I. S. BACH VOCAL MINIATURES IN THE MODUS OF SOLO SINGING TRAINING (THROUGH THE PRISM OF MODERN BACHIANISM)

Abstract

The article, based on a brief overview of the Bachology (science about J. S. Bach) achievements and of the trends in the development of traditions of foreign and domestic Bahianism, justifies the need to research the J. S. Bach’s vocal miniatures in the context of improving the domestic vocal methodology. Studies of the last decade on the problems of vocal and artistic performance of the great German composer’s works have been noted. Vocal miniatures, phonically optimized for the initial training of the singer’s voice, have been identified; the musical analysis (exemplified by «Das walt’ mein Gott», BWV 520), which revealed the undeniable usefulness of J. S. Bach’s vocal compositions for the development of the singer’s professional voice during the initial stage of vocal education, was carried out; the necessity of introducing the J. S. Bach’s
songs into the pedagogical repertoire of the beginning vocalist is justified.
