"Missa" de Vladimir Ciolac. Aspecte componistice

Author(s): Elena Nagachevsky / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 2/2016

Vladimir Chiolak’s „Mass” is a work unique to the compositional output in the Republic of Moldova. It synthesizes into a tight polystylistic and neo-romantic alloy various compositional techniques from different eras, such as Postmodernism, Classical, Baroque, and Medieval. All of the constituent elements in the „Mass” derive from one another. Thus, the structure of intonations directly correlates with intervallic and polyphonic organization; rhythmic organization – with dynamics and form; modal organization – with tonal and harmonic structure. Together these compositional principles create a balance of the choral, solo, and orchestral parts. The components of the polymorphic texture are subject to the third research article. The results of the compositional, performing, and research work, that ensure the viability of this composition in audio and audio-visual perception of the recipients, are summed up in the corresponding sections of this article

"Novi talas" u percepciji novih generacija

Author(s): Marija Ristivojević / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 4/2013

The paper represents an analysis of contemporary ideas about new wave music formed by generations born after 1980, in the "post-new wave" period. The ever more evident tendency to revitalize and re-actualize the new wave phenomenon at the local level, as well as the identities which stem from it, is indicative not only of the importance of this musical concept but its interdependence with the local community. The echoes of different contemporary narratives about this phenomenon influence the forming of a set of notions about, on the one hand, new wave itself, and on the other – notions about Belgrade of that time period, among generations which form their opinions and perceptions of it indirectly, and after the fact. The aim of the paper is to an- swer the question of the extent to which young people today are familiar with new wave and what the concept represents for them.

"Per se" Sound

Author(s): Liliana Mercioiu Popa / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2018

Many correlations have appeared between music and visual art over the course of time, and not few were those who mastered and practiced both means of expression and founded their creative experience on the said correlations. This study focuses on the visual artists who used such experiences in their work, and also on some cultural contexts in which visual art borrowed some of the cognitive characteristics of music and brought them into its specific field of interest, i.e. the visual language, thus leading to hybrid forms of art, which in time have become new forms of contemporary art, where sound serves as the main operating element.

"Romanian Religious Chant Today. Tradition, Loans or Imitations”

Author(s): Alexandrel Barnea / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2011

Religious chant in nowadays Romania is of byzantine tradition. Along the years there have been many disputes regarding the way we managed to keep the original manner of chanting undamaged by different influences. It is our conclusion today that most of those who stated their attempt to bring back the original manner of interpretation, in fact grow apart from it. We rarely hear someone performing a truthful, clear and sincere byzantine chant. In fact, most of those who try to revive the byzantine manner of interpretation have done nothing else but to adopt a Greek method of chanting which is not traditional for the Romanian Orthodox Church. This, we consider to be a mistake, which threatens to destroy the beauty of the traditional chants.

"Serc starania stracone" - szekspirowskie libretto Wystana Hugh Audena i Chestera Kallmana

Author(s): Tomasz Kowalski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 13-14/2009

The article deals with the most significant changes the authors introduced in order to adapt the Shakespearean play to operatic requirements, e.g. reducing the number of characters, ascribing new parts to some of the characters remaining or balancing female and male voices on stage. An analysis is made here also of the flow of time inscribed in the libretto and the significance of the scene when the messenger comes to the Princess, saying that the King of France is dead. Their symbolism is interpreted with the additional contexts that were provided by W.H. Auden’s lecture on Love’s Labour’s Lost, which are: court love, court manners, euphuism and the Platonic philosophy and its continuations. This philosophical context allowed both poets to read the play as a process of gaining knowledge of life and feelings which the King of Navarre and his courtiers had declared to study in their academy, but never succeeded.

"Tears" the lied by Felicia Donceanu

Author(s): Mădălina Gabriela Ionescu / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

Considering the complex landscape of Romanian music during the second half of the 20th century, and the first half od the 21st centuri, and the richment of artistic solution offered by various forms of representative Romanian composers of this period of time, this paper proposes to highlight the artistic portrait of composer Felicia Doncenau, reflected in the vocal-chamber paper „Tears”, a complex portrait painted under the influence of collateral talents in the music field. Although it is a miniaturea paper in its essence, this lied called „Tears” is composed with unique lyrics, it is offering us a sound landscape born from moral criteria, by personal methods and means, crossed by syncretic thinking, assembled in an assumed stylistic freedom. The modal-diatonic sonority of the work and the popular lyrical verse are just a few Donceni’s style features found throughout the vocal-chamber creations.

