Summary/Abstract: The concept of „social” space was developed by the American anthropologist E. Hall in the work„Hidden Dimension”, implying a distance from 120 cm to 3 m, typical of official communication. The purpose of the study of social space in music is to identify the principles of the organization of social spacein a small group that contribute to the processes of semantic formation. In the organization of interaction of participants of a small group in music, manifestations of synchronicity and symmetry which are indicatorsof action of the General principle — convergence — are established; (from Lat. converge-approach,converge) — contrasting comparison of musical themes, and then their convergence and harmoniousfusion. The result of the use of convergence by composers in opuses is associated with the identification ofa General category of meaning — for example, „terror”, „love”, „peace” and others, for which the gradual display of inner kinship between contrasting principles is carried out.
