GLORIOUS-GLORIFICATION TRADITION OF EUROPEAN CHRISTIAN CULTURE

Abstract

Attention is focused on the cultic foundations of culture, substantiated in the religious-philosophical and spiritual-aesthetic works of representatives of «theological cultural studies». The etymological-semantic correlation of the cult and culture was revealed, due to their appeal to praise, glorification, which together reveal not only the spiritual and ethical values of the Christian community, but also the Christian culture as a whole, forming the foundations of the phenomenon of the hallelujah paradigm of European culture and music. Multiple manifestations of the named figurative-semantic complex are indicative of various spheres of creative activity (both cult and secular), including icon painting, painting, literature, poetry, and are also concentrated in musical culture, in particular, in the genre-intonational models of Te Deum, Gloria and related forms of Christian doxology, focused on the idea of Order and spiritual unity of the earthly and heavenly principles.
