Abstract
The article is aimed at examining the multidimensionality of Eastern monody. At its core lies the understanding that
multidimensionality is an inner attributive trait of thinking and perception, while Eastern monody presents a specific
type of its realization. Multidimensionality is defined as the simultaneous correlation and unfolding of various plans,
elements and functions, a unity of conjoined and successive processes.
The conceptual foundation is constituted by the position that all logical-intonational connections upon perception
and replication of music are carried out within psychical processes of thought and beyond a perception filled with
the tradition and culture of hearing. On the basis of this concept two planes are singled out: the outward – where
the music is performed and sounded out, and the inward one – where the connection between the sounds is carried
out. The primary function of the inward plane is to carry out a logical coordination of interaction of elements in the
outward plane. The main function of the outward plane is the procedural development of musical meanings for hearing
and artistic creativity. The structure and principles of correlation of the inward and outward planes are perceived as a
special principle of multidimensionality which is defined as a two-plane functional opposition (TFO), examined as one
of the universal forms of the phenomenon of binarity.
The initial form of practical discovery of music is music making which carries out the function of realization
of the outward plan – the procedural development of musical thought. Music making as a brand of human activity
stipulates in many ways the specificity of musical perception and thought. At the basis of implementation of the TFO
of the multidimensionality of Eastern monody lies the type of music making formed by solo singing with instrumental
accompaniment. In its structure of “voice-instrument,” two main types of the multidimensionality of the TFO are
actualized – the contrasting and the diffuse, encompassing the various sides of the monadic process in their vertical
and horizontal strata.
Keywords: multidimensionality of melody, Eastern monody, musical thinking, binarity in music.
