Abstract:
Some peculiarities of genre tradition as an artistic category are
considered (based on the example of a modern Ukrainian pipe organ music).
It was found out that the transformation of the genres are natural process,
that directed to preservate the constant traits, that are considered as genre
tradition. It has been proved that in Ukrainian organ music European genre
traditions are such a set of genre characteristics, that sprout in new organ
pieces and reflect the total “organ experience” of European composers.
Genre traditions of organ music have external and internal aspects, that come
out on structural and functional-dynamic levels. Due to this, genre can be
presented as dialectic sum of unchangeable and changeable features. It was
revealed that considering the genre tradition as a constant category it can be
characterized in three pair of attributes – cult and secular, retrospective and
perspective, national and international. The infusion of the primary genre in
new minds is accompanied by a waste of power and real contextual links,
which are saved in the memory of the genre and are manifested by
composers in form of allusions. The embodiment of ancient organ music genre
traditions in the new conditions is accompanied by the loss of its real
contextual connections and intensification of association links. Considering
genre tradition as a dynamic fenomena of European organ art we identificate
three types of genre traditions’ interaction – interference, interpolation and
inclusion. These ways ensure the productive prolongation of genres in the
conditions of modern organ music creativity. The prospects of research of genre
tradition as artistic category open ways to the comprehension of the modern
musiс’s principles.
