The purpose of the paper is to highlight the peculiarities of vocal improvisation in rock music. The historical and theoretical aspects of the research problem are characterised, the works of famous rock singers whose vocal improvisation has become an integral part of their musical activity are analysed. Research methodology. To achieve this goal, a set of methods was used, namely: general scientific methods - analysis, synthesis, generalisation, systematisation - were used to develop the problem; specific scientific methods: historical-genetic and retrospective analysis, which clarified the formation and development of rock music; comparative and contrastive analysis, which was used to outline vocal improvisation in rock music; biographical method, which was used to analyse vocal improvisation in the activities of famous rock singers. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time the features of vocal improvisation in rock music are presented. Conclusions. The article focuses on the concept of "vocal improvisation" (the process of creating music with the voice without pre-prepared musical or textual materials), reveals its essential aspects in rock music, which are hidden in a special tension, energy, emotional load, melody, smooth transitions between notes, the use of a rough voice, special effects such as echo, reverb, vocal filters. The features of vocal improvisation are analysed on the example of the works of Freddie Mercury (rock band "Queen"), Robert Plant (rock band "Led Zeppelin"), Steven Tyler (rock band "Aerosmith"). It has been found that a wide vocal range, the use of high notes, spontaneous vocal phrases and sounds are characteristic of Freddie Mercury ("Bohemian Rhapsody", "Galileo", "Someone to Love"). Whereas strong, expressive vocals and the ability to vary vocal riffs characterize Robert Plant ("Whole Lotta Love", "Dazed and Confused", "Black Dog") and Steven Tyler ("Dream", "Sweet Emotions", "Mama Kin"). The focus is on vocal improvisation in rock music of the early ХХІ century, which is characterized by eclectic styles, the use of technology, and variations in lyrics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of the paper is to research the realisation of national idea in professional music creation. The research aims are the following: to reveal the essence of artistic-esthetic phenomenon of national idea; to distinguish basic principles of its manifestation in cultural and artistic heritage; to make a compendious retrospective review of the existing approaches the creators use to the given topic; to systematise the ways of implementing the national paradigm by means of music. Research methodology lies in the use of a set of methods. The analytical and structural-logical methods have been used to describe the concept of the national idea in creative work. The historical method has enabled the creation of the chronology of addressing the given paradigm in the composer’s activity. The method of sources analysis has been applied to study the existing scientific papers on the adjacent issues. The systemic analysis has been used to study the national idea as a complex sociocultural phenomenon, while the method of theoretical generalisation has helped to draw conclusions. Scientific novelty of the research. The article is the first attempt in Ukrainian study of art to generalise the problems of manifesting the national idea in music. Conclusions. Composers manifest national features in their music first of all through their reinterpretation of folk sources that concentrate cultural, philosophical, historical, geopolitical, and psychological knowledge of a specific ethnic group. In a more abstract form the national creation paradigm may be manifested through its connection with the traditions of professional art of a certain country via the use of typical music genres, the specificity of musical language, particular style, and the mode of thinking. Followers of the national idea in music make a lot of effort to restore traditions, their artistic reconsideration, actualization, and renewal with the projection to the modern. Moreover, they try to create a cultural «matrix», an original concept of the nation’s musical creativity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to analyse piano compositions by A. Schoenberg (Six pieces, Op. 19) and A. Berg (Sonata, Op. 1) in the context of a performance reading based on the symbolist aestheticism of expressing the reviving string-plucking analogy of the keyboard-piano expression. The methodological basis is the intonation approach of B. Asafiev's school in the works of Ukrainian musicologists, including T. Verkina, O. Kozarenko, I. Lyashenko, O. Markova, O. Sokol and others, using research methods of comparative-stylistic, hermeneutical, biographical-descriptive, and analytical- typological. The scientific novelty lies in the originality of the observation of the compensatory aestheticism of the performance perspective of the above music by A. Schoenberg and A. Berg and the correspondence of the latter to the neo-symbolist tendencies of contemporary creative thinking. Another independent conclusion is the nature of this performing choice, which meets the audience's expectations and is correlated with the game-mosaic worldview of our time to exclude dramatic and tragic angles of the content of the musical classics. Conclusions. The neo-symbolist eclecticism of the post-avant-garde revived the keyboard string- plucking analogy in piano sound production, giving pianistic expression a salon-like spiritualised "lightness" that reoriented the expressionist-salon tendencies of the piano heritage of the Novovidenians to a compensatory aestheticism of pro-symbolist meaning. The reality of performing compositions by A. Schoenberg and A. Berg is that the music of their works, including those performed by the author of this essay, approaches the character of salon cordiality of sound, which rejects expressionist anti- aestheticism in favour of pro-Schubertian greetings of the post-post-avant-garde.

