Hrytsenko O. Cultural studies reflections of lyricism in performing interpretations of sympfonic music by Valeriy Antonyuk

The thesis is devoted to elucidation of creative method features of the contemporary Ukrainian composer-symphonist Valeriy Antonyuk. Due to the study of composer’s text and performing interpretations that realize the creative intention of the author, an analysis of his music lyric hero character is carried out. V. Antonyuk’s symphonic work is considered as phenomenon of metadiscourse, single artistic space of music piece (from its creation till performance and fixation) that so far remains out of attention of the current art criticism. Analysis of musical developments of modern Ukrainian composer V. Antonyuk attests his focus on creation of pieces of music in different genres. It was determined that he uses gains of varied conceptions of style. Traits of different music trends may be found in his creative method. With that, they all serve as a tool to achieve a concrete creative goal. V. Antonyuk is an artist who feels himself inherent in objecive reality, an immanent part of progressively evoltioning culture.
