Abstract
In musical scholarship in Russia and in other countries the actuality remains for the tendency of
reconsideration of the most significant phenomena of history in light of “reevaluation of the past”
and “substantiating the course of the future.” There is a prevalence of a critical attitude towards
of official holidays as an instrument of state policy directed at correcting the worldview-related
perceptions of the people in the directions, presuming a severance of connections with the preceding
tradition. The most important state holidays, the development of which has not been severed for
over three-hundred years, are victory holidays. Research of holidays celebrating victories in the
historical dynamics has shown a three-stage sequence of the processes of formation, transformation
and revival. The structure of the victory holiday is formed out of stable (church and military rituals
and ceremonials) and mobile elements (mass entertainments and sights). Music, as an inseparable
component of all parts of any holiday, forms a carcass which supports the multidimensionality of the
spatial/temporal continuum of ritualistic and playing forms of activity. It participates in the creation
of the conceptual sphere of a holiday and forms the indispensable conditions for transmission of
cultural values.
Keywords: the art of music, holiday celebrating a victory, official festivity, dynamics of Russian
culture.