The purpose of the article is to analyse the significance of academic culture for higher education institutions in Ukraine and to substantiate the strategic trends of its development. The research methodology used in the course of scientific research is based on an interdisciplinary approach and includes general scientific methods of systematisation and analysis of the issue under study, which allowed specifying and substantiating strategic approaches to the development of academic culture in the university community. The objectives of the scientific research necessitated the use of an analytical approach, which helped to outline the advantages and disadvantages of the process of introducing academic culture in higher education institutions. The scientific novelty lies in the disclosure of the essence and significance of academic culture in higher education institutions of Ukraine; scientific substantiation of the strategic trends of academic culture policy in the context of motivation and incentives. Conclusions. The development of the academic culture space requires the improvement of a series of factors in the system of higher education institutions: from identifying and proving cases of dishonesty to the use of appropriate tools as methods of punishment. These issues are reflected in the majority of national papers and publications on academic integrity. In order to introduce a high level of academic culture in the university community, the following steps should be taken: to have a clear, effective, and transparent system to support a high level of academic culture in an educational institution; to focus on the capabilities of students rather than on prohibitions, metaphorical restrictions, and intimidation; to synthesise academic culture and learning space through the holistic structure of any educational component.

The purpose of the article is to investigate one of the aspects of the professional activity of the Ukrainian singer Zoia Gaidai in the 1930s, namely her participation in music competitions during the establishment of the Soviet totalitarian regime. As part of the research, we aim to show the specifics of their organisation and holding, the scale of those creative events, and their significance for the professional development of the professional singer. The research methodology consists in the application of the source study method to analyse archival documents that contain information about Zoia Gaidai's participation of in music competitions, as well as to study other materials on the topic of the research. The specifically historical method helps to highlight the socio-political processes against which the music competitions took place. The biobibliographic method enables determining the place of this aspect of the singer's activity in her creative biography. General scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, generalisation) are applied in order to thoroughly study the issue and draw reasoned conclusions. The scientific novelty of the paper consists in the expansion of information about Z. Gaidai's creative activity in the 1930s, which was supplemented by her participation in music competitions, in the assessment of the level of these competitions, their specificity and opportunities for the achievement of professional aspirations. Conclusions. The performed analysis and evaluation of the results of Z. Gaidai's participation in the music competitions of 1933 and 1937 helped to reveal the level of her professional competence and professional aspirations. Despite the challenges of those difficult years, the singer managed to win the laureate title of the All-Ukrainian and All-Union competitions, which had a positive effect on the development of her career as a performer. However, the political situation in the USSR did not contribute to the fruition of the dreams to study in Italy, thereby depriving the Ukrainian artist of the opportunity to improve her professional skills and test her talent on the international stage.

The purpose of research is to determine the features and functions of creative practices in modern cultural and leisure space. The research methodology is based on the application of an interdisciplinary approach to the set problem and the following methods: cultural, analytical, comparative, and structural-logical. The scientific novelty of the paper is in an attempt to consider a wide range of examples of creative practices in the cultural and leisure sphere in the context of their characteristic features and functions. Conclusions. Significant changes have taken place among modern consumers of cultural and leisure services, primarily in the essence of consumption, factors of production, and recreation as such. People are no longer satisfied with simply purchasing a service or product, they want to develop and improve their skills. Not only those who innovatively create something consider themselves creative, but also those who creatively consume something, corresponding to a certain lifestyle and consumption. This growing desire for creativity is associated with a decrease in time for creative activities. Weekends and holidays are almost the only period when representatives of the creative class have enough free time. The meaning of climbing, hiking, snowboarding is not only to actively spend your free time, but to feel the atmosphere that is the opposite of work and far from everyday life, explore a new space for yourself and get a maximum of new emotions and impressions. The emergence of new types of activities, such as street art, flash mobs, public art in the performance format, also dictates the emergence of new mobile forms of leisure structures. Such events do not require the creation of special spaces, but allow people to realise their need for activity, provoking both planned and spontaneous communication. A new type of cultural and leisure environment is emerging, which can host different activities and different groups of society, where people are always waiting for something new and unexpected. Creative leisure can include a wide variety of activities, such as creating clubs based on interests, groups of joint creativity (theatrical, literary, artistic), linked to certain objects that contribute to the formation of a creative cultural and leisure space. Such examples are drawing, photography, design, yoga, traveling, that is, practices that allow you to develop and improve your skills and potential. In this context, creative leisure can be defined as an activity characterised by the desire to develop personal creative potential; the consumer is involved in the creative process that forms conditions for cultural exchange and communication within courses, educational events; creativity on the part of vacationers and the presence of a special type of space, consumers of cultural services themselves determine what, when, and how they will do; joint production (producers and consumers jointly create services, products, and impressions).

