NATIONAL AS "SINGULAR" IN THE MUSICAL CULTURE OF GALICIA IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY

Abstract

The creativity of the Galician composers of the first half of the nineteenth century is considered through the prism of the category of "general", "special" and "individual". It is argued that the Rus-Ukrainian identity, unlike the "Viennese" as a general, is represented here by the category of "individual", being an embodiment of its identity and individuality. It is noted that in the works of Galician composers, one of the main markers of national identity is the kolomyika, which most actively used in all secular genres by M. Verbytsky. The culmination of the kolomyika character is the symphony No. 5 of the composer, where for Kolomyika as a dance is given a whole section. In addition to Kolomyika and the Cossack, the national source from which M. Verbytsky, I. Lavrivsky and their followers drew inspiration for creativity became a song-romance. Her influences are marked not only secular, but also church music of Galician composers. In the context of the category of the national one, is analyzed the hymn "Ukraine is not dead yet", which became a symbol of national musical identity. By searching for musical counterparts to the poetic text of P. Chubynsky, the composer comes to a deeper understanding of the national, which is no longer conceived outside the tradition, since it alone, defining the identity of the national culture, ensures its continuity.
