UKRAYNA VE AVRUPA ARASINDAKİ MÜZİKAL DİYALOG: KUTSAL MÜZİK TÜRÜNDEKİ ORTAK ÖZELLİKLERİN ANALİZİ

Öz

Çalışmanın amacı, Ukrayna ve Avrupa'da kutsal müzik türlerinin tarihsel perspektiften gelişim özelliklerini belirlemek ve etkileşim alanlarını tespit etmekti. Araştırma, farklı tarihsel dönemlerde türlerin evrimini izlemeye olanak tanıyan tarihsel ve karşılaştırmalı yöntem ile müzik geleneğindeki ortak özellikleri ve farklılıkları belirlemeye yönelik yapısal ve işlevsel analizi temel aldı. Müzik eserlerinin analizinde stilistik analiz yöntemi kullanıldı ve bu yöntem, Ukrayna ve Avrupa kutsal müziğinin armonik, perde ve icra özelliklerinin temel özelliklerini belirledi. Ukrayna ve Avrupa'nın ortaçağ ruhani müziğinin ortak özelliklere sahip olduğu, özellikle monodik karakter, metin merkezli melodik yapı ve neume notasyonu olduğu tespit edildi. Liturjik gelenek, dil temeli ve performans özellikleri ile ilgili farklılıklar tespit edildi. Klasik dönem boyunca, Ukrayna ve Avrupa ruhani müziği arasında önemli bir karşılıklı etki vardı: Avrupa geleneği, ayinler, requiemler ve motetlerle temsil edilirken, Ukrayna'da Batı Avrupa polifonik tekniklerinin etkisi altında gelişen ruhani konçerto türü hakimdi. 21. yüzyılda, Ukrayna ve Avrupa kutsal müziği arasındaki etkileşimin genişlemesi, Ortodoks koro geleneklerinin Avrupa kutsal müziğine entegrasyonu ve Ukrayna bestecilerinin neoklasik ve minimalist teknikleri benimsemesi ile kendini gösterdi.

MUSICAL DIALOGUE BETWEEN UKRAINE AND EUROPE: ANALYSIS OF COMMON FEATURES IN THE GENRE OF SACRED MUSIC

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to identify the features of the development of sacred music genres in Ukraine and Europe in the historical perspective and determine the areas of their interaction. The research was based on the use of a historical and comparative method, which allowed tracing the evolution of genre forms in different historical periods, and structural and functional analysis aimed at identifying common features and differences in the musical tradition. The method of stylistic analysis was used for the analysis of musical works, which determined the key features of harmonic, fret, and performance specifics of Ukrainian and European sacred music. It was found that the medieval spiritual music of Ukraine and Europe had common features, in particular, a monodic character, a textocentric melodic structure, and neume notation. Differences related to the liturgical tradition, language basis, and performance features were identified. During the period of classicism, there was a significant mutual influence between Ukrainian and European spiritual music: the European tradition is represented by masses, requiems, and motets, while Ukraine was dominated by the genre of spiritual concerto, which developed under the influence of Western European polyphonic techniques. In the 21st century, the expansion of interaction between Ukrainian and European sacred music was established, which was manifested in the integration of Orthodox choral traditions into European sacred music and the borrowing of neoclassical and minimalistic techniques by Ukrainian composers.
