Polkanov A. The phenomenon of chamber singing: from aesthetic guidelines to musical and semantic properties.

The dissertation reveals the historical and figurative-semantic dynamics of the development of chamber singing as a separate musical phenomenon, clarifies its modern typological semantic guidelines, determines the place of chamber and vocal creativity in the genre system of musical art. The affinity of hermeneutic and dialogical approaches to the figurative content and linguistic specificity of chamber and vocal music is revealed. The leading tendencies of stylistic formation of chamber singing and the corresponding compositional principles are clarified, the specifics of genre formation in chamber-vocal music at the transition from the XIX to the XX century and from the XX to the XXI century are revealed. The leading genre forms of chamber and vocal music in the works of contemporary Ukrainian composers, in particular those from Odessa, are characterized, the specificity of the author 's programmability as a polysemantic phenomenon, indicative for chamber and vocal creativity, is covered. The study of genre principles, leading stylistic trends in the development of chamber singing as a field of academic professional music art allows to form a sustainable approach to the study of stylistics and semantics of modern chamber and vocal work. Aesthetic and semiological qualities of chamber singing are distinguished, which determine its own typological features and modern stylistic significance. It is proved that an important factor of chamber vocal intonation is the semantic complexity of the chamber cycle, its subordination to a fairly broad aesthetic concept, figurative program, semantic growth "from within", as well as specific vocal-interpretive linguistic categorization of psychological "picture of the world".