The purpose of the paper is to definite the features of the military view of the current stage of the RussianUkrainian war, as one of the part of its contemporary «multiplex» vision. The research methodology combines quantitative (content analysis, statistical calculations) and qualitative (structural semiotic-semantic analysis) methods with culturological interpretation of the outcomes. Moreover, some personal observations of the authors on social platforms in Ukraine have been used. The scientific novelty consists in the theoretical reconstruction of the visual image of «war through the eyes of the military», which is markedly different from every day and journalistic assumptions about it. Conclusions. As a result of a quantitative content-analysis of the photocontent of the official Facebook-page of the Kholodny Yar 93rd separate mechanised brigade, the most popular among the 23 infantry brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the authors came to the conclusion that it forms a special point of view – «war through the eyes of the military». Paradoxically, the war does not look like a chain of combat operations with the massive use of tanks, artillery, and other weapons, the result of which is the destruction of the maximum number of enemies. It appears as a special type of human existence. This was the result of the intersection of the «peaceful» beliefs of the Operator, the professional media people who generated this content, and the real combat environment in which the shooting took place. The specified vision performs a motivational function for the active pro-Ukrainian community, which is the main audience of this page. Recognition of the peculiarities of other visions of the Russian-Ukrainian war current phase, for example, a purely journalistic one, can become a relevant direction of further research, an important component of the scientific formalisation of the modern view of it.

The purpose of the article is to define the key dominants of territorial topos and to reveal the specifics of their transmission to the artist’s biography. The research methodology is based on implementing the systemic approach by means of using a range of the following methods: the analytical method was used to grasp culture studies, philology, and arts studies sources in accordance with the paper issue; the philosophical method enabled considering biography within ontological discourse; the biographic method was used to characterise various domains of the artist’s being; the interdisciplinary method made it possible to comprehensively study the issue under consideration and obtain modern knowledge; the hermeneutic method was used to analyse the texts of the chronicles and to distinguish the typical features; the theoretical generalisation was used to summarise the research results. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time the author has revealed the key features of regional topos conceptualized by the master’s biography. Conclusions. Topos is an important paradigm of humanitarian studies reflecting the fundamental time and spatial ideas of macro-space and its laws. Regional topos is a form of image-bearing extention of questions referring to a certain territory, detailing its multifaceted nature, manifestation of its historical, civilisation, and social heritage. It restores valuable parameters of the locus’ being that have overcome various epochs and experienced different transformations but preserved stable codes, signs, symbols, as well as ethnic and professional traditions. Within the master’s biography, the aforementioned phenomenon is introduced by a complex of constituents where the predominant categories are as follows: “home” embraces the fundamentals of establishing the master’s world outlook, explains creativity issues, behaviour patterns; “childhood” reflects the image of happiness (or the wish to achieve it), trying to renew harmony, absolute love; “Small Motherland” implements the connection with native location revealing regional archetypes and specific mentality; “nature” demonstrates the unity of a person, matter, pantheistic restoring of strength, seeking the eternal creative themes, and the ability of occurring within cyclical time; “road” symbolises the content of the personality’s life path focused on eternity and spiritual immortality. The aforementioned toposes in chronicles give a key to understanding the master’s being. They do not function separately but interact, thus producing unique colouring and the sense colouration of the master’s ontology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of the article is to analyse the public holiday as a formation factor of the state cultural policy, as well as to conceptually comprehend the transformation of a modern public holiday calendar and its valuable ideological potential under the current conditions of Russian military aggression. Research methodology is based on the use of both general and special scientific methods of cognition, including methods of generalisation, synthesis and analysis, the toolkit of which is optimised for the study of public holiday phenomena as an important factor of the state cultural policy. Scientific novelty. There is a scientific gap regarding the key role of festive practices in the general scheme of building independent Ukraine. The scientific novelty of this paper lies in the theoretical generalisation of the problem and defining categorical statements related to the research topic. Conclusions. The conducted research enabled proving the need for the formation of a new state cultural policy, in the strategy of which the modern Ukrainian holidays should play an important role. Furthermore, such holidays should be significantly different comparing with the festive practices of the aggressor country and its regressive narratives. Currently, specialists in the field of culture are facing the challenges of bold experiments and the search of new forms, which should bring European value orientations and, at the same time, preserve traditional, national features. The modern public holidays should represent a more