MODELING OF THE RESEARCH CORPUS FOR THE COMPUTATIONAL STUDY OF UKRAINIAN SACRED MONODY

Abstract

The relevance of the article is due to the need for a technological approach to the analysis of the Ukrainian sacred monody of the XVI–XVIII centuries. The possibilities of modern computer technologies contribute to the development of new programs to emphasize the structural elements of medieval chants. The goal is to determine the elements of the form of the Ukrainian sacred monody of the XVI–XVIII centuries through the use of computer calculations. The objectives of the article, in accordance with the goal, are: to identify the latest approaches in information technologies that contribute to the preservation and study of important artistic artifacts, as well as the application of technical developments of linguistic computer projects for the analysis of the monodic musical corpus. The research methodology is determined by the systematic and structural methods of scientific research. In particular, historical, chronological and source study methods were used as the basis of digital projects for the preservation of artifacts of ancient music; The system classification helped to comprehensively analyze the functioning of optical music recognition methods in the analysis of the structure of a monody corpus. The source base of the research is the collected material of the Ukrainian sacred monody of the XVI–XVIII centuries and modern computer linguistic programs. The scientific novelty of the work is determined by the use of the spectrum of computer formats and special processes of optical recognition of music in the scientific musicological circulation. Conclusions. The creation and research of musical corpora of the XVI–XVII centuries is an urgent task aimed at researching the intonation fund of Ukrainian musical culture. Digital compilations of musical artifacts such as notolinear irmologions XVI– XVII allow the application of analytical or computational methods to such musical texts, and their development, along with appropriate software, is a multi-stage and promising task. At the modeling stage, the spectrum of computer music formats and the peculiarities of the process of optical music recognition should be taken into account. This will enable the musical corpus for such further research as the search for musical information, diachronic analysis, analysis of variability, data mining, as well as the functioning the elements of the form in the Ukrainian sacred monody of the XVI–XVIII centuries. All this testifies to the need for a multidisciplinary approach in the study of medieval music.