The scientific novelty consists in understanding the development process of the professional musical art of Bukovyna; in revealing features of creative thinking of the composers of the region; in clarifying the principles of orchestral music of the region; in the analysis of music by L. Zatulovskyi, whose work was not explored in contemporary musicology. Conclusions. The orchestral suite "Wandering Stars" concentrates the signs of creative thinking of L. Zatulovskyi, his principles of work, which combine the properties of various fields of music, thereby denoting the formation of polystylistics, where the classical traditions of European and Ukrainian music, folk music creative work and traits of Bukovynian multinational musical culture are interwoven. L. Zatulovskyi’s suite is an example of the scene-genre programme symphonism, where the background of the colourful national environment reveals the relationship between the heroes of the novel by Sholem Aleichem.

The composer, relying on genre features of folk music, was able to achieve his own originality of writing. L. Zatulovskyi, intertwining the intonation and rhythmic features of the Ukrainian, Bukovynian and Jewish song and dance traditions, enriched the melody of his works and brought it to a new level of interaction with harmony and a tone-key component.

"YouTube" як найпотужніший інструмент просування музичних відеокліпів

Author(s): Nikita Bogdanov / Language(s): Ukrainian / Issue: 2/2017

Purpose of the work. The purpose of the work is to identify possible methods for using Social Media Marketing and the YouTube channel to promote video production. The research methodology consists in the use of functional, systemic, comparative and media analysis to consider the YouTube channel as a quality content for the promotion of video production. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the disclosure of the main provisions for the promotion of video products (music videos) on the channel "YouTube". For the first time, the methods of promoting video production in "YouTube" are considered, in the context of the development of Internet technologies. Conclusions. "YouTube" belongs to the most popular hosting, where you can rank and promote national video products for little money. Also, the video format is considered an important component in the work of marketers. Videos fully demonstrate the various characteristics of the product or create valuable educational or cultural and artistic content. Therefore, producers and marketers are constantly increasing the volume of financing the production of advertising videos and video clips in order to interest potential buyers. At the same time, there is a risk of copyright infringement in the network, so the problem of legislative regulation of the protection of the rights of modern music performers and popularization of their video production is still relevant.

"БІФУНКЦІОНАЛЬНИЙ КОД" КАМЕРНОСТІ ЯК СЕМАНТИЧНА УСТАНОВКА ІНСТРУМЕНТАЛЬНО-АНСАМБЛЕВИХ ЖАНРІВ

Author(s): Liudmіla Povzun / Language(s): Ukrainian / Issue: 2/2017

Purpose of the research is to identify of genesis of the concept of chamber activity, to study transformation processes of the chamber phenomenon in instrumental ensemble genres and to substantiate semantic and style ambivalence of chamber activity as a genre phenomenon. Methodology. There are philosophical-aesthetic and historical-cultural methods, as well as retrospective and comparative methods for studying the development of chamber instrumental genres and ensemble music-making used in the research. Scientific novelty. For the first time chronotopic and semantic "universality" of the chamber category has been determined. Chamber activity in instrumental and ensemble art appears as a multi-level phenomenon: according to the conditions of performance, quantitative/qualitative structure, expressive means, semantic parameters and acoustic-spatial indicators. Conclusions. Semantic chamber characteristics, born in Baroque era, exist as a genetic "core" in the varieties of chamber-ensemble creativity and, by adding new qualities typical to every new historical era, they do not lose their fundamental principles, combining common-trivial, elevated-sacred, amateur-playing and professional-performing, chamber-intimate and concert-overemotional. Instrumental ensemble genres have a tremendous potential of quantitative-instrumental and qualitative-timbral variability, as well as a wide range of artistic possibilities for the embodiment of all, sometimes totally opposite features of chamber semantics. In 20th-21st centuries having experienced the influence of many artistic and aesthetic trends, chamber instrumental ensemble genres continue revealing their new expressive possibilities at the new stage of their historical development, preserving its genetic genre chamber code as the orientation into the higher spiritual sphere.

"Вітрувіанська людина. 325:4=(75/130/50/70)"

Author(s): Natalia Kiza / Language(s): Ukrainian / Issue: 22/2012

Концерт з такою загадковою назвою відбувся наприкінці вересня у залі Національної академії мистецтв України. Насправді – нічого загадкового. Захід було присвячено чотирьом композиторам-ювілярам – Валентину Сильвестрову, Ігорю Стравінському, Вікторії Польовій та Євгену Станковичу. Можливо, це так і не планувалося, проте у формулі, де сума вікових даних митців ділиться на їхню кількість, результатом є ніхто інший, як блискучий піаніст, котрий цю присвяту здійснив, представивши сольну програму. Це Євгеній Громов – власне, та сама "вітрувіанська людина", яка протягом вечора здійснила кілька перевтілень, майстерно "вписавшись" у "пропорції" творів, задані обраними композиторами.
