ARTISTIC IMPLEMENTATION OF THE REBIRTH ARCHETYPE: A LOOK THROUGH THE PRISM OF MYTHʼS LIFE (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE CHORAL SCHEDRIVKA GENRE)

Abstract

The purpose of the article: to substantiate the model of the artistic implementation of the Rebirth archetype in the life of the myth in the choral music of the second half of the 20th – the beginning of the 21st centuries, using the example of the shchedrivka genre.
Research methodology. Fifteen important studies related to the specified topic were considered, which can be grouped as follows: 1) research into the nature and modern implementation of the myth; 2) interpretation of the Rebirth archetype in the K. G. Yung theory; 3) an explanation of the positions outlined above in Ukrainian musicology.
The results. The Rebirth archetype is a constant component of the calendar-ritual life cycle of the myth, realized in numerous folklore and academic works of art. The analysis of the genre of charity in the choral work of Ukrainian composers of the second half of the 20 th – the beginning of the 21 st centuries revealed the main semantic and stylistic features inherent in the specified archetype, the main of which is an appeal to ancient, primary religious origins, which is created as original – folklore musical and poetic formulas, as well as modern authorʼs reproduction of the semantics of meeting the new year as a new life. The article presented works in which various forms of the Jungian Rebirth archetype were embodied: metempsychosis, rebirth, personality transformation, indirect rebirth.
The conducted scientific research also showed that the resurrection, as a form of the Jungian archetype of Rebirth, in the consciousness of modern man is connected with the resurrection of Christ, which is a promising topic for future research.
Novelty. The novelty of this study lies in outlining the scientific panorama of the mentality concepts and identity in their projection on the musical art and in the correlation of their meanings from a musicological point of view.
The practical significance. The results of this article may encourage future researchers of Ukrainian music to study current topics in this scientific field.
