On Embodiment of the Religious Tradition of the Middle Ages in Music of V. Martynov

Main Article Content

Vyacheslav N. Grachyev

Abstract

The article describes the use of numerology in the content and structure of religious music of Vladimir Martynov. The mediaeval and contemporary numerology are examined separately in our study. The author makes an attempt to find the associations between mediaeval symbolicism of numbers and Vladimir Martinov’s individual musical-numerological lexica. In this context the composer simultaneously exposes the conformities of the Middle age intonation, harmony and polyphonic technique concerning the contemporary composer’s music.

Keywords: music of the Middle Ages, numberic symbolism, additive process, polyphonic technique, cantus prius factus, canon texture
