Українська вокальна музика ХХ – початку ХХІ століття у педагогічному репертуарі солістів-вокалістів
Ukrainian vocal music of the 20th – early 21st century in the pedagogical repertoire of the soloist-vocalist

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article. The paper describes the contemporary vocal pedagogical repertoire from the standpoint of its representativeness in relation to musical trends of the 20th – early 21st century. The methodology is based on a combination of historical, cultural, systemic, analytical, predictive methods, which made it possible to demonstrate the limited educational repertoire of vocalists, respectively, with didactic tasks and potential openness to expand its genre and style palette in connection with the need to train a universal academic singer. The scientific novelty of the paper lies in the fact that in Ukrainian science for the first time the problematic issues of the content of the pedagogical repertoire of academic vocalists in the context of the genre and style diversity of vocal music of the 20th – early 21st centuries were revealed. Conclusions. The contemporary pedagogical repertoire used in the preparation of academic vocalists does not reflect the stylistic and genre diversity of the musical art of the 20th – early 21st centuries, in particular, it does not contain avant-garde compositions, which have long been a constant of contemporary musical culture. Practical acquaintance with avant-garde classics is possible as part of an elective for those vocalists who plan to specialize in this direction of academic music, however, the pedagogical repertoire of training an academic vocalist does not provide for the performance of works of an avant-garde character and the acquisition of appropriate skills. The reasons for the inexpediency of including avant-garde music of the 20th – early 21st century in the main educational repertoire is the absence of a temporal distance, not always a high artistic level of contemporary works, the impossibility of including contemporary vocal music of an avant-garde character in the anthology due to the peculiarities of its notation and forms of existence, as well as the priority for the educational process of the classical vocal repertoire as such that forms the vocalist’s executive apparatus. At the same time, Ukrainian variety classics of the 20th century is an integral part of the educational repertoire of a contemporary academic vocalist, as it serves as a bridge between elite and popular musical culture.
