Abstract

The article is dedicated to the study of principles of implementation of folk genres into modern Russian choral music of the second half of the 20th century from the position of Phased Theory. The phased method helps identify the common tendencies during the course of an entire period of time, simultaneously enabling to disclose their individual interpretations at different segments of time, singling out two phases in the given time period. The analysis of the specific character of application of folk music sources in a composer’s musical output focuses on two main aspects: the choice of the genres and methods of work with them.

Keywords: Phased method, folk genre, dichotomy “folk music idea-composer’s idea,” reproducing folk genre, semantic extension of the folk invariant, transformation of genre, synthesis of different folk genres, lamentation, chastushka, folklore in the perspective of postmodernism
