THE MULTIMODALITY OF THE PERFORMING PRACTICE OF UKRAINIAN ENSEMBLE MUSICIANS (LATE ХХth – EARLY ХХІst CENTURIES)

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the main trends in aesthetics and semiology of ensemble performance in the context of intonational-language modifications and key artistic movements and technologies of postmodern time. Theoretical issues of artistic multimodality are examined in the light of the theory of musical intermediality and the semiotic-communicative modes of contemporary ensemble-performing vocabulary are defined as a manifestation of a new degree of universalism in the performing art. According to the results of a study of the creative practice of chamber groups in Ukraine at the end of the ХХth and beginning of the ХХІst centuries, it was proved that the multimodality of performing qualities lays the foundation for a new aesthetic-hermeneutical concept of ensemble performance in the semiological context of postmodernism.
