УКРАИНСКО-ПОЛЬСКИЕ МУЗЫКАЛЬНЫЕ КОНТАКТЫ В КОНТЕКСТЕ КУЛЬТУРНОЙ МНОГОСОСТАВНОСТИ АВСТРО-ВЕНГЕРСКОЙ МОНАРХИ
UKRAINIAN-POLISH MUSICAL CONTACTS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CULTURAL DIVERSITY OF THE AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN MONARCHY

Summary/Abstract: The article touches upon the problem of Ukrainian-Polish musical contacts in the con- text of the cultural diversity of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. It is confirmed that the complexity of the topic lies in the need to comprehend two different cultural traditions and their contexts, as well as in an attempt to discover the true structures of these relationships. It is noted that the defining feature of Ukrainian-Polish cultural relations in the first half of the nineteenth century were not professional contacts between Polish and Ukrainian music, but the connection of culture with culture and Polish music with Ukrainian culture. The result of these contacts was the use of Ukrainian folklore by Polish composers. Par- ticular attention in the article is drawn to the fact that the Galician burgher culture formed the same lifestyle and common values, and was also a homogenizing factor among the heterogeneous population of the region. This gives grounds to speak of the existence of a layer of musical unconscious common to the peoples of Galicia, which was spontane- ously used in the then composer’s practice. It was borrowed mainly from German and Polish cultures, which music, due to certain circumstances became an integral part in the system of musical thinking of Galician amateur composers. In this context, the patriotic choral works of Ukrainian music by M. Verbytsky are considered, in which he often uses intonations and rhythms borrowed from the Polish music.
