Concerning one Modus of Manifestation of the Image of Night in Music
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article is focused on examining one of the sought-after images in music is the image of night. Marking
the multiplicity of the semantic angles of manifestation of the given theme in music, the author notes the
predomination of two: night as the mystery of love, and night as the archetype of darkness – the abyss, infinitude
and nonentity experienced by human consciousness as the horror and animal fear of dissipation. Researching the
nature of this image, the emotional moves of the soul, as well as the means of their manifestation form the aim of
the article. The author offers a way of studying the present theme based on examination of the biological nature of
emotions and the specificity of their manifestation on a physiological level and leads to examining their modeling
in our sound material and their evaluation in the historical-cultural stratum. This makes it possible to emphasize
the steady invariant means of embodying emotions generated by the image of night as a limit of existence on
the level of means of musical language. In the process of the cultural selection of musical means capable of
actualization of the artistic modeling of the emotion of fear produced by the theme of night, only those end up on
the list of invariable ones which have associative connection with the states experienced by the human organism.
This means of research is perceived to be productive, since it leads to an understanding of the essence of music
as a communicative system appealing to the emotional-sensual, rather than to conceptual nation of cognition of
the world.
Keywords: night, music, emotions, fear, artistic image.