complex, highly organised level of synthesised propaganda of Ukrainian values by means of modern and conventional art. The organisation of public holidays should be undertaken by artistic intellectuals who strive to find new forms and genres of art, as well as determine the ways of the most emotional and effective forms of building state cultural policy. Significant changes can be taken under the condition of effective interaction between authorised state bodies that contribute to both cultural and artistic processes and creative energy of conscious Ukrainians. The Ukrainian society is in urgent need of high-quality cultural promotion which can be implemented by introducing new public holiday practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The goal of the work is to characterize the study of the artistic heritage of the lands and countries through which the Silk Road passed, to determine the state of research on this issue in European and Asian historiography. The research methodology is based on the general scientific principles of systematics, objectivity, critical attitude to sources. The study used theoretical research methods: synthesis, analysis, induction and deduction. As a result of using the method of comparative studies, it was possible to compare individual examples of Far Eastern and Central Asian art, to determine the role of borrowing Western cultures in Asia. In addition, the paper also uses chronological (on which the main presentation of the material is based) and retrospective research methods. Scientific novelty. This is the first time in Ukrainian historiography and art studies that the peculiarities of the coverage of the cultural and artistic development of the countries through which the legendary «Silk Road» passed have been analyzed. Conclusions. The study of the art of the Silk Road took place in several stages: from the end. XIX century to the present. The 1950s and 1990s were a transitional period, when contemporary art critics focused on classifying previous achievements and highlighting the impact of Hellenization on the Silk Road cultural movement. After the 1990s, a new stage in the study of the art of the Silk Road came, when researchers from different countries began to study the art of this region. The study also noted that current research on the exchange of art between China and foreign countries on the ancient Silk Road has focused mainly on how the East has been influenced by the West. However, the influence of Western and Central Asian Chinese art remains an unexplored problem. Therefore, this topic is definitely a promising area for further research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of the article is to attract the attention of culturologists and cultural anthropologists to the possibility of reception of the problems and research lens of non-anthropocentric anthropology. In the last third of the XX - and early XXI centuries foreign non-anthropocentric anthropology has been in an active stage of conceptualization and institutionalization. And now its influence is continuing to grow. The article reveals the essence of such academic trends as anthropology without anthropocentrism, ontological turn in line with perspectivism, trans- and posthumanistic tendencies in the humanities, material turn, bio/animal turn, and others. The methodology within the framework of culturology and cultural studies is based on the conceptual foundations of non-anthropocentric anthropology, methods of empirical (observation, comparison), and theoretical research (abstraction, analysis, synthesis, induction, and deduction), etc. The scientific novelty of the paper lies in the fact that in the Ukrainian humanities, in particular in culturology and cultural studies, an analytical review of the genesis and essence of such a research approach as nonapocentric anthropology is carried out for the first time.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the image of the Fried Swan from the stage cantata of Carl Orff "Carmina Burana" through the category of grotesque - the worldview principle in the culture of the Middle Ages and one of the leading types of artistic imagery in art nouveau. The paper reviews literary and musicological research on the grotesque as an aesthetic category and its application as a method of revealing the artistic image. What is being analyzed: the aesthetics of vagrant poetry, which is the basis of the libretto of Karl Orff's stage cantata; traditions of interpretation of the image of a swan in mythology, folk culture, folklore of different peoples of Europe, Christianity, literature of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the New Age, in particular in Romanticism, as well as in the fine arts; features of Latin poetry in general and "Swan Song" from the poetry of vagrants in particular; application of alliteration; a variant of translation into Ukrainian is provided, which is intended for a more accurate understanding of the essence of the image, reveals its new facets and is addressed to the performers of the Fried Swan part in the preparatory period of work on the image, as well as listeners. The image of the Fried Swan is the embodiment of "grotesque realism" (A. Gurevich) of the Middle Ages. The methodology is based on the application of a holistic musicological analysis, which includes philosophical-aesthetic, literary-linguistic and musical-theoretical levels. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the application of the grotesque as a philosophical and aesthetic category for studying, in particular, one of the most original images of K. Orff's work and the concept of modern musical theater in general. Therefore, the artistic and aesthetic interpretation of the figurative sphere of the cantata is considered relevant, and this work is the first such attempt in Ukrainian musicology. Conclusions. The image of the Fried Swan embodies the grotesque, in which the high and the low, the believable and the unreal, the tragic and the comic, coexist. It reflects the mentality of the Middle Ages as a unity of antinomies and at the same time possesses the characteristic features of the culture of art nouveau, where the grotesque is a typical tool for perceiving reality. The image of the Fried Swan can be considered as a kind of "key" for understanding two "artistic mentality" at once - of the Middle Ages and of the Art Nouveau. