Abstract

The aim of the work is to determine the influence of the characteristic features of the linguistic and style environment of the second half of the twentieth century on the development of Lesia Dychko's creative personality (on the example of the song cycles Pastels and Enharmonic, written to the words of P. Tychyna). The analyzed song cycles demonstrate the artist’s deep penetration into the figurative concept of the poet's free verses, reflecting its semantic properties by musical means. We notice a lot in common and consonant in the works of both artists, namely, an impressionistic vision and perception of the surrounding world, a deep philosophical understanding of nature, a symbolic load of images. The musical-theoretical analysis of the cycles has shown the principles of the development of material common to poetry and music, such as cross-cutting development, leitmotif, etc. The article reveals another facet of the composer's stylistic direction, namely, the expressive means inherent in impressionism: the coloristic function of harmony, ostinato techniques and organ points, the melodic line of recitative-declamatory or instrumental plan. The overwhelming majority of them correspond to the principles of impressionism in combination with modern innovative techniques of the musical language and personal individual stylistic features of the composer.

Rezumat. STILISTICA IMPRESIONISMULUI ÎN CICLUL DE LIEDURI  „PASTELURI” ȘI „ENARMONIC” PE POEMELE LUI PAVLO TYCHYNA. Scopul lucrării este de a determina influența trăsăturilor caracteristice ale mediului lingvistic și stilistic din a doua jumătate a secolului al xx-lea asupra dezvoltării personalității creatoare a Lesiei Dychko (pe exemplul ciclurilor de Lieduri pasteluri și enarmonic, scrise pe versurile lui P. Tychyna). Ciclurile cântecelor analizate demonstrează penetrarea profundă a artistului în conceptul figurativ al versurilor libere ale poetului, reflectând proprietățile sale semantice prin mijloace muzicale. Observăm multe lucruri comune și consonante în lucrările ambilor artiști, și anume, o viziune impresionistă și o percepție a lumii înconjurătoare, o profundă înțelegere filosofică a naturii, o încărcare simbolică de imagini. Analiza muzical-teoretică a ciclurilor a arătat principiile dezvoltării materialului comun poeziei și muzicii, cum ar fi dezvoltarea transversală, Leitmotivul, etc. Articolul dezvăluie o altă fațetă a direcției stilistice a compozitorului, și anume, mijloacele expresive inerente impresionismului: funcția coloristică a armoniei, tehnicile ostinato și punctele de orgă, linia melodică a planului recitativ-declamator sau instrumental. Majoritatea covârșitoare a acestora corespund principiilor impresionismului în combinație cu tehnicile inovatoare moderne ale limbajului muzical și trăsăturile stilistice personale ale compozitorului.
