestras took part in the civilian ceremonies, divine services and funeral ceremonies, every week at holidays and Sundays they carried out unmounted and hoarse defile along the city with march and light music of European authors under arrangements of their conductors (namely, arrangements of folk songs and dances), performed programs of European classical music in concert halls; and in public places: in park platforms, skating rigs; they also made guest-performance tours to the recreation resorts. In 1918 with the formation of Polish State there were some transformations in musical sphere of Polish Army and the USS Army. The conductors of military orchestras of Lviv region of the first decades of the XXth century faced the vast complex of tasks: the ability to work with the variety of personnel in the open air (in the field), in the square, hoarse defile and unmounted defile) in the covered concert-theatrical, theatrical buildings; mastering, providing, creation and adaptation of the universal repertoires to the real performance, potential and concert conditions, ensuring the training conditions of the new generation to the range of professional orchestras of ac","PeriodicalId":40238,"journal":{"name":"Studia Universitatis Babes-Bolyai Musica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69202190","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 actions of the Soviet authorities in the one of most dramatic periods of the last century for Ukraine – the 1930s – regarding the dissemination and support of musical amateur music are analyzed (for example, regular financial support, awarding of bonuses, patronage, organization of public events, set-up of publishing activities, training systems for amateur performance leaders, which, in general, contributed to raising musical amateur movement in Ukraine to a professional level).

The need to reveal the meaning and value of a particular technique led to the use of the semantic method. In comparison with other romantic examples – F. Schubert and H.

As a result of the analysis, we made a conclusion about the relative constancy in all three selected samples of the implementation of repetition both at the level of the entire text (three stanzas), the structure of the stanza, and at the level of keywords (question “Kennst du…”), at that time, the renewal in the poetic text observed in the second and third stanzas of Goethe’s poem, is embodied in different musical and poetic forms — from leveling changes (S. Moniuszko) to their consistent implementation (H. Wolf). The only exception to this is the “chorus”, in which J.

The study is topical because of the new efforts aimed at understanding and arrangement of the evolution of established aesthetic systems and experiments in music and fine arts in the 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st century, as well as their influence on modern practices of introduction of meaningful elements of painting, graphics, architecture, and multimedia technologies into music creation processes. The aim of the research was to identify current trends in music visualization through the arrangement and generalization of the experience of artists of the 20th — early 21st centuries, who used expressive arts, synthesizing one art into another in their musical compositions, as well as to identify the background of those synthetic ideas and ways to implement them. The scientific research established that the development of synthetic art has its roots in the disposition towards merging arts and versatility. The fine arts practices applied in music has contributed to the expansion and enrichment of artistic means and techniques and has entailed further complication of sound and visual components in the overall concept of the work. It is concluded that the individual creative and personal traits of the artist, who seeks to fully convey the multidimensional figurativeness of the work determine a significant impact on implementing fine arts practices in music.

It was found out that the transformation of the genres are natural process, that directed to preservate the constant traits, that are considered as genre tradition. It has been proved that in Ukrainian organ music European genre traditions are such a set of genre characteristics, that sprout in new organ pieces and reflect the total “organ experience” of European composers. Genre traditions of organ music have external and internal aspects, that come out on structural and functional-dynamic levels. Due to this, genre can be presented as dialectic sum of unchangeable and changeable features. It was revealed that considering the genre tradition as a constant category it can be characterized in three pair of attributes – cult and secular, retrospective and perspective, national and international. The infusion of the primary genre in new minds is accompanied by a waste of power and real contextual links, which are saved in the memory of the genre and are manifested by composers in form of allusions. The embodiment of ancient organ music genre traditions in the new conditions is accompanied by the loss of its real contextual connections and intensification of association links. Considering genre tradition as a dynamic fenomena of European organ art we identificate three types of genre traditions’ interaction – interference, interpolation and inclusion. These ways ensure the productive prolongation of genres in the conditions of modern organ music creativity.
