Abstract

The article examines the phenomenon of the popular (nonacademic)
romance song, which has been widely representative
in Russian vernacular music, the invariant traits of the genre (the
confessional tone, variety, chamber qualities, the semantics of the
sad and nostalgic, melodramatic aspects) are examined, and its
historical path is traced (from the late 18th century until the present
day). The reasons are revealed of the relevance of the popular
romance song, its separate varieties (the songs of the White émigrés,
tavern songs, parody romance songs and romance songs in rock
music) in the aspects of introversive/extroversive, contemplation/
action, personal/social, as well as beautiful past/bleak present.
The stylistic peculiarities of the contemporary romance song are
revealed on the example of compositions from the repertoire of
A. Malinin, E. Vaenga, N. Noskov and other singers.

Keywords: romance song, postmodernism, mass music,
