Abstract

The author discusses the creative work Ernest Chausson, a prominent representative of French musical culture of the 19th-20th centuries which is largely understudied by Russian musicologists. The music of the composer clearly manifests its significance for French music of that time; it reveals the reverent attitude toward the national image of lyrical song, embodied in the form of refined, soulful French «mélodie». The article emphasizes some features which represent this genre.

Keywords: French music, vocal culture of France, vocal genres, French «mélodie»
