Контрапункты и синтезы элементов семантического ансамбля слова и музыки в вокальных сочинениях С. В. Рахманинова (на примере анализа романсов «К ней» и «Ау!» ор. 38)

The aim of the study is to determine the ratio of the verbal and the musical layers of the text in S. V. Rachmaninoff’s vocal compositions. The paper analyses S. V. Rachmaninoff’s works “To Her” and “A-Oo!” Op. 38 from the position of musical and speech intonation, the use of intonation formulas, musical techniques. The scientific novelty of the study lies in identifying the counterpoints and principles of synthesising elements of the semantic ensemble of words and music in S. V. Rachmaninoff’s vocal compositions “To Her” and “A-Oo!” Op. 38. As a result, it has been proved that a “semantic ensemble”, which includes both the interaction of the word and its musical intonation expression and the interaction of vocal and instrumental parts, is formed in S. V. Rachmaninoff’s vocal compositions “To Her” and “A-Oo!” Op. 38.