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the portrait sketches made by Karpo Trokhymenko for the picture ―Meeting of the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in Ufa‖, the difference in relation to the expressive means of art destroyed at the time of the avant-garde and finally formed social realism are clearly traced. The point, line, and plane as the leading artistic elements of the avant-garde are losing their significance, remaining to a certain extent only in the arsenal of graphic artists. Tone, light and shade gradations and energy of light acquire a special significance in the drawing of the easel painters. Conclusions. By analyzing the figurative and stylistic structure and technique of the portrait works, the peculiarities of drawing in the artist‘s asset, in particular, the attention to creating an air environment, are revealed. In the drawings of Karpo Trokhymenko, the line has no intrinsic value and is perceived only as of the part of light and shadow, dissolving in the overall tone spot. The color plays an important role in the drawings of Karpo Trokhymenko. The works made within the complex warmth and coolness of colored paper, silver graphite pencil, colored pencils and chalk and acquire the significance of independent works. A set of portraits of outstanding Ukrainian scientists - academicians, artists, writers created by Karpo Trokhymenko, has not only documentary, historical and cultural value, but is a significant monument of Ukrainian easel drawing of the Great Patriotic War period.

The objective of this paper is caused by the actual problem of comprehension the Stefan Turchak creative style as a phenomenon of national cultural scale through the identification and comparison of the individual-style dominant and the typical nationalstyle determinants of the conductor's art. To achieve the goal the semantic field of the essential characteristics of the Ukrainian national character is considered, the scientific idea of the main intonational idea of the conductor's style is formed, the peculiarities of the individual-style approach of the performer, coherent with the Ukrainian national constants are analyzed on the example of the interpretation of the J.

Purpose of Research. The purposes of the article are to analyse the problems of the verbal action of the actor on the stage and to research the way to overcome the recitation and falsehoods, using the author's stage experience, based on the system of P. M. Yershov views. Methodology. The methodology of the papers consists in the application of analytical, art history, functional, systemic methods to study the ways of verbal action in the process of the actor's stage motions. Scientific Novelty. The scientific novelty of the article is to use the author's personal experience of the playing at the various Ukrainian theatrical scenes to determine the efficiency of the various techniques and methods of acting stage speech. Conclusions. The way of the action always affects the intonation, because words, phrases are pronounced aloud and for a certain purpose. Its influence is greater and more active if the one who speaks, seeks to achieve his/her goals. It can remain unnoticed only in cases of sluggish, indefinite pronunciation. For example, an uninterested reading aloud to someone else's text means the lack of the vision of the text. Therefore the intonations will be determined by the logical modeling of the phrase. However, it is unlikely to be relief in this case. Consequently, the development of «intonation skills» includes the training of the imagination - the ability to see figuratively what you are talking about; the development of the diction words and phrases, and the skills to use the methods of the verbal action. They are three levels or three interacting parts of the entire working structure. Their defect leads to the defect of the verbal action skills, which inevitably spoil the intonation colors of the actor's speech on the stage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of the article is to study the types of artistic creativity in modern fine arts, taking into account the specifics of media arts. The methodology is the cultural-semiotic analysis of the forms of manifestation of visualization of modern art culture. The application of a systematic approach allowed us to study semiotic systems that contribute to the comprehensive disclosure of the problem of the semantics of modern forms of visualization. The scientific novelty of the work is to understand the specifics of the new media arts, taking into account their interactivity, network communication, and virtuality. Conclusions. The interaction of visual art forms and interactive technologies is a combination of artistic manifestations with visualization and programming, so, unlike the processes of classical education, this art practice, in addition to the artist, requires group work of specialists in various fields. Artists working in new forms of visual art play the role of "director" of the project, embodying their own artistic ideas in collaboration with other participants. The actualization of the art of new media is manifested primarily through the expansion of artistic creativity and the creation of multimedia projects that combine VR, AR technology, animation, and traditional shaping and drawing. Therefore, modern visual arts are becoming a powerful tool and communicative tool of modern culture. Today, Ukrainian artists are actively using visual images as central elements of visual culture. Since modern cultural communication significantly influences the formation, providing the composition and translation of cultural values, with the help of visual images artists are able to more accurately express the idea of the work, to make it understandable to the maximum number of viewers.
