FORMING OF THE COMMON AREA FOR COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF NEUMATIC AND FIVE-LINE STAFF SEMIOGRAPHY: TRANSCRIPTION AND TRANSNOTATION
Keywords:
Byzantine music, neumatic semiography, transcription, transnotation.Abstract
In the consideration of the work’s musical form musicology uses a wide spectrum of the analysis tools focused on the nature of music; and diversity of musical tools. Researches of the structure regularities (quantization, features of musical movement, identity, contrast etc.) make it possible not only to study the form principles but also to make closer true reading of the concrete music work. In the case of ancient neumatic musical notation, in particular Byzantine one, row of difficulties which need solution occurs on the way of analysis. Relational character of melody fixation in Byzantine music unlike the absolute solmization requires complex study of the graphical systems; harmonious and tone thinking; metric; rhythmic and aesthetic features of the Byzantine musical system of eight modes. Materials of different scientific schools give us clear understanding of the ancient ichos essence with all its musical characteristics. During the 20th century basic principles of the transcription of the middle byzantine semeiography and transnotation of the New method on western five-line staff system have been forming. Achievements of methodology are the result of continued search of keys to the reading of interval, rhythmic and dynamic drawings of Byzantine chants.
